Derek Lowe?

Sounds like Derek is ready to make his next start Saturday 8/4 vs. ARI. From the AP games notes of 8/2::

LOS ANGELES: RHP Derek Lowe threw a 65-pitch bullpen session Wednesday and said he experienced no pain. He said he was tentative through the first 30 pitches before stretching out toward the end. "It's been a long six days of sitting around waiting to pitch and seeing if it's going to hurt," he said. "I don't have any type of discomfort. I'm on track to pitch Saturday." Lowe said he needs to be better about doing stretching exercises between starts because he frequently has stiffness in his hip area. He left last week's game at Colorado because of an irritated hip.

Anymore legit updates on this guy

I saw in the LA Times that barring a setback, he'll go on Thursday against Aaron Harang and Cincinnati.

just found this on his player notes...

Aug 7 Ken Gurnick, of MLB.com, reports Los Angeles Dodgers SP Derek Lowe (hip) will be given an extra two days of rest and his next start will be Saturday, Aug. 11. Lowe will also throw a bullpen session Thursday, Aug. 9.

Well there is a setback:

Aug 9
The Los Angeles Times' Kevin Baxter reports Los Angeles Dodgers SP Derek Lowe (hip) experienced more trouble with his sore left hip during a bullpen session Wednesday, Aug. 8. While the Dodgers say Lowe is still on schedule to start Aug. 11 against the St. Louis Cardinals, pitching coach Rick Honeycutt said Lowe probably will be on a short leash.

I stay away from him this week.
I think they should skip his turn on Saturday and pitch him on his next scheduled start on the 16th vs. Houston
