"Jed Lowrie should finally get some relief. After enduring pain from May until October last season, discovering the nondisplaced fracture in his left wrist only after the Red Sox were knocked out of the playoffs, Lowrie has had the repairs made. No more rest and rehabilitation and cortisone shots. This time, Lowrie got the surgery - an arthroscopic ligament repair and an ulnar styloid excision, to be exact. Lowrie already was off the operating table in Arizona - and was about six weeks from picking up a bat (Boston Globe)."
When this story first broke reports were that he would miss the rest of the season, but now it sounds like he will be back around the All-Star break. Other then having a cool name Lowrie is nothing special, but at times has shown he can get on base more consistently then Lugo (though Lugo can steal bases). Either way it is nice to know the Sox will have options later in the season if Lugo sucks upon his return.
