ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Former All-Star Charles Johnson was placed on the restricted list without pay Friday, two days after requesting a leave of absence from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to handle a personal matter.
Tim Laker was promoted from Triple-A Durham to back up catcher Toby Hall.
Johnson signed a one-year contract with Tampa Bay on Monday, less than a week after he was traded to Boston as part of a deal that sent reliever Byung-Hyun Kim to Colorado. The Red Sox immediately designated him for assignment and released him.
