BOSTON (AP) -The Boston Red Sox activated right fielder J.D. Drew from the 15-day disabled list before the game against Tampa Bay on Monday night.
Drew, sidelined since August 18 because of a strained lower back, was hitting .280 with 19 homers and 64 RBIs before the injury.
After a disappointing regular season with Boston in 2007, Drew hit a grand slam in Game 6 of the ALCS, when Boston overcame a 3-1 deficit against Cleveland en route to its second World Series title in four years.
The Red Sox also recalled first baseman Chris Carter and catcher George Kottaras from Triple-A Pawtucket before Monday night’s game against Tampa Bay.
Kottaras and Carter joined the Red Sox after Pawtucket was eliminated from the International League playoffs at Scranton-Wilkes Barre on Sunday.
Carter, acquired last August from Washington for outfielder Wily Mo Pena, was 2-for-3 in his major league debut in his only game with Boston on June 5.
