(Pablo Martinez Monsivais/Associated Press) Canadian pitcher Adam Loewen is close to returning to the Baltimore Orioles after an elbow injury but, when he does, he's expected to come out of the bullpen for the rest of the season. (article 1)
The left-hander from Surrey, B.C., injured his left elbow in late-April and was placed on the 15-day disabled list. (article 1)
The injury was similar to the one that caused him to miss the most of the 2007 season. (article 1)
Loewen is expected to pitch both out of the bullpen and as a starter for 15 innings in minor league rehabilitation stint. (article 1)
If things go well there, he's expected to rejoin the team in July where he 'll begin as a reliever. (article 1)
Orioles manager Dave Trembley feels the move will allow the coaching staff to monitor Loewen's pitch count more carefully and said that the decision was based on physical issues. (article 1)
I think he feels comfortable with it because there will be shorter periods that he has to pitch. (article 1)
In four starts this year, he's posted a record of 0-1 with 15 walks, 12 strikeouts and a 7.85 ERA. (article 1)
