Giants left-hander Noah Lowry pitched three innings in a simulated game against teammates Tuesday and had no problems.

The left-hander, on the disabled list with a strained right oblique muscle, is scheduled to throw for Class A San Jose on Friday at San Jose Municipal Stadium to further test his side.

"We hope he gets two rehab starts -- San Jose and then at [Triple-A] Fresno," said manager Felipe Alou.
