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.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles with ligament inflammation on both sides of his middle finger, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rays are trying to get it to "calm down," per manager Kevin Cash, but right now they're unsure how long it's going to take before Lowe can return to action. Lowe had his finger wrapped prior to Friday's game and will see a doctor for further evaluation. Jose Caballero is starting at second base Friday against right-hander Dean Kremer, with Taylor Walls at shortstop.
