Help On The Way?

Doug Mirabelli should be back mid-week after an aggressive treatment schedule kept his sprained ankle from getting more serious. Mike Lowell should be back in the lineup the next time the Sox take the field with the medical staff working overtime on his left foot. Even Keith Foulke is getting some good news, throwing well in Pawtucket. His next test will be back-to-back games and, if he passes without problem, he’ll be in the Red Sox bullpen for their weekend series at Fenway.
"I may throw six straight forkballs and see what they do, or three straight curveballs, whatever. Hopefully this doesn't go on my bubblegum card, but I want to get stretched out, because when I go back I want to have the ability to give him two or three innings if he needs me."
