Bows out of lineup Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact He's one of three lefty-hitting regulars taking a seat for the series finale, with Ji-Man Choi and Brandon Lowe also joining Lowe on the bench. Randy Arozarena, who served as the Rays' designated hitter in Saturday's 3-2 win, will replace Lowe in left field Sunday.

Collects two hits, steals base Lowe went 2-for-4 with a steal, one RBI and a run scored in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Lowe scored on Ji-Man Choi's fourth-inning single after he singled and swiped second base. He then drove in Brett Phillips with an RBI single of his own in the fifth. The rookie outfielder is now slashing .182/.289/.242 with five runs scored through 38 plate appearances.

On bench Saturday Lowe isn't starting Saturday's game against the White Sox, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Lowe has gone just 1-for-14 with an RBI, two walks and eight strikeouts in his last four appearances, and he'll retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games, even with righty Michael Kopech on the mound for the White Sox. Randy Arozarena will start in left field while Taylor Walls enters the lineup at shortstop.

Sits against lefty Lowe is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact With southpaw Cole Irvin on the hill for Oakland, the righty-hitting Harold Ramirez will crack the starting nine as a replacement for the lefty-hitting Lowe. Over his first six games with Tampa Bay this season, Lowe has slashed .143/.308/.238 with three runs and an RBI across 26 plate appearances.

Walks twice in debut Lowe went 0-for-2 with two walks in Friday's win over the Orioles.

Impact Lowe was not originally slated to begin the season on the major-league roster, though that changed once the Rays dealt Austin Meadows to Detroit. Though he hit seventh in the order while making his debut, it appears that Lowe will have everyday playing time to begin the season as he was in the Opening Day lineup despite facing a left-handed pitcher. While it's not clear how Lowe's skillset will translate to the big leagues immediately, he has hit for power and stolen double-digit bases throughout his minor-league career.

APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as designated hitter Lowe will bat seventh and serve as the designated hitter in Friday's season opener against Baltimore, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact It's rare to see someone capable of playing center field stuck in a designated hitter role, but the Rays will roll with a trio of strong defensive outfielders in Randy Arozarena, Kevin Kiermaier and Manuel Margot for their first game of the year, leaving no room for Lowe. The fact that they want Lowe's bat in the lineup anyway, even against the left-handed John Means, is an encouraging sign for the rookie's playing time. Lowe hit .291/.381/.535 with 22 homers and 26 steals in 111 games for Triple-A Durham last season and should be able to contribute across the board if he's given enough at-bats.

Officially added to roster The Rays recalled Lowe from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, making his addition to the Opening Day roster official.

Impact One of the organization's top prospects, Lowe was originally optioned to Triple-A Durham on March 31 so he could continue to play on an everyday basis to begin the season, but an opportunity on the big-league roster reopened after Tampa Bay traded Austin Meadows to Detroit on Monday. Even with Meadows exiting the outfield and designated hitter picture, the Rays are still overflowing with quality options at either spot, which could result in the lefty-hitting Lowe settling for strong-side platoon work or part-time duty. Even if he ends up sitting two or three times per week, Lowe should still receive enough starts to justify a roster spot in most 12-team mixed leagues. The 24-year-old put his excellent speed, plus power and strong plate skills on full display at Triple-A Durham in 2021, producing a .916 OPS while walking at a 13.2 percent clip and going 26-for-26 on stolen-base attempts.

Set to join MLB roster Lowe will be called up by Tampa Bay and join the team beginning on Opening Day, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Lowe was optioned to Triple-A after he hit .190 with two RBI, a stolen base and six strikeouts in eight Grapefruit League games this spring. However, he will be recalled to the majors with the trade of Austin Meadows to Detroit. Lowe isn't likely to be called up if he isn't going to get significant playing time. Lowe is one of Tampa Bay's top prospects and has 20/20 potential with his combination of speed and power.

Optioned to Triple-A Lowe was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Lowe was competing for a depth role in Tampa Bay's outfield this spring, but he'll report to the minors to begin the year after he hit .190 with two RBI, a stolen base and six strikeouts in eight Grapefruit League games this spring. However, he'll likely be in consideration for a major-league roster spot at some point in 2022 as long as he performs well in Durham.

Back to Triple-A Lowe was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact With Randy Arozarena getting activated from the paternity list, Lowe predictably got sent back to the minors. Lowe had a single, a walk and a stolen base in two plate appearances while playing sparingly during his first cup of coffee in the majors.
