Brandon Lowe News
Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that second baseman Brandon Lowe's (oblique) visit with a specialist on Tuesday brought "good news," as the infielder's imaging showed he's healing and heading in the right direction. It's just an issue of pain tolerance as Lowe recuperates from a strained right oblique, but he'll return to St. Petersburg for what the Rays hope to be a short stay. Lowe will then resume swinging and return to minor-league rehab games, and the 29-year-old righty masher still appears to be on track to return to Tampa Bay sometime in late May if all goes well. Before going down, Lowe went 5-for-27 with one home run and four RBI in eight games this year and is only a modest fantasy stash. In his absence, Amed Rosario and Richie Palacios have formed a platoon for at-bats at second base.
Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (oblique) is still feeling "something" in his oblique and is seeing a specialist on Tuesday, and the club will know more after that visit. Despite going deep during Sunday's minor-league assignment with Triple-A Durham while playing the whole game at second base, Lowe is still dealing with discomfort in his strained right oblique. It puts his return timetable suddenly in a state of uncertainty, as the infielder appeared to be poised for a return to the major-league roster sometime this week. Before going down, Lowe hit just 5-for-27 (.185) with one home run, one double, and four RBI through eight games and doesn't need to be stashed outside of deeper fantasy leagues. Amed Rosario and Richie Palacios are handling the bulk of the reps at the keystone for now, with the former being the preferred option from a fantasy perspective.
Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (oblique) exited Friday's game for Triple-A Durham after one at-bat. The team says the move was precautionary, but there was no indication as to why he was removed from the game. Lowe is working his way back from an oblique injury suffered earlier in the regular season. The 29-year-old began the rehab assignment on Tuesday and had collected two hits (a double and a grand slam) in five at-bats. The left-handed hitter had also collected three walks. Lowe was expected to rejoin the big-league club within the next week or so, but it's unclear whether or not this latest issue will delay his return.

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe hit 21 home runs in just 109 games in 2023. However, his NFBC ADP is 271. That is not because of his talent or capabilities but his inability to stay healthy. Lowe has been limited to 174 of the Rays' regular season games the last two seasons. He missed most of 2022 due to back issues, and his 2023 season ended prematurely after fracturing his kneecap. This has been a bummer for Rays fans and fantasy baseball managers because he is among the best offensive second basemen in MLB when healthy. The 29-year-old slashed .247/.340/.523 with 39 HR, 97 runs scored, and 99 RBI in 2021. Fortunately, reports have revealed that Lowe feels as good as he did in his career year. This is undoubtedly a positive sign. If he can play an entire season in 2024, he could be a top-10 second baseman in fantasy baseball. Lowe should bounce back some in 2024 as ATC projects the veteran to slash .237/.327/.448 with 22 home runs and six stolen bases over 477 plate appearances.
