Showcases versatility Lowe went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer, an additional RBI and one steal in Sunday's loss to the Brewers.

Impact Lowe was the lone source of offense for the Rays on Sunday, driving in all four of the team's runs. The outfielder turned a hanging slider from Freddy Peralta into a three-run home run in the fourth inning, scoring Randy Arozarena and Harold Ramirez, then scored Arozarena again in the eighth on a single. With 11 home runs and nine stolen bases through 38 games, Lowe is joined by Ronald Acuna as the only two players with at least eight homers and eight steals in MLB, displaying his incredibly unique skillset for category formats.

Sits against righty in finale Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact While he's upholding a robust .989 OPS on the season while also contributing on the basepaths (five steals in six attempts), the lefty-hitting Lowe should play against right-handers more often than not, though he'll occasionally be the odd man out of the lineup due to the Rays' logjam in the outfield and at designated hitter. He'll find himself on the bench Sunday while the Rays deploy Harold Ramirez at DH and roll out an outfield of Randy Arozarena, Jose Siri and Manuel Margot from left to right against Yankees ace Gerrit Cole.

Sitting out Tuesday Lowe is absent from the Rays' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

It coincides with Jose Siri's return from the injured list. Lowe is batting a robust .342/.398/.632 with five homers and five steals but is still falling short of being an everyday player. He's yet to start a game against a lefty.

The 25-year-old failed to deliver to the hype around him a season ago, but seems to have figured things out in the early going, slashing .342/.398/.632 with five homers, 18 RBI, 17 runs, five steals and a 7:17 BB:K over 83 plate appearances.
