Interest in Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell continues to grow as the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaches.

The Tigers are interested in Lowell, according to a source.

Detroit placed third baseman Brandon Inge on the disabled list with a fractured left hand on July 20.

"Tigers are interested," the source said. "Not sure how serious the interest since Inge's injury is not as severe as they thought."
