Lowe update

Geoff Baker's blog has a brief note on Mark Lowe's surgery. (You have to scroll down a bit)

Lowe throwing "at least" a month away

Forget about seeing Mark Lowe start throwing before the end of spring training. Manager Mike Hargrove said this afternoon that Lowe, who returns to camp from Los Angeles today, will need "at least'' one month to recover enough from the surgery he had on Tuesday. "Notice I said at least a month,'' Hargrove said. "It could be longer."

Other than that, the surgery went well and the scar tissue plaguing Lowe's elbow was removed. The Mariners now expect him to be out until the all-star break -- that's mid-July -- or longer.
