Brandon Lowe - Page 22 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Drives in two Lowe went 1-for-3 with two RBI, a run scored and a walk Sunday against the Yankees.

Impact Lowe drove in his runs on a sacrifice fly and a groundout, though he still managed only his third hit across 11 games in May. In that span, he's hit just .083 with four RBI and two runs scored. Lowe is still a regular in the Rays' lineup against right-handed pitching, though that could change due to the team's depth if his performance doesn't improve.

Rays plan to stick with slumping Brandon Lowe Notebook | Though the left-handed hitter entered Saturday with just one hit in May, manager Kevin Cash is confident a hot streak is coming.

Sits against southpaw Lowe will sit Saturday against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact Lowe's off day comes against lefty Nestor Cortes. Lowe started against a southpaw on Opening Day but has sat against each of the eight lefties the Rays have faced since then. Lowe probably could have used a day off regardless of who was on the hill for the Yankees, as he's gone hitless in his last seven games and owns a .355 OPS over his last 17 contests. That slump contrasts strongly with the 1.045 OPS he recorded over his first 17 games of the year. Taylor Walls will take over at second base.

Breather Tuesday Lowe is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Orioles.

Impact Lowe has been in quite the prolonged funk at the plate, going 5-for-52 with four extra-base hits, five RBI and four runs scored with 20 strikeouts over his last 13 games, not to mention he went 3-for-4 versus the White Sox on April 27. He'll be replaced by Taylor Walls at second base, who will bat seventh against Baltimore.

Back in lineup Lowe (back) will bat cleanup and start at second base Saturday against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact Lowe sat out the last two days while battling a back issue, one which was reportedly different from the back troubles which cost him much of last season. He started this season strong, posting a 1.045 OPS in his first 17 games, but he's slumped to a .478 OPS and a 39.0 percent strikeout rate over his last 10. It's possible he was bothered by the back problem over that stretch, so his brief rest could be what he needs to get back on track.

Is Rays' success due to team chemistry? Or is it the other way around? Beyond the obvious (home runs and dominant pitching), players and staff say Tampa Bay’s strong start is a product of teamwork and kinship.

Out with back issue Lowe is absent from the Rays' lineup for the second straight day Friday due to a slight back issue, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Lowe, of course, missed a large chunk of the 2022 campaign with back problems, although manager Kevin Cash said this issue is unrelated. The second baseman plans to go through a full workout Friday and be available off the bench, so it sounds like he should return to the lineup soon.

Breaks slump in blowout victory Lowe went 3-for-4 with one triple, one home run, three RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 14-5 win over the White Sox.

Impact This breakout game was a welcome sight for fantasy managers, as Lowe had gone hitless in his previous five games. The infielder was was an instrumental factor in this blowout victory, finishing a double away from the cycle. The 28-year-old is now slashing .257/.368/.581 with seven homers and 18 RBI so far this year.

Taking a seat Tuesday Lowe is absent from the Rays' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

Impact Lowe went 0-for-5 with five strikeouts Monday and is 0-for-13 with nine strikeouts over his last three games, so it's probably not a bad time to give him a break. It's the first time this season that he's been on the bench versus a right-hander. Taylor Walls will handle second base.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Walks it off Friday Lowe went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-7 win over the White Sox.

Impact The second baseman played hero in the bottom of the ninth inning, crushing a walkoff shot off Reynaldo Lopez to right field to keep the Rays undefeated at home to begin the season. Lowe has regained his power stroke after a tough 2022, slugging six long balls in 17 games after going yard only eight times in 65 contests last year, but perhaps more impressive has been his .291/.409/.636 slash line in 66 plate appearances -- not bad for a player with a career .251/.338/.500 line.
