Player Notes
May 20, 2009
The Giants are denying the accusation that they misdiagnosed Noah Lowry and led him to have unnecessary surgery last year, according to the Mercury News. Lowry's agent claims that the Giants advised the wrong surgery and also the wrong rehab, but the team states that the agent's statement is "factually inaccurate, intentionally misleading and irresponsible."

Our View:Lowry underwent another surgery Tuesday to remove the first rib on his left side, and his agent (Damon Lapa) believes the procedure will allow his client to pitch another 10 seasons in the majors. Lowry is likely done with the Giants however, and the team is expected to decline his $6.25MM option for 2010 and decline to tender him a contract as an arbitration-eligible player.

Noah Lowry will undergo surgery this week to remove a rib from his left side, according to MLB.com.

Our View:Lowry has not pitched since 2007 while rehabbing from shoulder surgery, and it looks like he won't be coming back in 2009.
March 19, 2009
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Noah Lowry's shoulder has been deemed just fine by Dr. James Andrews. His shoulder cost him all of last season and has been affecting this spring. He still plans to start the season on the DL.

Our View:The shoulder injury caused him to alter his mechanics which led to elbow discomfort. However, it appears that rest is all he needs at the moment and he should be healthy enough to pitch before May. Lowry is not a strikeout pitcher, but he limits his mistakes enough to be an effective starter for the Giants when healthy.

Noah Lowry has been experiencing pain and discomfort in his pitching elbow of late and is not expected to be at full health by the start of the season, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our View:Lowry will be shut down for at least the next few days, and this does not come as good news to someone that hasn't pitched since August of 2007 and has a history of chronic injuries throughout his young career. Lowry was expected to give Jonathan Sanchez a run for the final spot in the Giants' rotation, though it now appears Lowry will not be a contender, at least for the first portion of the year.

Noah Lowry threw off a mound Thursday for the first time in over a week, and he noted improvement in the back of his left shoulder, according to the SF Chronicle. Lowry is not sure when he will throw again and he said, "We are not going to push the timeline. We want to make sure I am healthy for a whole year and to do this the right way so there are no setbacks like the one we just had."

Our View:Lowry is competing with Jonathan Sanchez for the fifth spot in the Giants' rotation and cannot afford to miss much time in camp.
