Jed Lowrie's return to Pawtucket? 2/3, HR, 2 BB, 2 RBI
Speaking of Pawtucket, a minor "position battle" to note: September's PR and "Being"-caddy in LF. Jonathan Van Every? or Sean Danielson?
Make sure to send the good vibes out to Tito. His mother-in-law passed away Monday night. (via Extra Bases) ...
