LOWELL, MASS. - The Lowell Spinners, Class A affiliate of the World Series Champion Boston Red Sox, announced Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino will join the team on a Major League rehab assignment Monday, June 23.
Victorino, who has been on the disabled list since May 24 with a strained right hamstring, took batting practice with the team Sunday and will return to join the line-up for Monday night's game against the Connecticut Tigers.
"We are thrilled to welcome a star of Shane's quality to Lowell," said Spinners President and General Manager Tim Bawmann.
