But Lowell was not on the lineup card.
Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy were puzzled, speculating over where Lowell fits on the team.
“I was quite surprised, I thought with the left-hander pitching [Tuesday], and Ortiz — the fact that he’s 0-for-17, hasn’t had a hit on this road trip — that maybe he’d start Mike Lowell,” Remy said. “Mike Lowell hasn’t even been given the chance to pinch-hit recently. I don’t know what’s going on with Mike Lowell — I don’t know if there’s any interest out there — but he is not a factor on this ball club.”
“I can’t imagine what his timing is like at this point after being off for so long,” Orsillo added.
