Lugo activated, Bowden back to Pawtucket
After a four-game rehab assignment for Triple-A Pawtucket, the Red Sox have activated Julio Lugo from the 15-day disabled list, this according to Kevin McNamara of the Providence Journal. Lugo went 4 for 17 with a double, 2 walks and 5 strikeouts while playing error-free defense with the Paw Sox. The 33-year-old shortstop underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee on March 27 and was placed on the disabled list on April 4. Despite throwing 2.0 scoreless innings against the Yankees Sunday, Michael Bowden will be returned to Triple-A Pawtucket as expected to make room for Lugo on the active roster.
