Still awaiting word on Mark Lowe's status. The team will have official word Tuesday morning but Lowe told me he fully expects to be cleared to start soft throwing.
For the bwhole story on that, there is the M's Notebook from yesterday:
Mariners reliever Mark Lowe has a big meeting scheduled for today with Dr. Lew Yocum, the physician who performed arthroscopic surgery to help regenerate the cartilage in his right elbow last October. Lowe has been resting the arm since and hopes to be cleared to begin his rehabilitation.
"If he clears me, then we'll take it from there," Lowe said. "It depends on how I feel. It could be May, June, July."
Lowe went 1-0 with a 1.93 earned-run average in 15 outings for the Mariners in July and August after beginning the season in Class A. But instead of finishing the season on a high, he wound up on the disabled list, and the routine surgery he later underwent turned up a problem that required much more recovery time.
"It was tough," he said. "It was a real emotional change for me. I've just been trying to stay positive through the whole thing."
