Angels Send Josh Lowe to Triple-A

The Los Angeles Angels announced on Friday that they optioned outfielder Josh Lowe to Triple-A Salt Lake following their loss on Thursday night to the division-rival Athletics. In his first season in Anaheim, Lowe has continued to disappoint, being sent to the minors after slashing .184/.226/.320 with a .546 OPS, five home runs, 14 RBI, eight runs scored, a stolen base, six walks, and 39 strikeouts in 45 games across 134 plate appearances. With Lowe no longer with the big-league club, outfielder Wade Meckler has been called up and is starting in left field and batting sixth for the Halos in Friday's series opener against the division-rival Texas Rangers and right-hander Jacob deGrom. Lowe, a 28-year-old former 13th overall pick in 2016 by the Tampa Bay Rays, was once heralded as a potential high-end power/speed outfielder, but things just haven't panned out for him in the big leagues since he hit 20 homers, drove in 83, and stole 32 bases in 135 games in 135 games in 2023 in his first full season with the Rays. Injuries have not helped his cause. Lowe is now rostered in only 2% of Yahoo leagues.

Josh Lowe Blasts Fifth Home Run, Showing Signs of Improvement at the Plate?

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Josh Lowe connected on his fifth long ball of the year in the second inning off Aaron Civale in his team's extra-inning loss on Wednesday night. Lowe went 1-for-4 with two RBI and two strikeouts and is still hitting only .182 on the year with a 29.2% K%. However, he has been much more productive lately. In his last 10 games, he is 8-for-24 (.333) with a 47.1% hard-hit rate and a .379 wOBA. He has a .215 BABIP on the season, which is well below league average, and if more of his contact starts falling in, his average could climb in the next few weeks. The lefty remains in a platoon but does have a high ceiling despite his low batting average and high strikeout rate. If you're in a deep league, Lowe has shown enough signs over the last 10 games to watch him closely moving forward or try to get ahead of a surge with a speculative pickup. His power potential is clearly intriguing if he can continue his current momentum.

Josh Lowe Returns to the Outfield on Friday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) is starting in left field and will hit fifth in Friday's Cactus League game against the Chicago White Sox, according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. It's the first time that Lowe will play the outfield since injuring his oblique. Lowe had been serving as the designated hitter to ease his way back into action, and he even hit a grand slam in a Cactus League game on Wednesday. The 28-year-old left-handed slugger looks to be just fine for Opening Day next week. Staying healthy has been an issue for Lowe in his five-year major-league career, playing in over 108 games just one time. He hit 20 home runs and stole 32 bases in his best season in 2023 with the Tampa Bay Rays, but he has just 21 combined home runs in the last two seasons while battling various oblique injuries. If he can stay healthy, Lowe has clear 20-20 potential in his new home in Anaheim as he likely rotates between outfield and designated-hitter duties.

Josh Lowe Plays Six Innings in Minor-League Game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) said he played six innings on a back field in a minor-league game on Tuesday and got some outfield work in as well, according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Lowe recently returned to Cactus League action for the Halos in a designated-hitter role after initially injuring his oblique in late February. The 28-year-old left-handed slugger has a history of oblique injuries, so it makes sense for the Angels to err on the side of caution with the regular season starting late next week. Lowe, a former first-rounder in 2016 by the Tampa Bay Rays, was once a promising power/speed threat before injuries slowed him down. He had a 20-homer campaign in 2023 and also stole 32 bags that year and drove in 83 runs. Lowe has had two straight disappointing seasons since then, hitting a combined .230/.292/.378 with 21 homers, 74 RBI, and 43 stolen bases. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can still dream on that potential, but he must stay healthy and will be battling for playing time in Anaheim.

Josh Lowe Returns to Angels Spring Lineup on Saturday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) is back in the lineup at designated hitter for his team's Spring Training matchup against the Seattle Mariners. Lowe has managed just seven plate appearances this spring as he battles nagging oblique issues, but it appears as though he will have a chance to ramp up and be ready for Opening Day. Lowe is no stranger to oblique problems and injury issues in general, as he's reached 500 plate appearances just once in the last three years. The 28-year-old is looking to get his MLB career back on track after he struggled to a .220/.283/.366 line across 435 plate appearances with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2025. However, Lowe collected 11 home runs and 18 stolen bases even in a down year, and he profiles an intriguing power/speed threat for fantasy managers if he can ever get a run of extended health.

Angels Expect Josh Lowe to be Ready for Opening Day

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) will likely start hitting in minor-league games in spring training this weekend, according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Lowe can rack up at-bats in minor-league games, so the Angels are currently expecting him to be ready for Opening Day in late March. More oblique issues this spring have limited the left-handed slugger to only three Cactus League games as he gets ready for his first season in Anaheim in 2026. Lowe was a former 13th overall selection in 2016, but he just hasn't panned out in five major-league seasons, hitting .250/.306/.414 with a .721 OPS, 43 home runs, 170 RBI, 188 runs scored, and 79 stolen bases in 403 games played. He does have two 20-homer seasons and plenty of speed, but his recurring oblique injuries make him hard to trust as outfield depth in fantasy in mixed leagues. RotoBaller currently has Lowe ranked as the No. 67 fantasy outfielder.

Josh Lowe Still Bothered by Oblique

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) has been shut down for a few days because of his oblique, according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. It's an injury that has bothered Lowe for the past two years. Manager Kurt Suzuki said the team is "going to give him a few more days to be cautious." The 28-year-old missed time with the Tampa Bay Rays each of the last two seasons due to oblique injuries, so it's not a great sign that he's still bothered by it this spring. The former 13th overall pick in 2016 has never been able to reach his full potential in the big leagues due to injuries, but if he can stay healthy, he's an outfielder sleeper in deeper fantasy leagues because of his power/speed upside. Lowe will need to stay healthy and figure out a way to improve against left-handers, though. He has yet to play in more than 135 games in a season, and he hit .220/.283/.366 with a .650 OPS, 11 home runs, 40 RBI, 56 runs, and 18 steals in 108 games in Tampa last year.

Angels Acquire Josh Lowe in Three-Team Trade

The Los Angeles Angels are acquiring outfielder Josh Lowe from the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday in a three-team trade that also involves the Cincinnati Reds, sources told Jeff Passan of ESPN. The Reds are sending infielder Gavin Lux and right-hander Chris Clark to the Rays, and the Angels are sending left-hander Brock Burke to the Reds. Lowe will give the Angels more outfield depth after they traded Taylor Ward to the Baltimore Orioles this offseason for right-hander Grayson Rodriguez. Lowe, a 27-year-old left-handed hitter, has struggled with injuries the last two years with Tampa, but his power/speed upside makes him worth a late-round gamble. The former first-rounder hit 20 homers and stole 32 bases in 2023, and he combined for 21 homers and 43 steals in 214 the last two years in Tampa. In addition to durability concerns, Lowe has struggled against left-handers. A change of scenery could help Lowe, but he still has to stay healthy, and he could be limited to a strong-side platoon outfield role.

Josh Lowe Out of Lineup on Friday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe is not in the lineup on Friday against Chicago Cubs left-hander Matthew Boyd. Jake Mangum will take over for Lowe in right field and hit fifth, while Everson Pereira will play center and bat sixth. It's logical to sit Lowe against a tough lefty, as southpaws have held him to a miserable .496 OPS in 104 plate appearances in 2025. The left-handed Lowe has had far more success versus righties (.777 OPS), leading to an overall line of .236/.301/.399 with 11 homers, 39 RBI, 54 runs, and 17 steals in 387 trips to the plate.

Josh Lowe Absent Against Southpaw

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe is out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. This appears to be a rare off day for Lowe who has started in each of the last 13 games. This is a good time to sit him against left-hander Logan Allen. The Rays will go the matchup route and have the switch-hitting Jake Mangum in his place in right field and batting sixth on Thursday. Lowe figures to be back in the starting lineup following this contest.
