Clement still out; Lowell hurt?

Boston Red Sox 3B Mike Lowell was removed from the game last night in the ninth inning, but X-Rays were negative. He will be reexamined, but it seems likely he'll miss today's start against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, a team that has played well against the Red Sox in recent years. With Lowell out, Kevin Youkilis may well return to his old spot at third.
On another note, injured starter Matt Clement is unlikely to return this year. The question on everyone's minds at this point has to be whether he will ever restart his stalled career; he has not pitched for Boston since June 14, and missed much of last year with injury, as well.
