Josh Lowe Faces Live Pitching in Intrasquad Game

Lowe reached a major milestone in his recovery from a sore left oblique Wednesday, facing live pitching for the first time since Feb. 25. He logged approximately eight plate appearances and ran the bases during an intrasquad game. The Angels plan to have him participate in minor-league games on the back fields before returning to the Cactus League lineup. Barring any further setbacks, he remains on track to be ready for Opening Day.
