Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Red Sox shortstop Jed Lowrie will officially
come off the disabled list Monday, Boston manager Terry Francona announced
Sunday.

Lowrie has been on the DL since June 17 with a shoulder injury that also
involved a bruised nerve. He recently completed a five-game rehab stint with
Triple-A Pawtucket during which he went 7-for-17 with four doubles and five
RBI.

Those numbers gave Francona and the Red Sox the confidence that Lowrie was
able to return to the big leagues.

"I feel good," said Lowrie. "I accomplished everything I wanted to. ... Just
playing the whole game, making sure the legs feel good, seeing the ball well.
I think I accomplished that."

"He's fine," Francona said. "He swung the bat real well last night. He's
coming back tonight, kind of a work day. He'll go with us to Minnesota and
obviously we'll have a corresponding move maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow."

Francona said that Lowrie would share the shortstop duties with current
starter Marco Scutaro as some occasional rest will help both players --
Lowrie as he regains playing shape and especially Scutaro, who has missed
only one game since Lowrie went on the DL.

"[Scutaro's] held up," the Sox skipper said. "I think some rest will do him
some good, and I know he doesn't like to hear that because he likes to play
every day. But I think it'll do him some good when he's not."

Francona suggested, however, that Lowrie's playing time will need to be
managed, at least initially, in order to ensure that he does not suffer a
setback. For now, Lowrie would appear likely to split playing time with
Scutaro as he rebuilds his stamina.

"He's not ready to play every day," said Francona. "But he doesn't have to."

Lowrie was mired in an 0-for-15 slump when he was injured and is hitting .270
with three homers and 25 RBI in 55 games this season.
