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 went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base Wednesday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe drove in a run with a ground-rule double in the first inning and then stole second base in the ninth frame. He has struggled to get on track at the plate for much of the season, though he has a double in three consecutive games. 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.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a walk and a stolen base Monday against the Yankees.

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.

Lowe went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe smacked an RBI single in the fourth inning and was perfect at the plate until his final at-bat. Over his past 10 games, the 27-year-old has hit safely seven times with three extra-base hits, five RBI, nine runs scored and two steals. On the season, he's slashing .254/.333/.403 with four homers, 13 RBI, 25 runs scored and six stolen bases across 151 plate appearances.

Lowe 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a walk and three runs scored Friday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe has had an up-and-down June but has at least one hit in six of his last seven games. He scored multiple runs in a contest for the second time in that span Friday, and he's gone 7-for-23 with one home run, four RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base since June 13.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe will head to the bench while the Rays go with a right-handed-heavy lineup featuring just one lefty hitter (Jonathan Aranda) to counter Orioles southpaw Trevor Rogers. Jose Caballero will fill in for Lowe in right field and will bat seventh.
