The Rays reinstated Lowe (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The second baseman landed on the shelf just before the All-Star break due to oblique soreness and is ready to rejoin the Rays for the start of the second half. In 31 games since the start of June, Lowe had been one of the hotter hitters in baseball with eight homers and a .319/.366/.575 slash line.

Rays president of baseball operations Erik Neander said that Lowe (oblique) will be re-evaluated after a workout Thursday to determine whether he will be activated from the 10-day injured list before Friday's game versus the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe hasn't played since July 6 after tweaking his left oblique, finally landing on the IL on July 11. The Rays labeled the injury as tightness rather than a strain, seemingly giving him a better chance at a brief absence. If Lowe gets through Thursday's workout without any hiccups, he should skip a rehab assignment and rejoin the Rays' lineup Friday.

The Rays placed Lowe on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 8, due to left oblique tightness.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old hasn't seen the field since suffering the injury Sunday in Minnesota, and he'll spend the final series before the All-Star break on the injured list. Lowe will be unable to take part in the Midsummer Classic as a result, but he'll be eligible to be reinstated for the start of the second half July 18 versus Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Thursday will mark the fourth consecutive start Lowe has missed since tweaking his left side during Sunday's contest. The Rays haven't indicated that the 31-year-old will need to spend time on the IL, though that could change if he's unable to return to the starting nine soon. While Lowe continues to recover, Taylor Walls will pick up another start at the keystone and bat ninth.

EDGE Analysis

Though Lowe downplayed the left side injury after he was forced out of Sunday's 7-5 win over the Twins, he'll remain on the bench for a third straight contest Wednesday. Taylor Walls will fill in at the keystone for Lowe, whose 20-game hitting streak came to an end Sunday as he struck out in his lone at-bat.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old will sit for a second consecutive contest after leaving Sunday's game against the Twins due to left side soreness. It remains to be seen if Lowe will require a trip to the injured list, but a move to the IL wouldn't be surprising with the All-Star break less than a week away.

Lowe (side) is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Detroit, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

After exiting in the third inning of Sunday's win over the Twins due to left side soreness, Lowe isn't ready to start in the series opener in Detroit. According to Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun, Lowe said Monday that while his condition has improved since Sunday and he hasn't received an MRI, he'll need to see how his side responds to swinging the bat in addition to other pregame work before the Rays determine whether he'll need to go on the injured list. With the All-Star break looming, Tampa Bay could have some motivation to take a cautious approach with the veteran second baseman.

Lowe struck out in his lone at-bat in Sunday's game against the Twins before he was removed in the third inning due to left side soreness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rays didn't clarify whether Lowe suffered the injury during his first-inning at-bat or during his two innings in the field. Regardless, Lowe's early exit ended up spelling an end to his 20-game hitting streak, which tied a franchise record. According to Topkin, Jose Caballero had been scheduled to receive Sunday off while he dealt with right arm soreness, but he was pressed into action at second base following Lowe's departure. Consider Lowe day-to-day until Tampa Bay provides another update on his status.
