RAYS: The surprising run of the AL East leaders took a hit Sunday when the club placed outfielder Carl Crawford on the 15-day disabled list with a hand injury.

Crawford injured a tendon in his right middle finger making a check swing in Saturday's 11-inning win over Seattle. He said he felt a pop and his hand was sore.

He will be examined by team doctors today.

BLUE JAYS: Got outfielder Vernon Wells back before Sunday's loss to Cleveland, only to lose third baseman Scott Rolen after the game.

Wells came off the 15-day DL and went 0-for-4 as the designated hitter after missing 26 games with a strained left hamstring.

After being scratched from the lineup, Rolen was placed on the 15-day DL after the game with soreness in his left shoulder.

RED SOX: Knuckleballer Tim Wakefield will miss at least two starts and go on the disabled list because of a stiff right shoulder.

YANKEES: Sent starting pitcher Ian Kennedy to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and recalled reliever Billy Traber from their International League club to bolster an overworked bullpen.

MARINERS: Utility man Willie Bloomquist was placed on the 15-day DL and could miss the rest of the season after injuring his hamstring running out a ground ball Saturday.
