| Oct 1 2021 | Lowe went 3-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs scored and a walk in Friday's 9-6 loss to Cleveland. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe singled and scored in the second inning and later added a solo shot in the sixth. Over the last seven games, the lefty slugger has gone 9-for-26 (.346) with three homers and seven runs scored. Lowe is slashing .264/.358/.417 with 45 extra-base hits and 72 RBI this season. |
|
| Sep 25 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo homer in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Orioles. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe made it back-to-back nights with a homer when he took Dillon Tate on a ride out of Camden Yards in the ninth inning. After two middling seasons in Tampa Bay, Lowe broke out this year with the Rangers, knocking in 71 runs (and counting) and playing in nearly every game. Given that he just turned 26 in the middle of the season, the first baseman's career looks like it's on the upswing. |
|
| Sep 24 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Friday's 8-5 win over Baltimore. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman opened the scoring with a first-inning blast, his 16th homer of the year and his second through 21 September games. Lowe has maintained a decent .262/.356/.408 slash line through 609 plate appearances this year. He's added 70 RBI, 68 runs scored, seven stolen bases and 23 doubles in a near-everyday role in his first season with the Rangers. |
|
| Sep 21 2021 | Lowe is not starting Tuesday against the Yankees. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe has enjoyed a solid month of September in which he's gone 16-for-60 (five XBH) with 13 walks, 11 runs scored and seven RBI. He'll get his first day off since Aug. 28 as Andy Ibanez shifts to first base Tuesday. |
|
| Sep 15 2021 | Lowe went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe got the scoring started for the Rangers by taking Zack Greinke deep in the first inning for a two-run blast. The 25-year-old would also draw a pair of walks and scored an additional time. The long ball was Lowe's first in September and just his third since he hit two July 1. He's done well in his first year as a starter, slashing .262/.355/.409 with 40 extra-base hits, 67 RBI, 65 runs scored, seven steals and a 71:148 BB:K over 572 plate appearances. |
|
| Sep 8 2021 | Lowe went 3-for-5 with a triple, a double, one RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 8-5 win over Arizona. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman tied the game at 2-2 with his RBI triple in the fourth inning, and he ended up a home run shy of the cycle. Lowe has been productive in his last 18 games, going 24-for-70 (.343) with two homers, eight RBI, 15 runs scored and six doubles in that span. He's slashing .261/.350/.405 across 552 plate appearances this year, his first as an everyday player. |
|

The first baseman is raking of late, forging a .386/.404/.636 slash line over the last 11 games. |
|
| Aug 28 2021 | Lowe will be on the bench Saturday against the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Even with an impressive five-hit performance Tuesday against Cleveland, Lowe is still hitting a poor .259/.300/.376 for the month of August. Andy Ibanez starts at first base in his absence. |
|
| Aug 24 2021 | Lowe went 5-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double and two runs scored Tuesday against Cleveland. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The performance marked the third time that Lowe has collected three or more hits in a game this season. The highlight came in the first inning, when he delivered his 13th home run of the campaign. Lowe had been on a tremendous power drought, as he had not homered in his last 40 games -- dating back to July 1. In that same span, he had collected only eight extra-base hits. For the season, Lowe is hitting .258/.351/.397 with 48 RBI and 52 runs scored across 496 plate appearances. |
|
| Aug 20 2021 | Lowe will sit Friday against the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe finds himself on the bench for the second time in three days. Both occasions have come against lefties like Friday's starter Chris Sale, though Lowe had previously been in the lineup against three straight southpaws. Andy Ibanez will be the first baseman on this occasion, with Yonny Hernandez occupying Ibanez's usual spot at second base. |
|
| Aug 18 2021 | Lowe isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe will get a chance to reset after he went 0-for-8 with two strikeouts across the last two games. Charlie Culberson will start at first base and bat sixth. |
|
| Aug 7 2021 | Lowe will sit Saturday against Oakland. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe hasn't done much thus far in the second half, hitting.206/.296/.286 with zero homers in 19 games. Curtis Terry will be the first baseman in his absence, with Adolis Garcia resting his legs in Terry's usual spot as the designated hitter. |
|
| Aug 1 2021 | Lowe went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning win over Seattle. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe singled home Adolis Garcia, who had doubled before him, to extend his RBI streak to four games. During that stretch, he has gone 6-for-15 with five RBI. The first baseman now has a career-high 50 RBI through 102 games. |
|
| Jul 28 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe's ground rule double in the fourth inning knotted the game at two apiece before Joey Gallo hit a monster three-run home run as part of a five-run inning. That was all the scoring for Texas, which snapped a 12-game losing streak. For Lowe, the steal was his fifth of the season, and this was the second time in four games he's knocked in multiple runs. |
|
| Jul 24 2021 | Lowe went 1-for-4 with a triple and two RBI in Friday's 7-3 loss to Houston. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe's fifth-inning triple drove home a pair of runs and were his first RBI in the last 16 games. It was just his second extra-base hit during that span. Lowe is slashing .253/.359/.402 with 12 home runs and 45 RBI through 96 games. |
|
| Jul 22 2021 | Lowe is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe has gone 2-for-18 with eight strikeouts over his last eight games, though he does have nine walks over that stretch. He'll hit the bench Thursday for the second time in four games, with Andy Ibanez taking over at first base. |
|
| Jul 21 2021 | Lowe 1-for-3 with a run scored in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Detroit. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe, who scored the Rangers' first run in 28.1 innings when Andy Ibanez doubled him home in the fifth inning, has just two hits over his last 16 at-bats and hasn't driven in a run over the last 13 games. Lowe's .400 slugging percentage ranks him 19th among first baseman with a minimum number of qualified plate appearances. |
|
| Jul 18 2021 | Lowe is out of the lineup for the second half of Sunday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Andy Ibanez will fill in at first base for Lowe, who gets a breather after going 1-for-2 with a double and a walk in the Rangers' 5-0 loss in the first game of the day. |
|
| Jul 9 2021 | Lowe is not starting Friday against Oakland and lefty Cole Irvin. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe enters Friday on a four game hitting streak, but he'll retreat to the bench with a southpaw on the mound for the Athletics. Andy Ibanez will man first base and bat second. |
|
| Jul 1 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs, three RBI, two runs and a walk in Thursday's win over the Athletics. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe connected for a solo blast off starter Sean Manaea in the fourth inning and added a two-run shot off Deolis Guerra in the seventh, his 11th and 12th round-trippers of the year. Lowe hit just two home runs during the entire month of June, although he was able to maintain some fantasy value with a .365 on-base percentage during that stretch. Lowe is slashing .260/.360/.424 in 336 plate appearances overall this season and has driven in 43 runs. |
|
| Jun 25 2021 | Lowe went 3-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 9-4 win over Kansas City. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman gave Texas its first lead of the game with a two-RBI triple in the fourth inning before coming around to score on Jonah Heim's single. Lowe has hit safely in seven straight games, going 11-for-26 (.423) in that span. The 25-year-old is slashing .259/.357/.411 with 10 home runs, 40 RBI, 35 runs scored and four stolen bases across 314 plate appearances this year. |
|
| Jun 23 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts as Texas defeated Oakland 5-3 Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe knotted the score at three with his seventh inning blast off Yusmeiro Petit and later reached on a infield single the next inning. The homer was Lowe's first since June 12 and the first baseman now has a hit safely in five straight games. |
|
| Jun 22 2021 | Lowe is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Athletics. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe has been a regular presence in Texas' lineup against both righties and left-hander's this season, but he'll yield the first base duties to the recently recalled Andy Ibanez against southpaw Cole Irvin on Tuesday. |
|
| Jun 12 2021 | Lowe went 3-for-5 with a double, two-run home run and three RBI in a 10-1 win over the Dodgers on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe recorded an RBI single in the third, double in the seventh and two-run home run in the ninth for his first three-hit game of the season. It was a nice rebound for Lowe who was only 4-for-39 over his last 13 games prior to Friday. He's now slashing .245/.343/.395. |
|
| Jun 9 2021 | Lowe isn't starting Wednesday against the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe will get a breather after he went 3-for-15 with a run, an RBI and four strikeouts across the last four games. Charlie Culberson will start at first base and bat seventh. |
|
| Jun 3 2021 | Lowe is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe's first time out of the lineup all season will unfortunately come at Coors Field. His .246/.354/.396 season slash line isn't anything special for a first baseman, but his job remains very safe with Ronald Guzman out for the year following knee surgery. Charlie Culberson will get the nod at first base Thursday. |
|
| May 27 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 9-8 loss to the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe's two-run blast, his first homer in 17 games, was part of a five-run uprising in the eighth inning. Earlier, a single extended his hitting streak to five games (8-for-21). His .265/.364/.739 line indicates a competent hitter, although it remains to be seen if the 25-year-old will develop the kind of power associated with a corner infielder at the major-league level. |
|
| May 8 2021 | Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe launched his seventh homer in the third inning, a 451-foot shot to center field, the longest by a Rangers hitter in the short existence of Globe Life Field. He's hit safely in 12 of the last 14 games (17-for-54, .854 OPS) and leads the team with 25 RBI. |
|
| May 4 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Twins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe's not known for his speed, but he's now stolen bases in back-to-back games and is up to four thefts in 2021. He had one steal in the majors prior to this season and four across four minor-league seasons. |
|
| May 2 2021 | Lowe went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Saturday's 8-6 win over Boston. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe delivered a two-out, two-run single in the third inning, upping his RBI total to 24, second in MLB. He's been money with runners in scoring position, batting .462 (12-for-26) in those situations. He is also hitting .395 with two outs in an inning. |
|
| Apr 28 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI on Wednesday against the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe drove in a run in the first inning on an infield hit. That extended his hitting streak to five games, and his knock later in the contest gave him three multi-hit efforts in his last six starts. Lowe has thrived with everyday playing time to this point, hitting .280/.368/.505 with six home runs, 11 runs scored and 22 RBI across 106 plate appearances. |
|
| Apr 26 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run during Monday's loss to the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe got the Rangers on the board with a three-run long ball against Shohei Ohtani in the first inning. He also singled in the eighth. The 25-year-old now leads the Rangers with six home runs and 21 RBI while batting .267/.357/.512. |
|
| Apr 21 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He hit back-to-back jacks with Adolis Garcia in the eighth inning, giving the Rangers a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Lowe has had a solid start in Texas after an offseason trade from Tampa Bay, hitting .254 (18-for-71) through 19 games with five homers and 17 RBI. |
|
| Apr 18 2021 | Lowe went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a walk in Sunday's 1-0 extra-inning win over the Orioles. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe came up to bat with two outs and the bases loaded in the 10th inning, and he delivered a single to score Eli White for the game's lone run. The 25-year-old Lowe is now batting .230 with four homers, 16 RBI, seven runs scored and two stolen bases in 16 contests. |
|
| Apr 14 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Rays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe smacked three home runs in his first five games with the Rangers, though collected just one hit in his next 21 at-bats prior to the Wednesday's game. He snapped that cold spell by crushing a leadoff homer in the second inning for his fourth long ball of the season. Lowe also missed a golden opportunity for more production four frames later by grounding into a double play with the bases loaded and no outs. Through 50 plate appearances this season, Lowe is hitting .239/.300/.522 with four home runs, 15 RBI and six runs scored. However, to maintain that level of production, he'll need to cut back on his 36 percent strikeout rate. |
|
| Apr 7 2021 | Lowe went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe got aboard on a fielder's choice in the eighth inning, and stole second, although he didn't come around to score. The first baseman is off to a productive start in 2021 with three homers, 14 RBI and four runs scored in six games. His steal Wednesday was just the second of his career, and he's yet to record more than one swiped bag per year at any level of professional baseball. Lowe's lack of speed can likely be overlooked by most fantasy managers if he can continue his frequent contributions at the plate. |
|
| Apr 6 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-3 with two home runs, a walk and four RBI in Tuesday's victory over the Blue Jays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe got Texas on the board with a two-run shot in the first inning and slugged another two-run homer in the third. The 25-year-old has gotten off to a fantastic start to the 2021 season, collecting at least one hit and RBI in each of his five contests thus far. Lowe is slashing .381/.409/.857 and leads all of baseball with 14 RBI. |
|
| Apr 4 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe opened the scoring with his third-inning homer. It was his first long ball of the season. The 25-year-old worked as the designated hitter Sunday, but he's also the Rangers' primary first baseman to begin the year. Lowe went 5-for-14 (.357) with a homer, nine RBI and two runs scored in the three-game series against the Royals. He also struck out five times and didn't draw a walk -- plate discipline could be a factor later in the year if he starts to slump. |
|
| Apr 2 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-6 with a double, four RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 14-10 loss to the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe, acquired from Tampa Bay in the offseason to be Texas' starting first baseman, fought off a challenge from Ronald Guzman in spring training. Rangers manager Chris Woodward stood by Lowe, who batted a mere .205 and struck out 15 times in 44 at-bats, and the manager's faith was rewarded Opening Day. Lowe slotted in fifth in the batting order, a potentially good spot for RBI opportunities. |
|
| Mar 27 2021 | Lowe was named the Rangers' starting first baseman Saturday, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe's top competitor, Ronald Guzman, has also made the team, but he isn't expected to play regularly at first base. Lowe could potentially thrive with regular at-bats, something he wasn't able to earn in the past two seasons with the Rays. His .215/.322/.447 slash line through his first 71 big-league games is decent, though his 31.8 percent strikeout rate is high for a player who's only shown modest power. |
|
| Mar 21 2021 | Lowe went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's spring game against Seattle. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe entered Saturday's game batting just .160 this spring, which has opened the door to Ronald Guzman usurping the starting first-base job that was seen as Lowe's to lose when spring training started. Texas manager Chris Woodward still believes in Lowe, telling Kennedi Landry of MLB.com he has confidence in him. "I know he hasn't had a ton of results, but it's just the way this guy works and carries himself. I felt it was kind of a matter of time," Woodward said. "It's nice to see him get some results today." As for Guzman, he launched his third spring home run Friday and has a 1.203 OPS compared to Lowe's .687. |
|
| Mar 8 2021 | Lowe started at first base and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Sunday's spring game against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe is the presumed starter at first base after the Rangers acquired him from Tampa Bay during the offseason, but he's fallen behind Ronald Guzman in terms of spring production. Lowe is 1-for-9 (hitless in last eight ABs) with five strikeouts, while Guzman is 4-for-7 with two home runs, two RBI and two walks. Kennedi Landry of MLB.com has gone as far as projecting Guzman as the Opening Day starter at first base. |
|
| Feb 23 2021 | Texas manager Chris Woodward said it's possible that both Lowe and Ronald Guzman make the Opening Day roster, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: When the Rangers acquired Lowe, it was presumed the organization was moving on from Guzman. However, that was before Guzman earned MVP honors in the Dominican Winter League. Woodward said there's a world where both first basemen can break camp with the Rangers, but that would mean both have a strong spring training. In that event, the Rangers could use Lowe at third base, where he's appeared six times for Tampa Bay and another five times while in the minors. |
|
| Dec 10 2020 | Lowe was traded from the Rays to the Rangers on Thursday in exchange for outfielder Heriberto Hernandez and other prospects, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe spent the final month of the regular season in the majors, slashing .224/.316/.433 with four home runs and 11 RBI over 21 games. However, he was left off the Rays' roster for the entirety of the postseason. The 25-year-old should have the chance to serve as the Rangers' starting first baseman heading into 2021, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports. |
|
| Oct 5 2020 | The Rays removed Lowe from their 28-man roster for their American League Division Series with the Yankees that begins Monday in San Diego, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe still retains a spot in the Rays' 40-man player pool for the postseason, so he could be a candidate to return to the active roster for the ALDS, should Tampa Bay advance past the Yankees. During the Rays' wild-card series win over the Blue Jays, Lowe went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Tampa Bay's Game 1 victory before sitting out Game 2. He'll be replaced on the ALDS roster by Austin Meadows (oblique), who appears to be nearing a return to full health. |
|
| Sep 30 2020 | Lowe is out of the lineup Wednesday for Game 2 of the Rays' wild-card series with the Blue Jays, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After finishing the regular season as the Rays' primary option at first base, Lowe started at the position Tuesday in Game 1, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. With a southpaw (Hyun-Jin Ryu) on the mound for Toronto in Game 2, the lefty-hitting Lowe will cede his spot in the lineup to Mike Brosseau. Lowe won't necessarily be a lock to make regular starts against right-handed pitching during the postseason, however, as the Rays recently welcomed back another challenger for strong-side platoon duties at first base in Ji-Man Choi (hamstring). |
|
| Sep 21 2020 | Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 2-1 win over the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe scored in the second inning on a Manuel Margot sacrifice fly before taking Jacob deGrom deep with a solo blast in the fourth. The lefty slugger bumped his season OPS up to .913 with four homers this season. |
|
| Sep 18 2020 | Lowe went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and two runs during a win over the Orioles in the second game of a doubleheader Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe's fifth-inning hit was a big one, as it snapped a 6-6 tie and ignited a four-run rally for the Rays in the seven-inning contest. The 25-year-old has been seeing regular playing time at first base in the absence of Ji-Man Choi (hamstring) and making good use of it, hitting .409 (9-for-22) with a double, three home runs, nine RBI, four walks, one steal and seven runs over his last seven games. |
|
| Sep 16 2020 | Lowe is starting at first base and batting cleanup Wednesday against the Nationals, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe had hit sixth or seventh in four straight starts, but after hitting .429 with three home runs over that stretch, the Rays will bump him up a couple spots in the lineup. He should continue to hit in a run-producing spot over the rest of the season with Ji-Man Choi (hamstring) likely done for the year. |
|
| Sep 13 2020 | Lowe is starting at first base and batting sixth Sunday with lefty Martin Perez starting for the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Ji-Man Choi (hamstring strain) likely done for the remainder of the regular season, Lowe should function as the primary first baseman going forward. He will likely get spelled by Mike Brosseau at times, but Sunday's lineup is an indication that Lowe won't be limited to a strict strong-side platoon. He hit two homers in Friday's game and had another hit, run and RBI Saturday. |
|
| Sep 11 2020 | Lowe went 3-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI, three runs and one strikeout in Friday's win against the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe had struggled to generate much production over his first 17 plate appearances this year, but he was dominant as the designated hitter Friday. He hit home runs in the sixth and seventh innings to provide the Rays with insurance in the 11-1 win. Despite his strong performance Friday, he should continue to serve in a depth role unless he can perform well on a more consistent basis. |
|
| Sep 7 2020 | Lowe will serve as the Rays' designated hitter and will bat eighth Monday against the Nationals, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe will be making his third straight start Monday, even those his early returns haven't been promising. Since his Sept. 1 callup, Lowe has gone 0-for-9 with two walks against five strikeouts in three games. |
|
| Sep 1 2020 | Lowe was recalled by the Rays on Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe hit a solid .263/.325/.454 in his 50-game debut last season but failed to crack the Rays' Opening Day roster this year. He'll give the team an extra corner bat with Yandy Diaz (hamstring) heading to the injured list, though it's not yet clear whether or not he'll receive regular at-bats. |
|
| Jul 23 2020 | The Rays assigned Lowe to their alternate training site Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe is one of the Rays' top power bats at any level of the system, but he wasn't an ideal fit for a bench role with two other lefty-hitting first basemen in front of him on the depth chart (Ji-Man Choi and Yoshitomo Tsutsugo). The Rays have ample depth at every position on the roster, so it could require multiple absences from lineup regulars before Lowe gets another look as a strong-side platoon bat. |
|
| Jul 7 2020 | Lowe has put in work at third base in summer camp thus far, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Kevin Cash still envisions primarily deploying Lowe at first base when he's on the field, but he's also interested in finding ways to insert the promising 25-year-old in the lineup more frequently. Lowe put in a total of nine games at third base between Triple-A Durham and the Rays last season, compared to a combined 93 at first. Cash commented Monday that Lowe has looked serviceable at the hot corner thus far but still "needs more work." |
|
| Jul 3 2020 | Lowe was one of the players to take batting practice during the Rays' first day of summer camp Friday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old impressed during his first taste of the big leagues in 2019, slashing .263/.325/.454 across 169 plate appearances. Lowe is currently down the depth chart at first base and designated hitter, but with rosters expanded to 30 players for the first two weeks of the regular season, he certainly has a chance of sticking if he can impress during the approximately three weeks until the start of the campaign. |
|
| Mar 22 2020 | Lowe hit .227 (5-for-22) with two doubles, two RBI, two walks and one run across 11 Grapefruit League games during spring training. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe arrived in camp approximately 20 pounds lighter, but as his spring line indicates, that hasn't yet translated to increased success at the plate. The 24-year-old did make a strong case for himself over his 50-game major-league debut last season, slashing .263/.325/.454 with 15 extra-base hits (eight doubles, seven home runs), 19 RBI, 13 walks and 24 runs across 169 plate appearances. Lowe put in time at first base (21 games), third base (four games) and designated hitter (17 games) in 2019; that versatility should help keep his chances of securing an Opening Day roster spot relatively strong, although the offseason arrivals of Jose Martinez and Yoshi Tsutsugo does make it more of a challenge. |
|
| Feb 17 2020 | Lowe arrived in Rays camp nearly 20 pounds lighter than his season-ending weight of 245 pounds, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe enjoyed a solid rookie campaign, slashing .263/.325/.454 with seven home runs and 19 RBI across 169 plate appearances over 50 games. However, the 23-year-old felt he could increase his defensive utility and chances of remaining at the big-league level overall with better fitness, so he cut processed foods and sugar out of his diet while also engaging in offseason workouts with the likes of Francisco Lindor and Gio Urshela. Lowe saw time at both corner infield spots last season, and he believes his lighter frame will help sharpen up his range at the hot corner specifically, thereby increasing his chances of sticking on the Opening Day roster. |

| Oct 4 2019 | Lowe is not a member of the Rays' ALDS roster. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe recorded a solid .263/.325/.454 slash line in his 50-game debut this season. The Rays seem to be preferring defensive flexibility with their bench options, leaving Ji-Man Choi as the only left-handed first baseman on the roster. |
|
| Sep 28 2019 | Lowe went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs in a win over the Blue Jays on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe made some solid contributions from the latter half of the order in the postseason-clinching win, churning out his first multi-hit effort since Sept. 1 in the process. The rookie has only three extra-base hits during the month when factoring in Friday's two-bagger, but his season line remains a solid .272/.335/.469 (164 plate appearances) heading into the final pair of regular-season contests. |
|
| Sep 22 2019 | Lowe went 1-for-5 with a game-winning two-run home run in an extra-innings victory over the Red Sox on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rookie came through in dramatic fashion, as his 338-foot shot to left with Johnny Davis aboard in the bottom of the 11th erased a 4-3 deficit and won another critical game for the Rays. The round tripper was a rare taste of offensive success for Lowe in September, as he's still hitting just .184 (7-for-38) for the month and has struck out on 17 occasions over 39 plate appearances. |
|
| Sep 18 2019 | Lowe will play third and hit third in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, according to Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lowe started just three games at third base in the minor leagues, but that did not stop manager Kevin Cash from giving him the nod there for the first time as a big-leaguer. Lowe will look to get on track at the plate Wednesday after going just 5-for-29 (.172) over his first 12 games of the month. |

We're an injury from exploring that. Maybe he's a late-game situation where we have that flexibility that if he's at first, shift him over to third, we might look to do that.\" | Subscribe now<\/a> to instantly reveal our take on this news. |
