Brandon Lowe News
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 second baseman Brandon Lowe's 2022 season was interrupted multiple times by injuries, and he ended the year with just 65 appearances. Over those contests, he slashed .221/.308/.383 with eight home runs, 31 runs, 25 RBI, and one stolen base, a season after slugging 39 dingers with a .247 batting average. Despite the injuries and down year, there were still bright spots. Lowe dropped his strikeout rate by 4.3%, and his .237 xBA is superior to his actual mark. His average exit velocity was a bit higher than 2021's, and though his barrel rate took a hit, his 10.3% rate is still elite. Everyone knows that Lowe can smash right-handers, and he showed an ability to hit lefties this year, posting a .793 OPS, which he's had trouble with in the past. The 28-year-old's never been much of a runner, but with a healthy season and a Rays team that's aggressive on the bases, nothing's stopping him from stealing a handful of bags. Lowe's going to hit behind solid on-base guys in the middle of the lineup, so even though he probably won't replicate his 196 RBI plus runs from 2021, he'll be able to reach 170 over a full season. The keystone position is relatively weak, and it's hard to find someone with the talent and power at the plate that the former prospect possesses. Lowe's ADP is sitting at 171, making him the 11th second baseman off the board, but he was the ability to outplay that.
