Keeps raking Monday Lowe went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a triple, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's 14-5 rout of Atlanta.

Impact That's now three straight multi-hit performances for Lowe, with five of his seven hits over that stretch going for extra bases (three doubles and two triples). The Rays' deep bench means any player is at risk of getting a rest on any given day, but as long as Lowe is locked in at the plate, he should remain in the lineup.

Roughed up in relief Toussaint gave up six runs on five hits and a walk over 2.2 innings of relief during Monday's 14-5 loss to the Rays. He struck out six.

Impact While the right-hander did show flashes of dominance and fired 42 of his 67 pitches for strikes, Toussaint was far too hittable when he was over the plate, serving up a homer to Hunter Relfroe along with a pair of doubles to Brandon Lowe. Atlanta has a sudden opening in its rotation after Mike Foltynewicz was abruptly designated for assignment, but Toussaint's performance in relief of Folty on Monday doesn't suggest he's ready to fill it.

Continues torrid start Lowe went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and two doubles in an extra-inning win over the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Impact A day after lacing a two-run triple, Lowe was back to putting good wood on the ball throughout Sunday's game. His only non extra-base hit of the day, a seventh-inning single to shallow right, accounted for his one RBI and knotted the game at 4-4. After an 0-for-2 tally on Opening Night, Lowe went 5-for-9 over the last two games of the series against Toronto.

Multi-RBI effort in win Lowe went 2-for-4 with a two-run triple and a run, which came as the result of a balk, in a win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Impact Lowe's eighth-inning three-bagger brought home Hunter Renfroe and Ji-Man Choi to snap a 1-1 tie. The 26-year-old saw time at both left field and second base Saturday, a level of versatility that should help keep his playing time constant in 2020.

Status for Opening Day in doubt Manager Kevin Cash said Friday there's uncertainty if Meadows (illness) will be available for Opening Day, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 25-year-old tested positive for COVID-19 and was placed on the injured list Thursday, potentially making him unavailable for the start of the season. Meadows has no official timeline for his return, but with only one week until Opening Day he would need a quick turnaround after shifting to the IL. He was present for the start of summer training but last participated in workouts about two weeks ago. Manuel Margot, Yoshi Tsutsugo and Brandon Lowe could work in left field if Meadows remains on the shelf.

Ready for big season Alvarado, who struggled to a career-worst 4.80 ERA and 1.87 WHIP in 2019, feels highly confident he'll have a bounce-back year in 2020, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. "When he's...

Impact The hard-throwing southpaw was the picture of dominance in 2018 with a 2.39 ERA and 80 strikeouts across 64 innings, but a family matter in Venezuela last season led to a month-plus absence and essentially derailed Alvarado's campaign. However, the 25-year-old worked out diligently nearly every day during the recent shutdown, and he blew Cash away with his live batting practice session Saturday. Alvarado threw 15 pitches while facing Brandon Lowe and Willy Adames, and he reportedly landed all but one offering in the strike zone according to Cash.

Gets plenty of work at Trop Lowe got in both batting practice and fielding work at Tropicana Field on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Lowe was part of a contingent of six Rays position players that was present Monday for the team's ongoing small-group, informal workouts. and Topkin's report implies the versatile infielder put in a full workload under the circumstances. Live batting practice is supposed to be on the menu for the first time in Wednesday's workouts, a particularly timely development considering there now appears to finally be a tangible chance for a 60-game regular season that would begin in late July. Lowe, who impressed during Grapefruit League play before spring training was suspended, should have about a month to ramp back up and continue developing a tweaked swing that now includes a heel tap.

JUNE 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Tweaks swing ahead of season Lowe recently revealed on a podcast appearance that he's tweaked his swing by adding a heel tap, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Lowe elaborated on the adjustment to Neil Solondz of Rays Radio, explaining that he picked up the heel tap from former teammate Avisail Garcia last season. Lowe saw Garcia hit a career-high 20 home runs with that approach in 2019, which likely made a strong impression on the emerging 25-year-old. Lowe has been able to engage in batting practice regularly at home while spring training has been suspended, and he'll enter a potential 2020 season with high expectations after hitting .350 during Grapefruit League action before play was paused.
