The Rays placed first baseman Carlos Pena on the disabled list on Wednesday after he fractured his finger against the Red Sox on Tuesday night, according to The Tampa Tribune.

"It seemed like it was going to be all right, but Wednesday morning it was really swollen, extremely swollen," Pena said. "We went to check it out, and there is a fracture in there. Now, it's a matter of getting better and getting back out there."

"Emotionally, I'm extremely heartbroken because I want to be out there playing. But it is what it is, and at this moment I'm just going to go through the process and get better," he added.
