SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — San Francisco Giants pitcher Noah Lowry will have surgery on his left forearm today and is probably out until the end of April.
Lowry was the Giants’ top winner with a 14-8 record last season.
The left-hander had trouble throwing strikes this spring, and the team sent him back to the Bay Area to be examined by a hand specialist.
The Giants said Thursday that Lowry was diagnosed with exertional compartment syndrome. According to , it is “an exercise-induced neuromuscular condition that causes pain, swelling and sometimes even disability in affected muscles of the legs or arms” and seems to affect primarily athletes in their 20s.
