Lowe went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
All of Tampa Bay's offense came on homers Friday, with Lowe's eighth-inning shot off Michael King looking like the game-winner until Anthony Rizzo answered in the bottom of the frame. Lowe has gone yard in back-to-back games, and the 25-year-old outfielder is up to nine homers in 31 contests while slashing .328/.374/.660 with six steals, 22 runs and 28 RBI.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
While he's upholding a robust .989 OPS on the season while also contributing on the basepaths (five steals in six attempts), the lefty-hitting Lowe should play against right-handers more often than not, though he'll occasionally be the odd man out of the lineup due to the Rays' logjam in the outfield and at designated hitter. He'll find himself on the bench Sunday while the Rays deploy Harold Ramirez at DH and roll out an outfield of Randy Arozarena, Jose Siri and Manuel Margot from left to right against Yankees ace Gerrit Cole.

Lowe is absent from the Rays' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The left-handed hitting Lowe has now been on the bench for three of the last six games, despite the Rays facing right-handed pitchers throughout that span. The sporadic participation notably coincides with Jose Siri's return from the injured list. Lowe is batting a robust .342/.398/.632 with five homers and five steals, but he's falling short filling an everyday role. He's yet to start a game against a lefty.

Lowe went 0-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 12-9 loss to the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe managed to go hitless for just the second time over his last 12 games but still found ways to make an impact after walking to lead off the eighth and ninth innings and coming around to score on both occasions. The 25-year-old failed to deliver to the hype around him a season ago, but seems to have figured things out in the early going, slashing .342/.398/.632 with five homers, 18 RBI, 17 runs, five steals and a 7:17 BB:K over 83 plate appearances.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with one homer and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe was a major part of the Rays' 10-run seventh inning as he singled and homered. The 25-year-old has a hit in 10 of his last 11 games. Lowe is producing an excellent fantasy season, as he has five home runs, four stolen bases, and 18 RBI in 20 games.

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.
