Lowe is starting in center field and batting sixth for Wednesday's game in Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe doesn't get many starts against left-handed pitching, but he's in there against Dallas Keuchel on Wednesday with the Rays running short on center field options with Jose Siri (hand) out. The left-handed-hitting Lowe has just a .527 OPS in limited chances versus southpaws this season.

Lowe went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe played a key role in Tampa Bay's victory and continued his surge to close the season. Since the All-Star break, he's maintained a 21.7 percent strikeout while recording six homers, 23 runs scored, 25 RBI and nine stolen bases across 161 plate appearances. Lowe still sits against the majority of left-handed pitchers -- cutting into his count stat upside -- but he's taken a significant step forward in skills this season.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Monday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe tallied his 28th stolen base of the season and has been particularly aggressive and efficient on the basepaths of late. Across his last 10 starts, he's hit .351 while swiping four bases and scoring six runs. His performance and playing time dipped in July, but Lowe has bounced back by hitting .337 with four homers and 15 RBI across his last 26 games.
