Boston, MA - The Boston Red Sox placed shortstop Alex Gonzalez on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday because of an oblique strain.

The move is retroactive to August 19th. To fill his roster spot, the Red Sox recalled infielder Dustin Pedroia from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Pedroia made his major league debut in Boston's 4-3 loss to the LA Angels of Anaheim on Tuesday, going 1-for-3.

On the season, the shortstop's first with Boston after eight in Florida, Gonzalez is hitting .270 with nine homers and 43 RBI.
