Per a Scott Lauber tweet, Jason Varitek has been activated from the disabled list, and will rejoin the Red Sox for the first time since June tonight as the team starts its series against the Rays.
Varitek, who last played in the June 30 game against Tampa, has been out for the last two months with a broken foot. Needing only two rehab games to get ready to play with the Sox again, Varitek collected two hits in five at bats. He was batting .263/.324/.547 while performing the backup catching duties for the Red Sox before hitting the DL.
