Lowry Set For Surgery, Likely Done With Giants
Oct 17, 2014 10:34 AM
Noah Lowry is scheduled to undergo surgery to remove the first rib on his left side on Tuesday. Recovery time is estimated at three months, leaving little hope he will pitch this season.
Specialists recently diagnosed Lowry with thoracic outlet syndrome, wherein nerves and/or blood vessels are compressed as they pass between the neck and shoulder.
Assuming Lowry does not return this season, he likely will not pitch for the Giants again. The club almost certainly will decline a $6.25 million option on Lowry for 2010, making him a free agent.
