"According to a source, Mike Lowell was found to have a 95-percent tear in the radial collateral ligament in his thumb when Dr. Donald Sheridan operated on him today. The surgery went well, Lowell will return to his home in Florida tomorrow and will need 6-8 weeks of recovery. That will have him ready to resume baseball activities during spring training (Boston.com)."
A part of me find this somewhat unacceptable. He had a 95% tear, and NOW they are going to take care of it. I don't know if it is Lowell's fault, or the Red Sox medical staff (my guess is the Sox), but there is no reason this wasn't taken care of until now. Most likely the Sox will not be able to move Lowell until he can prove he is healthy. It's too bad they didn't take care of this sooner, so there could be more certainty about this starters for next year...
