The Rays reinstated Lowe (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Tampa Bay is off Monday, but the club went ahead and officially put Lowe back on its active roster ahead of their series against the Marlins, which begins Tuesday. Lowe has been limited to just 14 games this season because of a pair of oblique strains, but he's ready to roll after going 4-for-12 with a triple, three runs and two RBI over three rehab games with Triple-A Durham. He'll likely see most of his playing time in right field for the Rays but could also play some in center.

Lowe (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in Miami after he completed a rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham over the weekend, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe went 4-for-12 with a triple, three runs and two RBI over the three-game rehab assignment and played all nine innings in right field in Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old has made a swift recovery from his right oblique strain, a recurrence of a previous injury that had kept him on the shelf for the first five weeks of the season. Once activated, Lowe will likely move between center field, right field and designated hitter while occupying a prominent spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching. Lowe's impending return could result in the likes of Jose Siri and Richie Palacios losing out on playing time.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said Thursday that Lowe (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham this weekend and hopes to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday versus the Marlins, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Last week, Lowe made his second trip to the IL this season with a right oblique strain. The strain was deemed mild, allowing him to resume baseball activities ahead of this weekend's rehab assignment. If Lowe does indeed return Tuesday, he will have missed just a little more than the minimum 10 days.

Lowe (oblique) went through a full workout on the field and hit in the batting cage prior to Tuesday's game against the A's, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe felt good after the work and will now increase the intensity of his activity over the next several days, including hitting against a high-velocity pitching machine and throwing with full intensity. For now, Lowe is expecting to be back from the injured list when first eligible.

The Rays placed Lowe on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to May 23, due to a right oblique strain.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe left Wednesday's game against the Red Sox due to right side tightness, and an MRI on Thursday revealed an oblique strain for the 26-year-old. Lowe began the year on the injured list due to a Grade 1 right oblique strain, and he did not make his season debut until May 6. The severity of the oblique strain isn't known, but given that it's on the right side again, Lowe could be on the shelf beyond the 10-day minimum. He did tell reporters Saturday that he hopes to only stay on the IL for the minimum, and he expects to resume baseball activities Monday, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. For Saturday's game against the Royals, the lefty-hitting Richie Palacios will start in left field and bat in the leadoff spot against right-hander Brady Singer, while Jonny DeLuca and Jose Siri will serve in right and center field, respectively.

EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old departed Wednesday's contest with a right side strain and was sent for an MRI on Thursday, the results of which remain unknown. Lowe will sit for at least one game and should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Lowe will undergo an MRI on his right side Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Kevin Cash labeled Lowe's injury as a "right side strain," though the exact nature of the outfielder's issue will become known once his MRI results come back. Lowe landed on the injured list during spring training due to a right oblique strain and missed the first month-plus of the regular season, and it's possible he could require another stint on the IL due to his latest flareup.

Lowe was removed from Wednesday's game against the Red Sox due to right side tightness, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rays are officially marking Lowe as day-to-day, so the team doesn't seem too concerned with his injury. Tampa Bay doesn't play Thursday, which will give the 26-year an extra day to rest before potentially returning Friday without missing any games.

Lowe isn't in the Rays' lineup for Saturday's game versus Toronto, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe has struck out six times in his last two games, so the Rays will sit him down Saturday and give him a chance to clear his head. In his absence, Jonny DeLuca will start in right field while batting fifth.
