Jed Lowrie News
Second baseman Jed Lowrie announced his retirement from professional baseball on Thursday, which included three different stints with the Oakland Athletics. Lowrie finishes his 14-year major-league career with a .257/.330/.406 slash line, .736 OPS, 121 home runs, 594 RBI, 590 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 5,196 regular season plate appearances and 1,307 games played. He spent half of his time in the big leagues playing for the A's, and his lone All-Star appearance came with Oakland in 2018, when he hit .267/.353/.448 with an .801 OPS, career-high 23 home runs, 99 RBI and 78 runs scored in 157 games. Lowrie also played for the Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros and New York Mets in his career.
The Oakland Athletics designated veteran second baseman Jed Lowrie for assignment on Wednesday. The 38-year-old has had a rough year at the plate in Oakland, slashing just .180/.245/.263 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored and one stolen base in 184 plate appearances over 50 games played. In 139 games in 2021, Lowrie hit .245/.318/.398 with 14 home runs, 69 RBI and 55 runs scored in 512 plate appearances. At this point in his career, it's unlikely that another team will attempt to claim him off waivers, so there's a chance he'll either return to the A's or become a free agent.
The Oakland Athletics optioned outfielder Cristian Pache to Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday and also placed infielder Jed Lowrie (shoulder) on the injured list. In corresponding moves, Adam Oller was optioned to Las Vegas, infielder Vimael Machin was called up, right-hander Adrian Martinez was called up to start against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday and Skye Bolt was reinstated from the injured list. Pache needs to work on his swing down in the minors after hitting .159 with two home runs, 13 RBI and one stolen base in 68 games in his first year in Oakland. Lowrie, meanwhile, has hit .185 with three long balls and 16 RBI in 151 at-bats. Bolt, who is starting in center field and batting sixth against Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert on Thursday, could see regular playing time in center now. Machin has had a breakout year in the minors and is worth a peek in deep mixed and AL-only leagues if he sees enough playing time around the infield.
