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 Brandon Lowe for Wednesday's contest. Everson Pereira will step in for Josh Lowe in right field and will bat sixth.

Lowe is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Lowe has been playing against most lefties, but he'll take a seat in this one as the Cubs send southpaw Matthew Boyd to the bump. Jake Mangum will shift over to right field and Everson Pereira will patrol center field in Friday's series opener.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe swatted a two-run home run off Yoendrys Gomez in the second inning, his second home run in three games. The long ball was Lowe's 11th of the campaign, surpassing his 2024 total of 10 homers. In his last 16 games, Lowe is 18-for-58 (.310) with four home runs, four doubles, four stolen bases and a 3:15 BB:K.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe drew a walk in the second inning before putting the Rays on the board with a solo homer in the fifth. The 27-year-old has picked up four multi-hit efforts in his past eight games, piling up six extra-base hits, eight RBI, eight runs scored and a steal in that span. On the season, he's slashing .243/.309/.404 with 10 homers, 37 RBI, 53 runs scored and 17 steals across 373 plate appearances.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with two home runs and four RBI in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old outfielder gave the Rays all the offense they would need when he took Jake Irvin deep in the first inning for a three-run blast, but Lowe added a bit of insurance with a solo shot off the right-hander in the fourth. The performance snapped a 22-game homer drought for Lowe, and through 85 contests on the season he's up to nine long balls and 16 steals to go along with a .236/.301/.387 slash line.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a single, a run scored and two stolen bases during Sunday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe's two steals tied his career high, a feat he had accomplished just two times before. The 26-year-old now has 16 steals on the campaign, and he's swiped a bag in three consecutive contests. In August, Lowe is 13-for-61 (.213) with five doubles, eight runs and eight stolen bases.

Lowe went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe has gone 1-for-8 with a walk and five strikeouts over two games since returning from right oblique tightness. He wasn't hitting all that well prior to the injury, batting just .154 (6-for-39) over the 11 games before he stepped out of the lineup for a few days. The outfielder has offered mediocre category coverage this year, posting 13 steals, seven home runs, 29 RBI, 40 runs scored and a .226/.293/.362 slash line over 78 contests.

Lowe (oblique) will start in right field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game versus the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe has been held out of the previous three contests due to right oblique tightness, but he's feeling much better and will give it a go in Wednesday's series finale. The outfielder will enter play Wednesday slashing just .174/.220/.261so far in August.

Lowe (oblique) said that he expects to return to the Tampa Bay lineup for Wednesday's series finale versus the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. "I'm good to go," Lowe said prior to Tuesday's 13-3 loss. "I came in [Monday] on the off day, just checked some boxes, swung, moved around, and I feel good."

EDGE Analysis

Though Lowe missed out on a third straight start Tuesday while managing a tight right oblique, he's demonstrated enough improvement in his recovery over the last couple of days for the Rays to feel confident he'll be ready to go Wednesday. Lowe had previously strained the same oblique Opening Day and missed nearly two months of action before returning May 15. Lowe has avoided any prolonged absences since then, but he's still been a disappointment this season with a .229/.295/.369 slash line to go with seven home runs, 12 stolen bases, 40 runs and 29 RBI across 309 plate appearances.

Lowe (oblique) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, aRyan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe will take a seat for the second day in a row after he was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's 2-1 win when he felt his right oblique tighten up while taking swings in the batting cage prior to the game. According to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Lowe said he doesn't expect to require a stint on the injured list due to the oblique issue, though the Rays' plans for him could change if he's unable to return to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees following Monday's team off day.
