Nathaniel Lowe Fantasy Stats

The Boston Red Sox announced on Tuesday that they designated first baseman Nathaniel Lowe for assignment after acquiring infielder Tristan Gray from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for minor-league right-hander Luis Guerrero. Lowe began the 2025 campaign playing for the Washington Nationals, where he hit just .216/.292/.373 with a career-low .665 OPS, 16 home runs, 68 RBI, 50 runs scored, and a 130:47 K:BB in 119 games played. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger finished up the year in Boston, where he went 28-for-100 (.280) with two bombs, 16 RBI, and 14 runs scored in 34 regular-season contests. Lowe should attract some interest on the free-agent market this winter as a left-handed power bat, but in a best-case scenario, he'll probably be a platoon power bat at first base/designated hitter wherever he ends up. Lowe's best season came in Texas in 2022, when he hit 27 homers and drove in 76 in 157 games.

The Boston Red Sox have reinstated first baseman Nathaniel Lowe (personal) from the paternity list and optioned infielder Nick Sogard to Triple-A Worcester. However, Lowe is out of the lineup for the third game in a row on Saturday. Romy Gonzalez will play first base and bat sixth against Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Johan Oviedo. Lowe signed with the Red Sox on Aug. 18 after the Washington Nationals released him, and he has been effective in his first nine games with his new team. Over 32 plate appearances with Boston, Lowe has gone 8-for-27 with one home, seven RBI, five runs scored, and four walks.

The Boston Red Sox will place first baseman Nathaniel Lowe (personal) on the paternity list on Thursday, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. Outfielder Rob Refsnyder (oblique) will come off the 10-day injured list to take his roster spot. Lowe will miss up to three games, which should lead to more playing time at first base for Romy Gonzalez. After the Washington Nationals released Lowe on Aug. 16, he signed with the Red Sox and has been a regular in their lineup. Since debuting with Boston on Aug. 18, the 30-year-old has appeared in nine games and gone 8-for-27 with one homer, seven RBI, five runs scored, and 4:4 K:BB. Between the two teams, Lowe has combined to hit .221/.297/.379 with 17 HRs, 75 RBI, and 51 runs in 522 plate appearances.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Nathaniel Lowe is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. Lowe has been excellent with his new team, but he'll take a seat here against left-hander Carlos Rodon. Over his first four games, Lowe is 5-for-14 with a homer, five RBI, and two walks with the Red Sox. He figures to be the primary option at first base against right-handed pitching. Romy Gonzalez will take over first base and bat leadoff against Rodon. Lowe isn't an elite fantasy option, but is at least worth snagging in deep leagues.

The Boston Red Sox are finalizing a deal with first baseman Nathaniel Lowe. Earlier this week, the Nationals opted to designate Low for assignment. However, the 30-year-old first baseman was able to find a new home rather quickly. He will now join a Boston lineup that has had a revolving door at first base, including Romy Gonzalaez and Abraham Toro. With Washington, Lowe held a .216/.292/.373 line with 16 home runs and a stolen base. He has tallied an impressive 68 RBI and scored 50 runs. However, under the hood, he carries a .309 xwOBA, .235 xBA, and a .386 xSLG, all of which are well below the average marks of qualified hitters. Fantasy managers should expect Lowe to likely be deployed on the strong side of a platoon lineup at first base, which should give him value in most deeper leagues batting in a deep lineup.

The Washington Nationals announced that they have requested unconditional release waivers on first baseman Nathaniel Lowe. The team designated Lowe for assignment on Thursday, and he'll hit free agency once he clears waivers. Nobody is going to take on the remainder of Lowe's $10.3 million salary, so he's on his way to the open market after a disappointing few months with the Nationals. Lowe was a quality hitter with the Rangers from 2021-24, but after joining the Nationals in an offseason trade, he could only muster a .216/.292/.373 line with 16 homers, 68 RBI, and 50 runs scored in 490 plate appearances.

The Washington Nationals announced on Thursday that they designated first baseman Nathaniel Lowe for assignment to make room on the active roster for outfielder Dylan Crews (oblique), who is returning from the 60-day injured list. Lowe gets the boot off the team's 40-man roster after hitting .216/.292/.373 on the year with 16 home runs, 68 RBI, 50 runs scored and one stolen base in 440 at-bats in his first year with the team. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger was acquired from the Texas Rangers in the offseason and just didn't work out the way Washington was hoping. Lowe's departure from the roster means that fellow left-handed slugger Josh Bell will be the primary option at first in D.C. moving forward. Lowe will most likely go unclaimed on waivers before electing for free agency, but he should latch on with another team before the end of the season.

Washington Nationals first baseman Nathaniel Lowe had a productive night in an 8-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. Lowe went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer to help lead Washington to the win. The veteran kicked off the scoring in the game, ripping a three-run blast with two outs in the first inning. Lowe is now slashing .235/.301/.407 with 14 homers, 43 runs, 61 RBI, and one stolen base in 349 at-bats. While the batting average isn't great, Lowe is providing excellent power-hitting numbers for fantasy managers and the Nationals this season.

Washington Nationals first baseman Nathaniel Lowe had a big day in his team's 13-7 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. Lowe went 1-for-3 with a homer, a walk, and four RBI, but it wasn't enough in the high-scoring loss. The veteran launched a three-run homer in the third inning to give Washington an early 3-0 lead and later tacked on a sacrifice fly in the ninth. Lowe is slashing .229/.296/.403 with 13 homers, 32 runs, 51 RBI, and one stolen base across 293 at-bats in his first season in Washington. He can be regarded as a cheap source of power numbers, although his low batting average remains an issue.

Washington Nationals first baseman Nathaniel Lowe hit a pair of solo home runs Saturday night in his team's 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lowe has been hitting for more power this season. He's racked up 12 homers in 319 plate appearances after hitting 16 in 565 plate appearances last year. However, his power surge has been accompanied by a drop in average. A lifetime .267 hitter, Lowe has hit .227 this season and his strikeout rate has jumped from 22.1% to 27.3%. Lowe is receiving regular playing time with the Nationals, so he remains an acceptable corner infield option in deep leagues. Lowe is a player to monitor as the MLB trade deadline approaches. For now, fantasy managers can use Lowe as a streamer while he's swinging a hot bat.
