Lowe went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The wind aided Lowe, but he managed to take Chris Sale yard in the third inning. The performance was notable because it was a homer off of one of the best left-handed pitchers in the league and because it was his second consecutive game with a long ball. Even on a platoon-heavy team, Lowe projects to be the Rays' everyday second baseman while occupying a premium spot in the lineup.

The Rays exercised Lowe's $10 million club option for 2025 on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's possible the Rays will look to trade Lowe as his salary escalates, but picking up the option was a fairly easy call. They also have an $11.5 million club option for 2026. Lowe slashed .244/.311/.473 with 21 home runs over 425 plate appearances for Tampa Bay this season.

Lowe is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Boston, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe will sit for the Rays' regular-season finale as Dylan Carlson serves as the designated hitter and bats seventh. Unless he pinch hits Sunday, Lowe will end the 2024 regular season slashing .244/.311/.473 with 21 home runs and 58 RBI across 425 plate appearances.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe has had an all-or-nothing approach at the plate, as he smacked his fourth homer in his last 13 games Sunday. On the other hand, he also has a 29.2 percent strikeout rate in that span -- including three games with multiple strikeouts. Overall, Lowe has managed to record 20 home runs for the second consecutive season despite appearing in only 102 games.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Despite missing time with a finger injury, Lowe has homered three times in his last eight games. He needs one more long ball to reach 20 for the second consecutive season, and his .238 ISO is his highest mark since 2021.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Thursday against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe blasted his home run in the first inning, bringing his total on the season to 18. He failed to go yard for a 15-game stretch between Aug. 19 and Sept. 5, but he has now homered twice in his last five appearances despite dealing with inflammation of his middle finger. Lowe has only 367 plate appearances but is closing in on his second consecutive 20-homer campaign.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a triple and a walk Wednesday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe was out of the lineup for five straight games due to a finger injury but returned to hit second and serve as the designated hitter Wednesday. He should serve in a large-side platoon role at second base so long as he is fully healthy.

Lowe (finger) will serve as the Rays' designated hitter and No. 2 batter in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe makes his return to the lineup after he didn't start in any of the Rays' past five games while he contended with ligament inflammation on both sides of his middle finger. He made pinch-hitting appearances in both of the first two games of the series and even saw some action at second base Monday, but the Rays aren't quite ready to let him play a full game in the field just yet. Lowe will be eased back in as the Rays' designated hitter, but it shouldn't be long before he resumes playing the keystone regularly.

Lowe went 1-for-1 with a solo homer in Monday's 2-1 loss against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe returned after missing the last three games with an injury to his middle finger and hit a game-tying blast in the ninth off Carlos Estevez in his first at-bat back. It was Lowe's 17th homer of the year and his first since August 18. Injury issues have limited Lowe to just 90 games this season, but he's still delivering hitting .250 with a .798 OPS and 50 RBI for the year.

Lowe (finger) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game in Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Left-hander Cristopher Sanchez is toeing the rubber for the Phillies, so the lefty-hitting Lowe might not have started Monday even if his finger injury is no longer a concern. In any case, with Lowe on the bench for a fourth straight game, Jose Caballero will pick up another start at second base.
