Lowe went 0-for-2 with two walks in Friday's win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe was not originally slated to begin the season on the major-league roster, though that changed once the Rays dealt Austin Meadows to Detroit. Though he hit seventh in the order while making his debut, it appears that Lowe will have everyday playing time to begin the season as he was in the Opening Day lineup despite facing a left-handed pitcher. While it's not clear how Lowe's skillset will translate to the big leagues immediately, he has hit for power and stolen double-digit bases throughout his minor-league career.

Lowe will bat seventh and serve as the designated hitter in Friday's season opener against Baltimore, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's rare to see someone capable of playing center field stuck in a designated hitter role, but the Rays will roll with a trio of strong defensive outfielders in Randy Arozarena, Kevin Kiermaier and Manuel Margot for their first game of the year, leaving no room for Lowe. The fact that they want Lowe's bat in the lineup anyway, even against the left-handed John Means, is an encouraging sign for the rookie's playing time. Lowe hit .291/.381/.535 with 22 homers and 26 steals in 111 games for Triple-A Durham last season and should be able to contribute across the board if he's given enough at-bats.

The Rays recalled Lowe from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, making his addition to the Opening Day roster official.

EDGE Analysis

One of the organization's top prospects, Lowe was originally optioned to Triple-A Durham on March 31 so he could continue to play on an everyday basis to begin the season, but an opportunity on the big-league roster reopened after Tampa Bay traded Austin Meadows to Detroit on Monday. Even with Meadows exiting the outfield and designated hitter picture, the Rays are still overflowing with quality options at either spot, which could result in the lefty-hitting Lowe settling for strong-side platoon work or part-time duty. Even if he ends up sitting two or three times per week, Lowe should still receive enough starts to justify a roster spot in most 12-team mixed leagues. The 24-year-old put his excellent speed, plus power and strong plate skills on full display at Triple-A Durham in 2021, producing a .916 OPS while walking at a 13.2 percent clip and going 26-for-26 on stolen-base attempts.

Lowe will be called up by Tampa Bay and join the team beginning on Opening Day, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe was optioned to Triple-A after he hit .190 with two RBI, a stolen base and six strikeouts in eight Grapefruit League games this spring. However, he will be recalled to the majors with the trade of Austin Meadows to Detroit. Lowe isn't likely to be called up if he isn't going to get significant playing time. Lowe is one of Tampa Bay's top prospects and has 20/20 potential with his combination of speed and power.

Lowe was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe was competing for a depth role in Tampa Bay's outfield this spring, but he'll report to the minors to begin the year after he hit .190 with two RBI, a stolen base and six strikeouts in eight Grapefruit League games this spring. However, he'll likely be in consideration for a major-league roster spot at some point in 2022 as long as he performs well in Durham.

Lowe was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Randy Arozarena getting activated from the paternity list, Lowe predictably got sent back to the minors. Lowe had a single, a walk and a stolen base in two plate appearances while playing sparingly during his first cup of coffee in the majors.

Lowe went 1-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in his big-league debut Wednesday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe, who batted eighth and got the start in right field, walked and stole second in the third inning, then he pocketed his first career hit with an infield single in the fifth. He was removed for pinch-hitter Yandy Diaz prior to his next plate appearance. Lowe was recalled from Triple-A Durham earlier in the day after Randy Arozarena (personal) was placed on the paternity list, so it could be a brief stint with the big club if Lowe is once again the corresponding roster move upon Arozarena's return.

Lowe is starting Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowe was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday after Randy Arozarena (personal) was placed on the paternity list, and he'll make his major-league debut in right field. The 23-year-old isn't guaranteed a spot on the active roster once Arozarena returns, but he'll get a chance to make an impact at the top level in the near future.

The Rays called up Lowe from Triple-A Durham ahead of Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, though he may not be up in the big leagues for long, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

One of the best outfield prospects in the game, the 6-foot-4 lefty hitter has plus power, plus speed and plays excellent defense. He hit .282/.369/.540 with 21 home runs, 24 steals, a 26.7 percent strikeout rate and a 12.4 percent walk rate in 98 games for Durham. While Lowe's skillset is very exciting for fantasy, his situation is not. The Rays already have Austin Meadows, Randy Arozarena, Kevin Kiermaier, Manuel Margot and Jordan Luplow as healthy outfield options while Nelson Cruz clogs the designated hitter spot. Passan's note that Lowe might not be up for long is not a guarantee, but it's hard to see how he would play more than a few times per week as things stand.

Lowe hit a walkoff two-run homer for Triple-A Durham on Thursday and is now batting .275/.353/.552 with 20 homers and 19 steals across 83 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

That marked his third straight game with a homer, and he's actually gone four consecutive games without a strikeout -- a positive sign, as Lowe has whiffed fairly prolifically throughout his career in the minors. He may never hit for great average, but Lowe's homers and steals should make him a valuable fantasy asset once he finds his way to the majors -- whenever that may be.
