Bailey In Tonight’s Lineup… Lowell Headed For DL
By Administrator | June 30, 2009
INF Jeff Bailey arrived in Baltimore this morning in anticipation of Mike Lowell’s scheduled consultation with the Red Sox rehabilitation coordinator this afternoon… apparently the consult didn’t go very well because Bailey has been penciled into tonight’s starting lineup at first base, batting ninth.
Sometime before the start of tonight’s game, Bailey will need to be activated… it appears a foregone conclusion that Lowell is headed for the disabled list.
Lowell has been suffering from acute pain in his left hip for the last few weeks. Yesterday, he got an injection of Synvisc in the hip and simultaneously had 15 ccs of fluid drained from the area.
Today’s evaluation was supposed to determine whether Lowell would now need to spend time on the DL to allow the hip additional time to recover. The answer was obviously in the affirmative.
