The Boston Red Sox put left-hander Jon Lester(notes) on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained muscle in his back.
The team recalled reliever Scott Atchison(notes) from Triple-A Pawtucket to take Lester’s place on the roster.
Lester had a no-hitter going against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, but he left after four innings because of soreness in his back. He had an MRI on Wednesday.

It's only fifteen days, but I am hoping it will still slow down the Red Sox a bit.
