The Associated Press reports Baltimore Orioles RP Adam Loewen (elbow) has abandoned his pitching career after deciding not to undergo surgery on the stress fracture in his left elbow. If he underwent surgery, Loewen would have been out for at least 18 months with no guarantee of being pain-free. Loewen will now try to return to the major leagues as an outfielder. "The good news is that we have a player that is very much a hitting prospect as well. And he has assured me he can still hit and wants to hit. So, the club is prepared to embark on that path with him. Once the season is over, we will start career No. 2 for Adam Loewen," said team president Andy MacPhail. |

Orioles left-hander Adam Loewen has abandoned his career as a pitcher because of a stress fracture in his left elbow, the same injury that sidelined him last season and twice put him on the disabled list this year. Advice: Loewen, 24, intends to return to the majors as an outfielder. Had Loewen opted for a second operation on his elbow, it would have taken him at least 18 months to return. And there was no guarantee he would be pain-free or would not re-injure himself. |
