Homers in return Lowe went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.
Impact Lowe landed on the injured list after straining his oblique Opening Day. The outfielder was eased back into action as the designated hitter Thursday, but he'll be a welcome addition for the Rays, who are battling numerous outfield absences. Lowe also hit leadoff, where his speed on the basepaths should be fruitful once he's back in a rhythm. The 27-year-old hit .241 with a .693 OPS over 106 games in 2024, but he hit .292 with an .835 OPS, 20 home runs and 32 steals in 2023, so there's significant potential here if he can put it all together.

Moving rehab to Triple-A Thursday Lowe (oblique) will move his rehab assignment up to Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Impact Lowe began a rehab assignment with the Rays' Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday and hit a two-run homer among his five at-bats. It's not clear how many rehab games he will require before being activated, but it's a good sign that Lowe is already moving up to the team's highest minor-league affiliate. The 27-year-old outfielder has been shelved by a right oblique strain, which he suffered on Opening Day.
