http://tinyurl.com/or687o By Ian Browne / MLB.com BOSTON -- Perhaps lost amid the shuffle during a wild Thursday night at Fenway Park was the resurgence of Julio Lugo. Though the shortstop had been activated from the disabled list on April 27, it took a while for Lugo to make an impact. Considering he was coming off right knee surgery, that shouldn't have been a surprise. In Boston's 13-3 thrashing of the Indians on Thursday, Lugo was in the middle of everything, scoring three times, getting three hits and ripping a double from the leadoff spot. Though Jacoby Ellsbury is likely to be back at the top of Boston's lineup on Friday, Lugo could be a big boost to the lower portion of the lineup if he can keep taking good swings. Did Lugo rush back because the team's other shortstop -- Jed Lowrie -- was also on the disabled list? "I came in and tried to do my best," Lugo said. "It doesn't matter who is hurt or who's not. You want to come back and play as soon as possible. You take your time and try to be 100 percent, and that's what we're doing right now." Before reentering the lineup on Thursday, Lugo had received three successive days off from manager Terry Francona. "I'm just getting ready, day by day," Lugo said. "I come and work out, practice at the same time and try to be ready for my time." "He looks like he has spent time working hard," Francona said. "He looks stronger and it's early, but he has taken some pretty aggressive swings." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.160.68.140
