Injury worries Lugo <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Julio Lugo limped out of the back room in the Red Sox clubhouse long after most of his teammates had left. Under his jeans, his left quadriceps was wrapped tightly, the swelling and the pain intensifying. There was no question regarding the agony in his expression. "I'm real worried," Lugo said. "Because I know it wasn't something that just pulled, when you pull a muscle. I felt something that popped, and that's what worries me." The injury occurred as Lugo ran to first base on an infield single in the ninth inning of the 7-3 loss to the Orioles last night. Then he stumbled over the bag to the ground and was helped off the field, replaced by Alex Cora. It looked bad when it happened, and about an hour later, it almost looked worse. "I think he did it pretty good," manager Terry Francona said. "We'll get him looked at, but I think there's a chance that he didn't just strain this." Added first base coach Luis Alicea, closest to Lugo when he was hurt, "I just heard him scream. I knew something happened right away. He was grabbing his quad." Lugo is scheduled for an MRI today.</div>
^ Will be interesting to see if Theo does anything with all the injuries. Might see Crisp being traded.
Injuries suck, but now at least we'll see Lowrie (unless Francona's stupid) get some meaningful playing time at short and get him ready for next year.
