Lowell revealed on Saturday that he has been playing with the injury since an Aug. 20 collision with Toronto's John McDonald.

Lowell thought he had a bruised rib at first. When the injury did not heal quickly, he had an X-ray in Tampa last weekend that revealed the hairline fracture of the sixth front rib. Lowell had an MRI and CT scan Friday to make sure the injury wasn't anything serious. "As long as I can deal with it, I'm medically cleared to play," he said. "It's fine with me.

He took a picture of himself and he called himself a moron, which I agree with," Francona said jokingly. "[His wife] Kelli called me when he got out of a surgery, which I appreciated and then he called me a little bit later. He sounded good."
