Any timetable set for Lowry?

[Zito is God]

I've been searching and couldn't find it, any timetable for Lowry's return set yet? Any new news after the whole long toss thing? Thanks.

Lowry getting ready: Giants starter Noah Lowry, who has been on the disabled list since April 7 with a right oblique strain, will likely make his first rehab start Friday, possibly in San Jose.

Lowry threw 70 pitches in a long bullpen session Saturday and will pitch in a simulated game today, which will likely entail another 60 to 70 pitches.

Lowry said he felt no discomfort and said he's ready to move forward.

"There was no tightness. I don't feel anything at all,'' Lowry said. "That's a big positive."

I swiped this from the injuries forum. olsonea posted it.

the only stuff that I found...

Lowry threw a 100-pitch, full-intensity bullpen session Saturday and next will test his strained oblique muscle in a simulated game, to be followed by a minor-league rehab assignment. There is no timetable for his return.

Left-hander Noah Lowry is scheduled to throw a simulated game today in which he is expected to make 60-70 pitches. If it goes well, Lowry could make a rehabilitation start Friday, possibly with Class A San Jose.

Lowry strained a right oblique muscle in his first start of the season.

``The key for him is to increase intensity,'' trainer Stan Conte said. ``We know this particular injury has to do with intensity of throwing.''

Conte said Lowry needs ``at least one, maybe two'' rehabilitation starts.

Lowry said he felt ``no tightness or soreness'' after a 70-pitch bullpen session Saturday.
