Red Sox outfielder Ryan Westmoreland is set to continue his rehab with the Lowell Spinners and Greenville Drive in the coming weeks, according to Sox farm director Mike Hazen. The 20-year-old, who underwent surgery to repair a cavernous malformation of the brain stem in March, has been able to increase his baseball activities as his rehab has progressed, to the point where he has been running, throwing and taking some swings. Now, he is set to undertake those activities with Lowell (Aug. 31-Sept. 2) and Greenville (Sept. 3-6) before the end of the minor-leagues season, while also returning to the familiar team setting, which will include watching games from the dugout.
