He was put on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, the 12th Tampa Bay player to go the disabled list this season. The Devil Rays recalled outfielder Randy Winn from triple-A Durham.

McCracken, who is hitting .250 with one home run and 18 RBIs in 40 games, will decide over the next several days whether to undergo surgery or try to rehab the injured knee
