Lowry Has Forearm Troubles

Never a good thing for a frontline fantasy starter, Noah Lowry only made it through 3 innings pitched last night before his forearm tightened up. He is questionable for his next start.

I would be very surprised if the Giants allowed Lowry to head right out there for his next start. Forearm tightness is often a sign that the ligaments in the throwing elbow are beginning to weaken a bit. Many a pitcher has gone down with "forearm tightness" only to find that the ligaments were damaged and needed Tommy John Surgery. I'm not saying this is the case with Lowry, but this is a time when it is better to be cautious than it is to just throw the kid right back out there.
