The Rays exercised Lowe's $11.5 million option for 2026 on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe will stay put after he slashed .256/.307/.477 with 31 home runs and 83 RBI this season for the Rays. The 31-year-old will be entering his walk year in 2026, so he will be a trade candidate if the Rays are not in contention when the deadline arrives.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Tristan Gray will start at second base in place of Lowe in the season finale. Unless he's used off the bench, Lowe will finish the campaign with a .256 batting average, 31 home runs, three stolen bases, 83 RBI and 79 runs.

Lowe is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Lowe plays against most lefties, but he'll take a seat in this one as the Orioles send southpaw Cade Povich to the bump. Richie Palacios will cover second base for the Rays.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe achieved his second 30-homer season when he went deep in the sixth inning. Just two of those long balls have come in September, as his power has declined following a nine-homer performance over 25 games in August. The infielder is now at a .258/.309/.478 slash line with 81 RBI, 78 runs scored, 18 doubles and three stolen bases across 130 contests this season.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe is out of the lineup for the second time in three games, a stretch that followed four consecutive starts at second base. In his last six games, Lowe is 6-for-26 (.231) with a homer and nine strikeouts.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Right-hander Kevin Gausman has been more effective against lefties than righties both this season and for his career, so the Rays will hold out Lowe and fellow left-handed hitter Josh Lowe for Wednesday's contest. Tristan Gray will step in for Brandon Lowe at the keystone.

Lowe went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe put the Rays on the board with a three-run shot in the third inning and later added an RBI single in the ninth. He snapped a 13-game homerless drought, during which he posted a .503 OPS with 23 punchouts. Lowe now owns a .258/.309/.476 slash line with 29 home runs and 79 RBI through 127 games.

Lowe is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

It's the first day off since Aug. 4 for Lowe, who went 1-for-12 with six strikeouts during this week's series versus the White Sox. Richie Palacios will play second base and bat seventh for the Rays.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe ripped a grand slam during the Rays' six-run second inning. It was his 28th long ball of the year and fourth in his last eight games. He leads all MLB second basemen in home runs and RBI (71) this season. Lowe owns a .264/.319/.493 slash line through 113 games and is approaching his first 30-homer campaign since 2021.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe led off the scoring for the Rays in the first inning with his 25th homer of the campaign. Six of those home runs have come in his last 15 starts, raising his slugging percentage to .489 for the season -- his highest mark since the 2021 campaign.
