Because of injury situations around the majors, the Mike Lowell trade talks are heating up again, according to FoxSports.com. The Twins and Rangers reportedly have spoken to the Red Sox about Lowell, with the Angels also believed to have interest in the infielder.
Lowell has had trouble earning playing time with third baseman Adrian Beltre, first baseman Kevin Youkilis and DH David Ortiz all hitting well lately. Lowell, though, filled in for Youkilis (back spasms) on Friday and replaced him Saturday after he was hit on the elbow by a pitch.
