Impact Lowe opened the season in the strong side of a platoon in left field, but the Angels demoted him to Triple-A on May 22 after he struggled to a .184/.226/.320 slash line with a 29.1 percent strikeout rate over 134 plate appearances. While handling a regular role for Salt Lake over the past month, Lowe has trimmed his strikeout rate to 26.2 percent while producing a 1.014 OPS, though that strong production comes with the caveat that he did his damage in hitter-friendly parks in the Pacific Coast League. He received a call-up to the Angels nonetheless, though Lowe may be in store for only a short-term stay with the big club after everyday center fielder Jose Siri (personal) was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move.

Optioned to Triple-A The Angels optioned Lowe to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Impact Lowe has underperformed during his first season in Anaheim, slashing .184/.226/.320 with five homers, 14 RBI and eight runs scored across 134 plate appearances. The Angels will now send him down to the minors to get back on track, and Wade Meckler will come up from Salt Lake to fill the active roster spot and possibly take over as the big club's primary left fielder.

Not in Friday's lineup Lowe is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Rangers on Friday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Lowe will be on the bench for Friday's series opener while Wade Meckler, Mike Trout and Jo Adell start in the outfield from left to right. Lowe has gone 9-for-28 (.321) with one home run and four RBI over his last 11 games.

Lifts homer in loss Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Athletics.

Impact Lowe went deep in the second inning, ending a stretch of 16 contests without a homer. He his just .159 in that span and is batting a meager .182 with a .547 OPS across 130 plate appearances this season. The outfielder has added five homers, 14 RBI, eight runs scored, one stolen base and two doubles. He continues to fill a platoon role, but he doesn't offer enough upside to have much appeal in fantasy, especially since his base-running has all but disappeared due to his struggles with getting on base at all.

On bench against lefty Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Lowe will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Angels face another lefty starter (Joey Cantillo) to begin their three-game set in Cleveland. Bryce Teodosio will cover left field in place of Lowe, who has gone 1-for-15 with zero walks and five strikeouts against southpaws on the season.

Taking seat in series finale Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact After making starts in each of the Halos' last seven games, the left-handed-hitting Lowe will head to the bench Wednesday while the White Sox send southpaw rookie Noah Schultz to the bump. Bryce Teodosio will check in for Lowe in left field and will bat ninth.

Homers in loss Tuesday Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Lowe's homer in the eighth inning off Jordan Leasure was his fourth of the season and first since April 17. The 28-year-old has really struggled at the plate in his first season with the Halos, slashing .192/.250/.370 with the four long balls, 10 RBI, seven runs scored, one stolen base and a 5:22 BB:K across 81 plate appearances. After swiping 75 bases for the Rays from 2023-25, Lowe was expected to be a source of power and speed from the left side for the Angels. He has a career-low 26.5 percent hard-hit rate.

Idle against southpaw Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Lowe will take a seat for the fifth time in six games, with each of his absences coming against left-handed starting pitchers. In an effort to optimize Lowe's production, the Angels seem content to continue deploying the left-handed-hitting outfielder in the strong side of a platoon with Bryce Teodosio.

Knocks three hits Sunday Lowe went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 11-9 extra-inning loss to the Royals.

Impact Lowe was lifted for a pinch runner in the seventh inning, with Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register noting that the outfielder may have tweaked his calf. However, Fletcher added that it might have been a planned replacement, and the Angels didn't provide an update on Lowe after the game, so it's safe to assume he's fine until information to the contrary surfaces. Lowe's big game lifted his average to .188 on the year, and he's added a .583 OPS, three home runs, nine RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base across 77 plate appearances. He is primarily working on the strong side of a platoon in left field, and a run of four straight left-handed starters against the Angels had limited Lowe to a bench role for much of the past week.

Idle against LHP once again Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Lowe will be held out of the starting nine for the second straight day while the Angels face off against another left-handed starting pitcher (Eric Lauer). In Lowe's absence, Bryce Teodosio will pick up another start in the outfield, this time covering center while Mike Trout occupies the designated-hitter spot.

José Soriano Dominates Again, Angels Snap Padres' 8-Game Winning Streak

Lifts two-run homer Lowe went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-0 win over the Padres.

Impact Lowe provided the Angels' last runs of the game with his fifth-inning blast off San Diego reliever David Morgan. Lowe has hit safely in three straight games while striking out three times in that span, an improvement from his rough showing early in the season. He's still hitting a paltry .167 with a .598 OPS, three homers, nine RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base over 18 contests.
