Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe continued his strong July at the plate in Monday's 5-1 win over the Yankees. Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a strikeout. The first-inning blast was his 14th of the season. While his season numbers are still unimpressive, the 29-year-old has batted .284 with five HR, 13 RBI, and two stolen bases in July. Lowe's power potential is elite, so he could provide a boost for fantasy managers down the stretch if he can continue to turn things around.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe had a solid night at the plate in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Marlins. Lowe went 3-for-4 with two singles, a solo home run, and a strikeout. The 29-year-old's 2022 struggles have continued in 2023 as he has slashed .214/.311/.415 with 11 HR, 34 RBI, and four stolen bases. Fantasy managers are aware of his elite power potential, and while he has hit the ball hard this season, he will not provide much fantasy value unless he can hit the ball out of the park more frequently.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder/first baseman Luke Raley and second baseman Brandon Lowe are absent from Thursday's lineup versus southpaw Cristopher Sanchez and the Philadelphia Phillies. It looks to be a matchup-based absence for the two lefty-hitters who possess inferior platoon splits against left-handed pitching. Manuel Margot will watch right field and bat sixth while Taylor Walls covers the keystone and hits ninth in this one. Expect Raley and Lowe to be busy during an upcoming three-game weekend set with the Atlanta Braves while slated to oppose three right-handed pitchers.

The Tampa Bay Rays reinstated second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, and he's starting at second base and batting sixth in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much from Lowe initially at the plate after he missed the past month with a herniated disc in his back. It's an issue that the 28-year-old left-handed slugger could be dealing with for the rest of the season. If five minor-league rehab games, he went 4-for-17 (.235) with one RBI and two doubles. Lowe does have nine home runs in 176 at-bats for the Rays this year, but he's hitting a lowly .205 (36-for-176) with three stolen bases in 50 games.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) went 1-for-3 with a strikeout as the designated hitter for the Rookie-level Florida Complex League Rays in a minor-league rehab game on Monday. He's already moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A Durham and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts while playing second base on Wednesday. Lowe is scheduled to play Thursday, take Friday off, and then play Saturday and Sunday before being re-evaluated. The earliest the left-handed slugger could return from the 10-day injured list would be next Tuesday against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies. The 28-year-old has been on the IL since June 5 with lower-back inflammation, but he's nearing a return.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) was put on the 10-day injured list on June 5 with a stiff back, but he's dealing with a different back injury than the one that sidelined him for much of 2022. He resumed baseball activities on June 20 and felt "great" before getting some at-bats in a live batting practice session on June 23. Lowe could begin a minor-league rehab assignment this week in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League before progressing to Triple-A Durham for some at-bats. Barring a setback, the 28-year-old could return to the team during their final homestand before the All-Star break. Lowe does have nine home runs in 50 games this year, but he's hitting a disappointing .205 (36-for-176) and continues to have trouble staying on the field.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) resumed baseball activities on Tuesday, participating in some pregame work. Afterwards, the 28-year-old told reporters he was feeling "great." Lowe hasn't been in a game since June 3 after experiencing back stiffness and hitting the injured list. The one-time All-Star hopes to be back before the All-Star break, but there is no set timetable for his return right now. Before the injury, Lowe was enduring a bit of a tough season at the dish, slashing .205/.299/.398 with nine bombs, 26 runs, 29 RBI, and three stolen bases across 50 games. His power is valuable in every format, so hopefully, he can return sooner rather than later.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) is scheduled to resume baseball activities on Friday. He was shut down from baseball activities for 2-3 weeks earlier this month. Lowe continues to deal with lingering back pain that has hindered him over the last two seasons. The organization hasn't given a timetable on Lowe's return to the field. The assumption is that he'll return in early July, assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. The organization announced on Wednesday that Lowe has been shut down from baseball activities for 2-3 weeks. It sounds like the Rays are going to give Lowe plenty of time to recover from his disc issue in his back. The organization hasn't given a timetable for Lowe, but the expectation is that he'll likely be out until closer to the All-Star break.

The Tampa Bay Rays placed second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) on the 10-day injured list on Monday with lower-back inflammation and recalled infielder/outfielder Vidal Brujan from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move. Lowe will head to the injured list after missing Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The 28-year-old's injury isn't considered very serious, so there's a chance he'll be able to return after the 10 days. Although Lowe has nine home runs and 29 RBI in 176 at-bats this year, he's only hitting .199 (35-for-176) with 24 walks and 63 strikeouts. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues shouldn't feel compelled to hold onto him if they have other needs. Brujan is getting the start at the keystone on Monday and is hitting eighth against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (leg) is hampered by left leg discomfort, which caused his removal from the lineup card right before Sunday's matinee with the Boston Red Sox. The 28-year-old is considered day-to-day, so hopefully he can get back on the field relatively soon. Lowe may not require a stay on the injured list. Since a roaring start to the year, the former All-Star has plummeted by hitting .157 (16-for-102) with two homers and 11 RBI over his last 28 games. Keep an eye on his status ahead of Monday's series finale with the BoSox.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe hit his ninth homer of the season in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Chicago Cubs. Lowe tallied just one hit on Wednesday through four plate appearances and struck out two times. The second baseman has been slumping all at the plate after missing the bulk of the 2022 season due to a plethora of injuries. Lowe has already suffered two injuries to begin the season, and the Rays are hoping that he can stay healthy for the bulk of the season. Lowe is slashing .204/.298/.407 with a .705 OPS and 29 RBI. He has a 30.5% strikeout rate with a 97 wRC+ and a .305 wOBA.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lowe will be taking a seat against left-handed starter Clayton Kershaw. Taylor Walls is starting at second base and Harold Ramirez is handling designated hitter duties. Lowe is slashing a lackluster .203/.297/.405 to go along with eight home runs, 26 RBI, and two stolen bases over 153 at-bats.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (neck) said his stiff neck is "100 times better," and he expects to be available off the bench on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. It's highly unlikely he'll start against left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. Lowe expects to be back in the starting lineup on Thursday for the series finale against Toronto. The 28-year-old was scratched from Tuesday's lineup, but it's obviously not a very serious injury and he should be just fine. The left-handed hitter has left the yard eight times and has driven in 24 runs in 145 at-bats so far this year, but he's hitting just .200 (29-for-145) with a .299 on-base percentage and 48:21 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that second baseman Brandon Lowe (neck) was scheduled to be in Tuesday's starting lineup against the Toronto Blue Jays, but he was scratched after waking up with a stiff neck. Lowe could be available off the bench, but the Rays would prefer to stay away from him. Fantasy managers will want to make sure they move Lowe to their bench Tuesday. In his place, Taylor Walls will get the nod at the keystone and will hit sixth against Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios. The 28-year-old Lowe can be considered day-to-day for now. He's right at the Mendoza Line (.200) this year with five doubles, a triple, eight home runs, 24 RBI, two stolen bases and 24 runs scored in 42 games played.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe went 0-for-4 in the team's easy win over the New York Yankees on Thursday. He extended his hitless skid to an 0-for-19 drought and Lowe has just one knock over 27 at-bats in May. The 28-year-old has cooled off dramatically after a roaring start to the year that saw him launch six long balls over his first 17 games. Lowe has only one big fly over his last 16 games, crashing down to a frigid 2-for-39 stretch since April 28. The nosedive cues an opportune juncture to buy low on the former all-star in fantasy, as the righty masher's barrel rate of 18.3% ranks among the best in baseball despite the recent tailspin. Lowe represents a priority trade target in punt-average fantasy builds.

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight day on Friday against the New York Yankees with a slight back issue. It's a different injury than what sidelined him last year, and he plans to go through a full workout on Friday and should be available off the bench. It sounds like the 28-year-old's injury isn't very serious, so consider him day-to-day for now. Hopefully, he'll be able to return on Saturday. Lowe does have seven home runs and 20 RBI in 27 games so far this year, but he's also hitting only .223 (21-for-94) with 33 strikeouts. Taylor Walls will man the keystone and hit seventh against Yankees right-hander Jhony Brito on Friday.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe provided the heroics for the Rays on Friday night in the 8-7 win over the Chicago White Sox when he hit a two-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to send the fans home happy. He finished the night 1-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored, a walk and two strikeouts. It's been nice to see the 28-year-old left-handed hitter show some pop early on in 2023. Through 17 games played and 66 plate appearances, he's gong 16-for-55 (.291) with a double, six home runs, 15 RBI, a stolen base and 17 runs scored for the streaking Rays. Injuries have plagued Lowe in recent years, but he's healthy now and appears to be locked in at the plate.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe is not starting on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 28-year-old will take a seat against left-handed hurler Yusei Kikuchi as the Rays look to start another winning streak. Lowe is off to a hot start, along with most players on Tampa Bay, slashing .324/.444/.757 with five home runs, 12 RBI, and a stolen base. Taylor Walls is starting at second and batting sixth in his place.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe continued his scorching hot stretch on Thursday, going 2-for-4 with his fifth homer of the season in a 9-3 win over the Boston Red Sox. He added two runs and two RBI to round out the performance. Lowe has now homered in five straight starts, although that streak includes a pinch-hit appearance in Wednesday's game where he didn't go yard. Lowe has been a big part of Tampa Bay's record 13-game undefeated streak, and he should continue to hit for big power as long as he stays healthy.
