Heads to bench against lefty Lowe is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact Though Lowe will head to the bench after a seven-game stint in the starting lineup during which he supplied a modest .660 OPS, he still appears to have a fairly clear runway to a near-everyday role in the outfield while Kevin Kiermaier (hip) is out indefinitely. Rays manager Kevin Cash likely viewed Tuesday as a good opportunity to give the lefty-hitting Lowe a day off with a tough southpaw (Chris Sale) on the mound for Boston.

Tallies second homer Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Reds.
Impact Lowe took Joel Kuhnel yard in the eighth inning to tally his second home run of the season. He has lowered his strikeout rate to 13.9 percent while tallying four extra-base hits across his last nine starts and 36 plate appearances. Lowe has also been in the Rays' lineup for each of the last six games and should have a more secure role with Kevin Kiermaier (hip) sidelined.

Smacks two doubles Lowe went 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Red Sox.
Impact In an apparent effort to get Lowe going at the plate, the Rays shifted him to the leadoff spot Wednesday. He responded with his second multi-hit effort across 14 starts since being recalled June 20. Lowe has struggled to a .170 average and a 29.1 percent strikeout rate across 55 plate appearances in that span, though he remains a regular in the lineup.

Losing work to Harold Ramirez Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The lefty-hitting Lowe is on the bench for a second straight game against a right-handed starting pitcher (Ross Stripling), after he was excluded from the lineup for the second game of Saturday's twin bill when righty Thomas Hatch took the hill for Toronto. Prior to sitting out, Lowe had gone 2-for-11 over his previous three starts, which actually raised his season-long batting average to .179. The rookie looks as though he could be moving into more of a part-time role in favor of the righty-hitting Harold Ramirez, who is starting for the eighth game in a row.

Not starting Game 2 Lowe isn't starting the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Lowe went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in the first game of the twin bill and will get a breather in the matinee. Randy Arozarena is shifting to left field while Harold Ramirez starts in right.

Hits bench Wednesday Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The rookie will take a seat for the first time since being called up from Triple-A Durham on June 20. While starting in each of the past seven games, Lowe went 5-for-28 with a double, a stolen base, three runs and an RBI while striking out 12 times. Top center fielder Kevin Kiermaier (hip) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list this weekend, and Lowe's lack of production in a full-time role thus far could put him in danger of losing out on steady at-bats.

Swipes bag in Friday's win Lowe went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Pirates.
Impact The rookie also struck out three times, continuing the contact issues that originally got him demoted in early May. Lowe has gone 2-for-15 with seven Ks over four games since returning to the Rays' lineup, but with Kevin Kiermaier (hip) and Manuel Margot (knee) both out of action for Tampa Bay, the 24-year-old top prospect will be given a chance to figure things out in the majors.
JUNE 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Strikes out twice in MLB return Lowe went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk Monday against the Yankees.
Impact Lowe was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Monday and started in left field while hitting eighth. His trouble making contact -- regardless of level -- continued Tuesday and marked the eighth time in 20 big-league games that he struck out multiple times this season. However, with Manuel Margot (knee) and Kevin Kiermaier (hip) expected to land on the injured list, Lowe should get regular run in the Rays' outfield.
