Tim Wakefield has a “lower back strain” and is said to have suffered the injury during a side session Saturday. He is going on the DL retroactive to July 18 and Buchholz will take his spot on the roster. Seems like Wake is taking one for the team here so the Red Sox can get one more start out of Penny, Smoltz, and Buchholz before the deadline to see what they should do for the second half.
