Lowe is absent from the Rays' lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second time in four games since Jose Siri returned from the injured list that Lowe has been on the bench. All four games have been against right-handed pitching. Lowe has not made a start versus a lefty all season.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Astros are starting right-hander Hunter Brown, but Brown has pronounced reverse splits in holding lefties to a .447 OPS and righties to a .771 OPS. The Rays will roll out an outfield of Randy Arozarena, Jose Siri and Manuel Margot from left to right Wednesday.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe will head to the bench after he saw a six-game hit streak come to an end with an 0-for-4 showing in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win. Luke Raley will check in for Lowe in right field and will bat seventh in the series finale.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe got the Rays off to a hot start with a two-run double in the opening frame. The knock also extended his hitting streak to six games, during which he's hit .409 with two homers, nine RBI and six runs scored. Lowe has also been active on the basepaths, as his stolen base in the fifth inning was his fourth of the season. He appears to be in the midst of a breakout, as he currently has a 228 wRC+ and .492 wOBA with a 16.4 percent strikeout rate across his first 55 plate appearances of the campaign.

Lowe went 2-for-5 with one double, three RBI, one run scored and one steal in Sunday's victory over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe extended Tampa Bay's lead to 3-0 with a two-run single in the first and made it 4-1 with an RBI double in the fifth. He also notched his second steal over his past three appearances after not recording one in either of his first 11 games, despite being on base 19 times during that stretch.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe took Yimi Garcia deep to straightaway center field to tally his third homer of the season. He's limited to a large-side platoon role but has been in the lineup eight of nine times the Rays have faced a right-handed pitcher. Lowe has earned that playing time, as he's tallied four multi-hit performances and also has seven RBI, seven runs scored and one stolen base through 36 plate appearances.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
After going 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-2 win, the lefty-hitting Lowe will take a seat while southpaw Chris Sale takes the hill for Boston. Tampa Bay is going with an all-righty-hitting outfield featuring Randy Arozarena, Manuel Margot and Harold Ramirez from left to right.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old launched his second homer of the year off Kaleb Ort in the seventh inning, while his second-inning steal was his first of the season. Lowe has started three of four games since Jose Siri (hamstring) was injured, and he's making a strong case for consistent playing time even after the Rays' outfield is fully healthy. He's batting .385 (10-for-26) with four doubles, five runs and six RBI in seven games.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
For the first time all season, the lefty-hitting Lowe will take a seat versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Nick Pivetta). While Jose Siri (hamstring) is on the 10-day injured list and the rest of Tampa Bay's regulars are available, Lowe looks like he'll have to battle the likes of Harold Ramirez and Luke Raley for one spot in the lineup against righties. Ramirez will serve as Tampa Bay's designated hitter Monday, while Raley gets the nod in right field.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two RBI on Sunday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe drew a two-out walk with the bases loaded in the sixth inning, and he followed that up with an RBI single two frames later. He has been a key part of the Rays' lineup early on this season, starting in four of five games against right-handed pitching. Lowe has delivered with that opportunity by collecting eight hits in 24 plate appearances while most importantly striking out only three times in that span.
