Mike Lowell : October 6th, 2008, 7:40 pm est
The Red Sox have removed Mike Lowell (hip) from the ALDS roster and replaced him with Gil Velazquez. So, Lowell was healthy enough to start and be a significant liability in last night's loss and now he's unhealthy enough to be removed from the roster in favor of a guy who has no real business being in the majors and who wasn't even called up until Sept. 25. If the Red Sox end up losing the ALDS, the decision to play Lowell in Game 3 will be one they regret for a long time. Lowell will now be ineligible to play until the World Series.Source: Providence Journal
