Sox Make Some Roster Moves

The Boston Red Sox have placed Mike Lowell on the 15-day disabled list and purchased the contract of Jed Lowrie from Pawtucket.

Lowrie will be at Fenway at game time tonight and will be wearing #12. He will not start.

The Red Sox will likely go with Kevin Youkilis at third base and Sean Casey at first for the most part, Lowrie and Alex Cora would be the reserves for third base. Cora's availability may be in question however as he was being examined by team doctors after feeling a twinge during warm ups this afternoon.

Should Cora head to the disabled list as well, that would likely open the door for Brandon Moss or Chris Carter, both of whom play some first base.
