Three hits, two RBI in win Lowe went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

Impact Lowe has gone 8-for-25 (.320) with two home runs and seven RBI over six games since the All-Star break. While he's still in a part-time role, he's heating up with the bat, which could help him carve out more playing time in a battle with Sal Stewart and Eugenio Suarez between first base and designated hitter. Overall, Lowe is batting .256 with an .808 OPS, 12 home runs, 33 RBI, 23 runs scored, 13 doubles and no stolen bases over 249 plate appearances, mainly as a strong-side platoon option.

Impact Lowe wasted no time getting Cincinnati on the board, crushing a three-run homer off Ryan Feltner in his first plate appearance as part of a five-run opening inning. The blast was his 11th of the season, and after enduring a 28-game home run drought, he has now gone deep twice over his last three contests. Across 72 games this season, Lowe is slashing .249/.333/.473 with 11 home runs, 13 doubles, 30 RBI and 22 runs scored.

Snaps RBI drought with homer Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Cubs on Saturday.

Impact Coming into Saturday, Lowe had remarkably failed to plate a run over his past 28 games dating back to May 31. He finally ended that skid when he launched a solo blast to right field in the fourth inning Saturday. Lowe posted a paltry .544 OPS during the RBI drought and struck out at a 33.3 percent clip, which has cost him playing time -- he's started just twice over the Reds' past six contests.

Playing time trending down Lowe is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies.

Left out of starting nine Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact The Pirates will send right-hander Mitch Keller to the bump for the series finale, but the left-handed-hitting Lowe will be included from the lineup nonetheless while he's gone just 2-for-13 with a 2:6 BB:K over his last six games. Cincinnati will go with Spencer Steer as its starting first baseman in place of Lowe.

JUNE 28 • ROTOWIRE

Hitting bench Wednesday Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact The Brewers are sending southpaw Shane Drohan to the bump for the series finale, so Reds manager Terry Francona will elect to give the lefty-hitting Lowe the evening off. Lowe started in each of Cincinnati's last seven games, going 5-for-20 with two doubles and a 2:8 BB:K during that stretch.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

Taking seat against lefty Lowe is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Impact The Mets are sending a lefty (David Peterson) to the bump for the second game of the series, so the left-handed-hitting Lowe will retreat to the bench. Spencer Steer will cover first base in place of Lowe, who went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and a run in the Reds' 8-2 win Monday in the series opener.

MAY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Getting afternoon off Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact After slugging home runs in both ends of Saturday's twin bill, Lowe will take a seat for the series finale while the Cardinals send lefty Brycen Mautz to the hill. The Reds recently welcomed Eugenio Suarez back from the injured list, but manager Terry Francona could continue to find regular room in the lineup at first base for Lowe against right-handed pitching while the 30-year-old is wielding a hot bat. Over the last week, Lowe has gone 8-for-22 with five extra-base hits, seven RBI and four runs.

MAY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Two-homer day in twin bill Lowe homered in both ends of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. He was a combined 3-for-8 with two home runs and three RBI.

Impact Lowe started at first base in both games while Sal Stewart, the Reds' primary starter at first base, served as the designated hitter in the matinee and the third baseman in the night cap. An injury to third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) should result in a rotation of Lowe, Stewart and Eugenio Suarez in some combination sharing first base, third base and DH. Lowe is up to eight to home runs and 23 RBI over 38 games.
