Lowell has sprained thumb

Mike Lowell is starting despite a sprained left thumb that has been giving him trouble.

Lowell rolled over on the thumb while trying to make a diving play to his left in a game against the Yankees last Sunday night.

"He's finally found a way to tape it and give it support," said Francona.

Lowell is only 1 for 16 on the trip, dropping his average from .333 to .313.
