From T.R.Sullivan ...
Reliever Mark Lowe’s availability for the remainder of the season and possibly post-season is in doubt after he injured his left hamstring before Wednesday’s game with the Athletics.
The Rangers do not know the extent of the injury. But Lowe is being sent back to Dallas to be examined by Dr. Keith Meister. He injured it working out with other relievers before the game.
“We just won’t know how bad it is until he’s examined,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said.
Lowe is 2-3 with a 3.80 ERA in 52 games and was almost assuredly going to be on the post-season roster. Now the Rangers have to wait and see if he will be ready.
Lowe injures hamstring; status in doubt Postcards From Elysian Fields
Well now we can speculate as to who Lowe's injury replacement will be from a list of TEX properties who weren't already on the roster. Lowe going down pretty much assures that Ogando goes to the bullpen for the playoffs ... but wonder who TEX adds to the post season roster eligibilty to replace him. It is supposed to be someone who plays the same position ... but MLB rarely turns down a teams' request for a player from another position being an injury replacement.
My bet ... Leonys Martin. Whoever is Lowe's replacement will not be named until named to a specific post season roster ... but we can start speculating now.
