Lowell Spinners News Release
LOWELL, MASS. - The Lowell Spinners, Class A Affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, announced today that Red Sox infielder Jed Lowrie will join the Spinners as the team travels to Aberdeen for a three-game series against the Ripken Baseball owned Ironbirds.
Lowrie, a 2005 Lowell Spinner and 2008 Dick Berardino Lowell Spinners Alumni Award Winner, joins the Spinners as he continues his rehab from a bout with mono after playing in Extended Spring Training games over the past several weeks.
As a member of the Spinners in 2005 was a New York-Penn League All-Star, leading the league with a .429 on-base percentage and tied for sixth with a .328 average. Following the season, Lowrie was named the No. 9 prospect in the Red Sox system, according to Baseball America.
Lowrie made his Major League debut in 2008, appearing in 81 regular season games, finishing with a .258 batting average, two home runs and 46 RBI. Lowrie was a post-season hero for the Red Sox as well, delivering a walk-off win in Game 4 of the ALDS, to give the Red Sox a series win over the Angels.
The Spinners kick off a three-game road trip in Aberdeen against the Ironbirds over the Independence Day weekend beginning Sunday, July 4. Lowrie will join the team on his own and should be in the line-up for Monday's 7:05 first pitch.
