Noah Lowry is hoping to return to the mound for the Giants by mid-April, according to the Associated Press.

Lowry had a minor procedure on his foreman last week and is expected to begin playing catch next week.

"When I'm back throwing again I'll have a better understanding," Lowry said. "I just pray to God this has taken care of the problem I've had."
