Lowrie has wrist surgery, likely out until July
The Boston Globe's Chad Finn is reporting that shortstop Jed Lowrie underwent successful surgery today in Arizona to repair his injured left wrist. If all goes according to plan, he could be ready to return to the Boston lineup sometime in July. Lowrie was placed on the 15-day disabled list on April 13 after telling the team he had been experiencing pain in his left wrist, the same wrist in which he suffered a non-displaced fracture that he played with last season. He had been hitting just .056/.150/.056 in 18 at bats in 2009 before going on the disabled list. This followed an encouraging spring training performance that saw him hit .343/.400/.657 with 3 home runs.
