The Red Sox today called up outfielder/first baseman Chris Carter from Pawtucket to fill the void created by adding David Ortiz to the disabled list.

The 25-year-old Carter is batting .310 with 10 homers and 35 RBIs in 213 at bats for Triple A Pawtucket. He never has had a major league at-bat.

Carter came to the Red Sox in the Wily Mo Pena trade last season. He mainly played first base through his first three years in the minors, but he has logged most of his time in the outfield in 2008.

Here is tonight’s Red Sox lineup for their 7:05 p.m. game against the Rays.

1. Jacoby Ellsbury, LF
2. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
3. Kevin Youkilis, 1B
4. Manny Ramirez, DH
5. Mike Lowell, 3B
6. J.D. Drew, RF
7. Jason Varitek, C
8. Coco Crisp, CF
9. Julio Lugo, SS
