Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored during Monday's 7-1 victory over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe started the home portion of the game with a bang, hitting a lead-off home run in the first inning. It was the fourth home run of the season for the outfielder, who has now hit safely in three straight games. The 27-year-old is slashing .241/.317/.407 in 29 games this season.

Lowe went 0-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base Wednesday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe has served as the Rays' primary leadoff hitter against right-handed pitching since May 28 and has struggled to reach base consistently. Across 13 games, he's gone 10-for-49 with a 29.1 percent strikeout rate, although he has also scored nine runs and stolen three bases. Given his .291 on-base percentage, the Rays could decide to shift Lowe down the order, but he's proven to be a strong fantasy contributor from the top spot despite a poor batting average.

Lowe went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and three total runs in Saturday's 16-3 romp over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe's homer was a two-run shot in the seventh inning, and he added two singles for his second three-hit performance of the campaign. The veteran outfielder extended his on-base streak to eight games, and during that stretch he's batting .387 with two homers, three RBI, 10 runs and two stolen bases. Lowe's slash line is up to .327/.393/.545 on the season, though it's a relatively small sample size (61 plate appearances) since he missed about six weeks earlier in the campaign due to an oblique injury.

Lowe isn't part of the starting lineup for Monday's game against Minnesota, Brian Murphy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe's streak of five consecutive starts comes to an end Monday, and he'll give up right field duties to Christopher Morel to kick off a three-game set against the Twins. Lowe went 5-for-19 with a home run, a steal and two doubles during that five-game stretch.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe led off the fifth inning with his second homer of the season. He has only a small sample this season, but he has gone 7-for-26 with four runs scored and three RBI across seven games since being activated from the injured list. Lowe has also started six times in that span, including once against a lefty.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe had started in each of the Rays' four games since being activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, going 5-for-17 with a home run, a double and a walk. Now that he's healthy again after missing about a month and a half while recovering from the oblique strain he suffered Opening Day, Lowe should play on a near-everyday basis, though the Rays may occasionally hold him out of the lineup against lefties such as the Astros' Colton Gordon, who is on the mound Monday.

Lowe went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe landed on the injured list after straining his oblique Opening Day. The outfielder was eased back into action as the designated hitter Thursday, but he'll be a welcome addition for the Rays, who are battling numerous outfield absences. Lowe also hit leadoff, where his speed on the basepaths should be fruitful once he's back in a rhythm. The 27-year-old hit .241 with a .693 OPS over 106 games in 2024, but he hit .292 with an .835 OPS, 20 home runs and 32 steals in 2023, so there's significant potential here if he can put it all together.

The Rays activated Lowe (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Thursday. He will start at designated hitter and serve as the Rays' leadoff batter in the team's series finale in Toronto, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rays had been expected to wait until Friday to activate Lowe, but with Travis Jankowski (groin) landing on the IL, the club has brought back Lowe a day early. Lowe has been out since late March after straining his oblique Opening Day, but he looked sharp in six rehab games, hitting two home runs and stealing one base with a 6:7 BB:K. Though the 27-year-old will be eased back in Thursday as the team's DH, he should eventually settle in as the Rays' regular right fielder against right-handed pitching.

Lowe (oblique) could be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of the Rays' series in Miami against the Marlins this weekend, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe has gone 2-for-9 with a 4:3 K:BB in his first three rehab games with Triple-A Durham. He will remain with Durham for a couple more days before rejoining the Rays' active roster this weekend if all goes well. Lowe has been out since late March after suffering a Grade 2 right oblique strain Opening Day.
