-- Shortstop Julio Lugo, sidelined since July 12 because of a strained quadriceps, has been able to do more baseball activities lately, including running. He'll be accompanying the Red Sox on their trip to Baltimore, Toronto and New York that begins Tuesday. -- Third baseman Mike Lowell is a little less tender because of a strained oblique. Lowell, who is on the disabled list, won't go with the Sox for the beginning of their trip because he still isn't able to perform baseball activiities. He'll be re-examined in about a week. He could be well enough at that point to rejoin the team and begin hitting and fielding, but if not, manager Terry Francona seemed to think Lowell would be healthy enough to the team in New York on Aug. 26. -- Tim Wakefield (shoulder stiffness) will play catch Saturday. If that goes as well as planned, Francona said he and pitching coach John Farrell would sit down with Wakefield to determine a "target date" for his return to the mound for Boston. -- Steven Krasner
