Baltimore Orioles starter Adam Loewen will be sidelined for most of the season with a stress fracture in his pitching elbow. The lefty was placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday after an MRI and bone scan determined the injury.
Loewen won't begin a throwing program for at least eight weeks and could potentially face surgery, but the club wants to take some time before deciding on a course of action. He was 2-0 with a 3.56 ERA in six starts this season.
