Newsbreakers
November 15, 2009
Jed Lowrie will begin the 2010 season at Triple-A Pawtucket, according to Peter Gammons of ESPN.
Our View:
Lowrie hit just .147 in 32 injury-plagued games last season, and the Sox want to get his career back on track in the minors. That being said, he will almost certainly be on the major league roster at some point.
October 6, 2009
Jed Lowrie has made Boston's ALDS roster, according to Amy K. Nelson's (ESPN) twitter page.
Our View:
Lowrie had his 2009 regular season spoiled by injuries, but may be able to make an impact off the bench in the playoffs.
October 4, 2009
Jed Lowrie muscled up for a grand slam on Sunday as the Red Sox won big over the Indians on the regular season's final day. He was 1-for-3 in the 12-7 win.
Our View:
Lowrie has had a lost season because of injury and ineffectiveness. He finishes the year with a .147 average, two homers and 11 RBI.
September 8, 2009
Jed Lowrie has been activated from the DL following his recovery from numbness in his left forearm, according to TSN.
Our View:
Alex Gonzalez should remain the starting shortstop, but Lowrie could see enough action to be worth holding in deeper AL-only leagues.
August 28, 2009
The Providence Journal reports that Jed Lowrie has been cleared to play for Triple-A Pawtucket.
Our View:
Lowrie suffered a setback Wednesday after aggravating his surgically repaired wrist, but doctors have given him the green light. However it's still unknown if he'll make it back to the big leagues before the end of the regular season.
August 27, 2009
Jed Lowrie aggravated his wrist injury, and was forced to exit Wednesday's rehab game with Triple-A Pawtucket, according to the Providence Journal.
Our View:
The setback is believed to be minor, but Lowrie will still undergo an extensive examination as a precaution. He crushed three homers in the first two games of his rehab assignment this week.
August 26, 2009
Jed Lowrie went 2-for-4 with two home runs in the second game of his minor league rehab stint on Tuesday, according to MLB.com. Lowrie is recovering from ulnar neuritis in his left wrist.
Our View:
This is exactly what the Sox wanted to see out of Lowrie. It sounds like the wrist is much improved if he is going deep, but he will still have to battle with Alex Gonzalez for playing time when he returns to the team.
August 24, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that injured Red Sox's shortstop Jed Lowrie will begin a minor league rehab assignment in Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday. Lowrie is recovering from ulnar neuritis in his left wrist.
Our View:
Lowrie has already been out longer than expected, but it sounds like he is nearing a return. He has been injury plagued all season, and there is no reason to believe he will stay healthy this time around. He will also have to compete for playing time with the newly acquired Alex Gonzalez at short.
August 11, 2009
Phoenix-area specialist Dr. Donald Sheridan did not find anything seriously wrong with Jed Lowrie's ailing left wrist, according to the Providence Journal.
Our View:
His tingling was caused by nerve irritation. Lowrie will be given some medication to relieve the issue, and could come off the DL when first eligible. His placement on the DL was retroactive to August 7.
August 8, 2009
The Boston Red Sox have placed shortstop Jed Lowrie on the 15-day DL with a wrist injury. The team has recalled pitcher Enrique Gonzalez to take Lowrie's place on the roster.
Our View:
Lowrie experienced numbness in his forearm on Thursday, and the team placed him on the DL in order to bring in another arm after the 15 inning marathon last night. The move is retroactive to August 7, so he will be eligible to return 15 days from that date. Nick Green will resume the starting shortstop role in Lowrie's absence.
August 6, 2009
Jed Lowrie left Thursday night's game against the Yankees in the fourth inning after irrating his left forearm on a swing. He was replaced by Nick Green at short.
Our View:
Lowrie just can't seem to stay on the field, and it is starting to look like the Sox may have given up on Julio Lugo too soon. This injury doesn't sound serious, but we will keep you updated on his condition in the coming days.
July 18, 2009
Jed Lowrie homered in his long-anticipated return to the Red Sox lineup on Saturday, but it went for naught as the Blue Jays shut down Boston 6-2 at Fenway Park.
Our View:
Lowrie isn't expected to play every day for a little while (he will split time with Nick Green), and isn't a great option outside of keeper and deep AL-only leagues for the time being. That is, unless he starts tearing the cover off the ball. Keep him on your radar.
July 18, 2009
Jed Lowrie has been activated from the 60-day disabled list and will start Saturday, according to the Boston Herald.
Our View:
He has risen! The reason the Red Sox reportedly aren't pursuing a shortstop, and released veteran Julio Lugo, is finally back with the club. He was batting just .056 with no home runs, RBI, runs or steals before going down in April, and is a career .245 hitter, but the Sox are confident in his ability to man the toughest defensive position in baseball. Nick Green should still start for the time being, but Lowrie will probably be starting before long.
July 15, 2009
According to the Boston Herald, Jed Lowrie is slated to return to the Red Sox's lineup on Saturday July 18th, as expected.
Our View:
He will travel with the team to Toronto on Friday and should be activated for Saturday's game. To make room for him on the roster the Red Sox will likely send down Nick Green unless they can find a way to dump struggling shortstop, Julio Lugo.
July 9, 2009
Jed Lowrie is set to return to the Red Sox July 18 against Toronto, according to the Boston Globe.
Our View:
Lowrie shall remain stashed in AL-only leagues. He is only hitting .056 over 18 at-bats this season, and should not be considered for fantasy duty until he proves to be productive.
July 8, 2009
According to the Boston Globe, the Red Sox have activated Jed Lowrie from the 60-day disabled list and instantly optioned him to Single-A.
Our View:
Lowrie will continue to rehab in the minors and will look to return shortly after the All Star break. The Sox DFAed Jonathan Van Every to make room for him.
July 6, 2009
Jed Lowrie has been transferred from the 15 to the 60-day DL by Boston, according to TSN.
Our View:
He was transferred to make room for Aaron Bates on the 40-man roster. Lowrie continues to rehab in the minors, and could return to the Sox at some point near the All-Star break.
July 6, 2009
The Boston Globe is reporting that Red Sox' shortstop Jed Lowrie has reported to Double-A Portland as part of his rehab assignment. Lowrie has been on the DL since April with a left wrist injury.
Our View:
It looks like Lowrie is getting close to a return to Boston, but he has to pass the test in the minors first. The Sox desperately need some production from the shortstop position, and it is likely Lowrie will get plenty of opportunity when he returns unless the team trades for someone first.
July 1, 2009
According to the Boston Globe, Jed Lowrie is heading back to Boston to have his sore left knee examined by team doctors.
Our View:
Lowrie was beaned right on his sore knee last week and it has slowed his rehab considerably. The swelling has yet to subside and he hasn't been able to get back in the lineup. Nick Green will continue to get starts at shortstop in Lowrie's absence.
June 29, 2009
Jed Lowrie is dealing with a bruised knee that is slowing his minor league rehab assignment, according to the Providence Journal. He has been rehabbing from wrist surgery.
Our View:
Lowrie is sitting out Monday to rest his knee. Skipper Terry Francona noted that his knee issue is nothing serious.
June 25, 2009
According to the Boston Globe, Red Sox' shortstop Jed Lowrie suffered a minor setback in his last rehab game. Lowrie was hit with a pitch in the back of the knee on Tuesday, and he exited with stiffness a few innings later.
Our View:
Lowrie was not scheduled to play last night anyway, but we will have to see if he is available for tonight's game. This isn't a big deal, but it is still not a good thing when a guy gets hurt while on rehab assignment. Expect his return to the Sox to stay on schedule.
June 19, 2009
Jed Lowrie is ready to take the next step in his rehab from his wrist surgery, according to MLB.com. Lowrie will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Pawtucket on Sunday.
Our View:
The Sox loosely estimate Lowrie returning to the club in a couple of weeks, potentially before the All-Star break. Nick Green will continue to handle the bulk of the starts at shortstop until Lowrie returns to the mix.
June 16, 2009
Jed Lowrie, who has been rehabbing from a wrist injury, took live batting practice Monday, according to the Boston Globe.
Our View:
Lowrie may be cleared to start a rehab assignment within the next few days. Barring a setback, he could return to Boston by the end of the month. Julio Lugo and Nick Green have not been solid defensively at shortstop, meaning Lowrie should have a chance to start.
June 11, 2009
The Boston Herald reports that Jed Lowrie's surgically repaired wrist is at 85 percent and he could return later this month. He has been taking batting practice and could begin a rehab assignment on Monday. The shortstop says he will need 20-30 at bats before he is ready to return.
Our View:
The Red Sox will have a tough decision to make once he is able to return in regards to Lowrie and Green. Lowrie started out the season just 1-for-18 and Green has shown he is respectable against major league pitching. Julio Lugo is also in the mix, but it is unlikely they would send the veteran to the minors.
June 9, 2009
According to Red Sox manager Terry Francona, shortstop Jed Lowrie is about a week away from beginning a rehab assignment (wrist surgery) the Boston Globe reports.
Our View:
The Sox shortstop position has turned into a matter of controversy this season, and they would very much like to have Lowrie back as soon as possible. He could be back with the big club in as little as two or three weeks.
June 7, 2009
Jed Lowrie (wrist surgery) is nearing his return to the diamond, and it could be in around two or three more weeks, according to the Boston Globe.
Our View:
The timetable is up to him, and skipper Terry Francona noted that he is doing terrific in his rehab. Lowrie will have a good chance to start at shortstop, as neither Julio Lugo nor Nick Green have been doing a solid job. Lowrie shall remain stashed on rosters in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues.
June 5, 2009
Jed Lowrie took live batting practice Friday for the first time since undergoing wrist surgery, according to the Providence Journal.
Our View:
Lowrie could return to the diamond before the end of June. Julio Lugo has been struggling defensively, and Nick Green has not been significantly better, meaning Lowrie will have a good chance to hold the starting job at shortstop.
June 3, 2009
Red Sox shortstop Jed Lowrie hit in the batting cage today for the first time since injuring his left wrist in April according to the Boston Herald .
Our View:
He may apparently start taking live batting practice this weekend as well. He is slated to return sometime later this month. Until then, Nick Green and Julio Lugo will continue to start at shortstop for the Red Sox.
May 30, 2009
MLB.com reports that shortstop Jed Lowrie hopes to take soft toss on Saturday. He has been fielding ground balls and hitting off a tee as he works his way back from left wrist surgery. He thinks he will return to the Red Sox sometime in June.
Our View:
The switch-hitting Lowrie is a better defensive option than both Julio Lugo and Nick Green. He had just one hit in his first 18 at bats this season, but once he's back at 100 percent, who will compete to be the full-time shortstop in Boston. At the very least, he figures to get the bulk of starts against right-handed pitchers.
May 26, 2009
Jed Lowrie is progressing well from wrist surgery, according to the Boston Globe. He took 15 swings from each side of the plate Monday. He felt better swinging from the right side, and added that he needs to work a bit on the left side.
Our View:
He was estimated to need 6-8 weeks of recovery time, and he is now at the five-week mark. The club needs him back as Julio Lugo and Nick Green have not been solid defensively. Lowrie shall remain stashed in AL-only leagues.
May 25, 2009
Jed Lowrie continues to progress in his recovery from wrist surgery, and could return to the Sox within three weeks, according to the Boston Globe. He plans on taking 25 swings off a tee today, then begin a two-week progression for his swing. He could then participate in rehab games if he feels comfortable.
Our View:
Julio Lugo is hitting .274, but committed four fielding errors. Lowrie should get a chance to unseat Lugo as the No. 1 shortstop upon his return, and is worth stashing in AL-only leagues.
May 20, 2009
Jed Lowrie is improving in his recovery from wrist surgery, according to the Boston Globe. He had a productive week with specialist Scott Waugh and Lowrie said, "The range of motion and the strength are coming back. I think the biggest difference is the pain. The pain is not there when I do the grip-strength stuff. I felt the pain before, and I do not feel it now."
Our View:
The strength in his wrist is up to 80 percent now. Julio Lugo is hitting .314 as the starting shortstop, but has committed four fielding errors, meaning Lowrie will get a chance to play and potentially start at shortstop when he returns.
May 6, 2009
Jed Lowrie, coming back from wrist surgery, is feeling better every day and he has rejoined the Red Sox to continue his rehabilitation, according to WEEI Radio. He is on schedule to return to action around the All-Star break.
Our View:
Nick Green and Julio Lugo will continue to handle the starting duties at shortstop, so there is little reason to think that the Sox will push Lowrie to return before he is 100% healthy.
April 21, 2009
As expected, shortstop Jed Lowrie had successful wrist surgery on Tuesday, according to the Boston Globe. He is expected to start swinging a bat again in six weeks and is eyeing a July return.
Our View:
Nick Green will man the shortstop position until Julio Lugo returns in a couple weeks. Lowrie will have to re-earn his starting job once he does return, assuming a healthy Lugo.
April 20, 2009
After his team's game on Monday, manager Terry Francona announced that Jed Lowrie will undergo surgery on his ailing left wrist tomorrow, reports the Boston Globe. The surgery is not expected to be season-ending, and Lowrie is expected to be back at "by the All-Star break".
Our View:
Lowrie went back and forth on the surgery issue, but it looks like he finally opted to go under the knife. The good news is that this is not season-ending, so he will be able to come back in a few months. Nick Green has taken over at shortstop, and Julio Lugo is expected to assume the position when he returns from his rehab assignment.
April 17, 2009
Shortstop Jed Lowrie will visit a specialist, Dr. Donald Sheridan, in Arizona over the coming days to determine the best course of action regarding his fractured left wrist, the Boston Globe reports. Season-ending surgery remains an option. Lowrie recently received a cortisone. "The last thing I want is to go into surgery," Lowrie notes. "But if it's necessary, that it will make this better and be the long-term solution, then I need to do that."
Our View:
Nick Green is currently getting the bulk of the work at shortstop, and the Red Sox are hoping Julio Lugo (knee) can return next week. Even if he doesn't need surgery, Lowrie will still miss another few weeks.
April 15, 2009
MLB.com reports that the Red Sox got some good news on Wednesday, as Jed Lowrie will not need surgery on his ailing wrist.
Our View:
Apparently the wrist has been diagnosed as just sprained and was treated with a cortisone shot. Assuming there are no additional setbacks, Lowrie should be good to go in about three to four weeks.
April 15, 2009
Updating a previous report, the Boston Globe is reporting that Jed Lowrie may have to have surgery on his sprained left wrist.
Our View:
The Red Sox and Lowrie opted to pass on surgery last fall, but it looks as if they will not have that luxury this time. Lowrie is going to find himself on the bench, but stay tuned for how long that will be.
April 15, 2009
Jed Lowrie will visit hand specialist Dr. Thomas Graham in Baltimore today after three doctors weren't enough to conclusively determine the diagnosis and course of treatment for his sprained left wrist, according to the Boston Globe.
Our View:
The pain in his wrist is in the same spot that bothered him last season. Lowrie is visiting Dr. Graham with hope of pinning down exactly what's leading to what with his wrist. Nick Green is filling in at shortstop while he is out.
April 13, 2009
Jed Lowrie was place on the DL on Monday with a left wrist injury, according to the Boston Globe. Nick Green will be his primary replacement.
Our View:
Lowrie was off to a miserable start this season with just one hit and eight strike outs in 18 at bats. Julio Lugo is battling his way back from a knee injury and could be in line to take over as the starter once he returns.
April 12, 2009
Manager Terry Francona is giving Jed Lowrie the day off, and Nick Green will start at shortstop in his place against the Angels, according to the Boston Globe.
Our View:
Lowrie needs a mental day off, as he only has one hit over his first 18 at-bats of the season.
April 12, 2009
Jed Lowrie was hot in spring training, but has been struggling so far in the regular season with eight strikeouts and only one hit over 18 at-bats, according to the Boston Globe. Skipper Terry Francona is not concerned as he said, "It almost never fails, but the guy that is swinging the bat the best in spring training struggles early in the season. He hit that last ball Friday night real good, which is good to see. He has actually had pretty good at-bats. He is gotten in deep counts."
Our View:
Lowrie needs to get on track before Julio Lugo returns, which could be in late-April.
April 4, 2009
Jed Lowrie hit a grand slam off of Oliver Perez in the first inning and help propel the Red Sox to a 9-3 win over the Mets. He finished the game 1-for-2 with a walk, four RBI, and a run scored.
Our View:
Lowrie had just two home runs in 81 games last season, but he has accounted for three this spring. He's not likely to turn into the next Dustin Pedroia but he should provide good value for a very modest draft day investment.
March 19, 2009
Jed Lowrie was 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and a run scored in Thursday's 9-1 win over the Reds.
Our View:
The home run was his second of the spring. He hit just two all of last season. Julio Lugo's knee surgery already meant that Lowrie would be the opening day shortstop in Boston, but he may have won the job outright as he is hitting .463 this spring. He could be a late round bargain at the draft table.
March 16, 2009
Jed Lowrie went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 6-4 win over Toronto. He hit two doubles and a homer.
Our View:
He raised his spring average to .441 and has six doubles, two homers and nine RBI. He would have likely won the starting gig at shortstop even if Julio Lugo did not go down with a knee injury.
March 15, 2009
According to the Associated Press, the shortstop job in Boston is likely to become property of Jed Lowrie now that last season's starter, Julio Lugo, may have a meniscus tear in his right knee. "I feel like, in due time, I would have gotten an opportunity no matter what," Lowrie said. "I never want to see a guy hurt. I would have rather gone the whole spring training without him getting hurt and just seeing who the better man for the job was."
Our View:
The 24-year-old Lowrie played in 81 games with the Red Sox a season ago and helped his cause this spring by batting .364 in the ALDS after a .258 mark during the regular season.
March 14, 2009
Jed Lowrie went 1-for-2 with an RBI double in Saturday's 9-8 loss to Baltimore in the Grapefruit League. The double was his third of the spring.
Our View:
This was a solid outing for Lowrie as he fights for the starting gig at shortstop. Julio Lugo did not play, and there is fear he may have a torn meniscus in his right knee.
March 10, 2009
Jed Lowrie went 2-for-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Baltimore. He hit a single and a triple, his second of the spring.
Our View:
He was caught stealing, but this was still a strong outing for him in his bid to beat out Julio Lugo for the starting gig at shortstop. Lugo went 0-for-3 in the game.
March 6, 2009
Jed Lowrie went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Marlins in the Grapefruit League. He had a single and a double.
Our View:
This was a solid outing in his bid to beat Julio Lugo for the starting gig at shortstop.
March 5, 2009
Red Sox manager Terry Francona is still not ready to name a starting shortstop, according to MLB.com. The options are veteran Julio Lugo and youngster Jed Lowrie. "They've both played well," Francona said. "That would be the best for me to have them both play well, and then we'll figure out what's best for our team."
Our View:
Lowrie certainly looks to be Boston's shortstop for the future, but Lugo may feel less pressure since he's been a starter before. The Red Sox certainly aren't close to rebuilding, so the decision will be based solely on who Francona can help Boston win the most games.
February 27, 2009
Lowrie did have a sacrifice bunt against Tampa Bay on Friday, but also went 0-for-2 while grounding into a double play and leaving three runners on base while also committing an error in the field.
Our View:
While a better performance at the plate would be nice as well, Lowrie cannot afford to be making errors in the field if he plans on beating out Julio Lugo to be Boston's starting shortstop to open the season. As of now, it appears Lugo has a slight edge for the job.
February 14, 2009
Jed Lowrie suffered through a nagging wrist injury last season, but is now pain-free heading into spring training, according to the Providence Journal. He said, "For me it was just about getting my wrist healthy. Obviously that was the No. 1 priority and I took about a month off to just let it heal. We decided not to do surgery just because there was mot enough time. I probably would not have been ready for spring training if I had the surgery. It was just a matter of giving it some rest and trying to strengthen it back up."
Our View:
Lowrie will be competing with Julio Lugo for the starting gig at shortstop, and it looks to be a tight battle. If Lowrie comes out on top, he won't offer fantasy owners much speed or power though.
February 4, 2009
Jed Lowrie is going to compete with Julio Lugo for the starting gig at shortstop, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
The position is up for grabs. Lowrie is better defensively and also a switch-hitter, but Lugo has more speed on the basepaths. Lowrie can also fill in at other positions, making him well-suited for a utility role.
