Lowell and Green hoping to come back soon

Mike Lowell who had a 2nd injection for his hip on Monday will be ready to come back to the line up on Thursday. Lowell is scheduled to take batting practice outside on Wednesday. Nick Green, who has been side lined with what he called a "dead" leg, has been fatiguing very quickly in his workouts though he has improved from when he first injured the leg. Green is shooting for a return this Friday.
