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.

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.

Lowe was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Giants with right oblique tightness and is day-to-day, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe has been removed from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus San Francisco, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe was originally penciled in to play right field and bat sixth, but he was scratched about an hour before the start of the contest. It's not immediately clear if his removal was due to an injury or for another reason. In Lowe's stead, Jake Mangum is sliding over from center field to right while Everson Pereira is getting a start in center.

Lowe has also gotten more aggressive on the basepaths, as six of his 12 stolen bases for the campaign have come in his last 15 games.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Wednesday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe has struggled for most of the season but has shown some modest signs of turning things around of late. He has at least one hit in six of his last seven games, going 8-for-25 with a home run, five RBI, two runs scored and one stolen base. Lowe still has only seven home runs with a .152 ISO across 255 plate appearances on the campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe has had a poor July, but he's on a strong five-game run. He's gone 6-for-17 with three RBI and a stolen base in that span, with Monday's pilfer marking his seventh of the season. Lowe has settled into the fifth spot in the order against right-handed pitching but still sits against most lefties.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe tied things up at 2-2 in the sixth inning, when he took the first pitch he saw of the at-bat from Mitch Spence deep to center field for a solo homer. It was Lowe's sixth home run of the season, three of which have come since June 16. He has reached base safely in seven of his last eight games, and over that span he has gone 13-for-30 (.433) with one steal, two home runs and three RBI.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Unless he's called upon off the bench to pitch hit, the left-handed-hitting Lowe will put his five-game hitting streak on hold Monday while the Athletics send southpaw Jacob Lopez to the hill. Jose Caballero will start in right field in place of Lowe.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a double Saturday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe has multiple hits in each of his last four games, going 9-for-15 with two doubles, a home run, two RBI and four runs scored in that span. That hot stretch gave him the chance to move up the lineup, as he went from batting sixth in six consecutive games to the leadoff spot Saturday.
