Lowe is not in Saturday's lineup against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe is strictly only started against righties, and he even sits against against some opposite-handed pitchers, such as in Saturday's matchup against Hunter Brown. Manuel Margot will start in right field and bat eighth.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Lowe will sit out against a right-hander (Tyler Wells) for the second time in three days while continuing to languish thus far in July (.167/.234/.286 slash line, 38.3 percent strikeout rate). Manuel Margot will replace Lowe as the Rays' starting right fielder.

Lowe is absent from the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Orioles, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The O's are starting right-hander Kyle Bradish, but the left-handed hitting Lowe nonetheless finds himself on the bench to start. Luke Raley -- who also bats left-handed -- will be in right field.

Lowe went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
It was a quiet day for Tampa Bay's offense, but Lowe did his best to carry the squad with two of the team's five hits. One of those was a solo shot to center field in the second inning that temporarily put the Rays up 2-0. Lowe also nabbed his 20th stolen base of the campaign, which has added significant value to his fantasy profile after he stole just four bases over 54 games prior to this season.

Lowe was placed on the family medical emergency list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Players may spend between three and seven days on the bereavement list. That means Lowe's first half is over, but he'll be back no later than the second game after the break. Jonathan Aranda was recalled to take his place on the roster.

EDGE Analysis
With left-hander Cristopher Sanchez starting on the mound for Philadelphia, the left-handed bat of Lowe will retreat to the bench to begin Thursday's game. Manuel Margot will start in right field and bat sixth while Lowe sits.

Lowe went 3-for-5 with one double, a solo homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 15-4 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe continues his breakout year, posting career-highs across the board. Although this was the outfielder's only homer in the month of June, he's on a six-game hit streak, with two of those being three-hit games. The 25-year-old only appears to be scratching the surface of his potential.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Thursday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe delivered a two-RBI single in the third inning, and he's now driven five runs across his last three games. He also struck out three times, marking his sixth multi-punchout performance in his last 10 starts. Despite having plenty of depth, the Rays have shown the willingness to take the good with the bad, as Lowe has retained a consistent large-side platoon role.
