Could Lowell Help Angels?
Morales fractured his left ankle while leaping onto home plate to celebrate a walkoff grand slam against the Mariners on Saturday. He is expected to be out until at least September. Lowell, who has played sparingly recently, could be just what the Angels seek, particularly if the Red Sox pick up at least three quarters of his $12 million salary, as they were prepared to do when trying to trade Lowell to Texas last winter.

"There's never a good fracture for a professional athlete, but this is probably one of the better ones to have if you had to have one," team orthopedist Lewis Yocum said. "We're hopeful that he'll get back this season." The Angels held a team meeting Sunday morning in which manager Mike Scioscia laid down new parameters for celebrating game-winning home runs.

The Angels defeated the Mariners 5-1 after Morales clubbed a game-winning home run in the bottom of the tenth inning. Morales landed awkwardly when he jumped on home plate and twisted his left ankle. "It'll change the way we celebrate," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said before the extent of Morales' injury was known. "It sure was exciting, but you always wonder if it's an accident waiting to happen. This is definitely unfortunate. We've just got to wait and see what we're dealing with. We'll know more information as the night moves on." Morales lay on the ground for at least 10 minutes and waved his arms to the cheering fans as he was driven away.
