Carlos Pena to the DL

The Rays placed first baseman Carlos Pena on the DL with a broken finger that he sustained in the first inning yesterday against the Red Sox on a pitch by Justin Masterson.

Considering Pena stayed in the game after breaking his finger (and homered and doubled), it doesn't sound overly serious. I would bet the Rays are just trying to be cautious and figured a couple weeks off wouldn't hurt Pena, who has been struggling for most of the season.

Clear your head, Carlos. Come back and hit like you did last season.
