Lowe went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday extended Lowe's extra-base hit streak to a modest three games, and it comes after the veteran slugger had gone just 1-for-19 in his previous five outings. Lowe entered the day with a poor 30.3 percent strikeout rate in 2025, but he's still slashing a solid .248/.325/.460 with six home runs, six doubles, 24 RBI and one stolen base over 126 plate appearances (31 games) this season. The first baseman should remain a strong source of power for fantasy managers going forward.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 7-0 win over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe got the Nationals on the board in the first inning with a two-run homer off Dean Kremer, though the latter struck out swinging in each of his next three at-bats. It was Lowe's fourth homer of the season and first since April 4 against the Diamondbacks. The 29-year-old first baseman is slashing .293/.370/.500 with one stolen base, seven runs scored and 19 RBI across 92 plate appearances this season.

Lowe has been working through an upper respiratory infection, but he is aiming to serve as the designated hitter in Sunday's series finale against Miami, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe was scratched from Friday's lineup due to an illness, but he was able to return to the lineup Saturday as the DH and went 0-for-2 with two walks and two RBI in a 7-6 loss to the Marlins. The 29-year-old should be in the lineup Sunday and hopes to return to his usual spot at first base for Monday's series opener against the Pirates.

Lowe (illness) collected three RBI with a bases-loaded, pinch-hit double in Friday's win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The first baseman was held out of the starting lineup due to an illness, but Lowe looked plenty fit when he came to the plate in the eighth inning and put the Nationals in the lead for good with a two-bagger into the left-field corner off Anthony Bender. Through his first 13 games with Washington, the 29-year-old is slashing .261/.320/.543 with three homers and 12 RBI.

Lowe was removed from Friday's starting lineup against the Marlins due to an illness, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Lowe under the weather, Josh Bell will shift to first base, James Wood will serve as the designated hitter and Alex Call will start in left field. It's unclear if Lowe's illness is severe enough for him to be in jeopardy of missing the following two games of the series against Miami.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with an RBI double and three strikeouts in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Lowe went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Lowe extended the Nationals' lead to five in the sixth inning with a 421-foot blast to dead center off Aaron Nola. The 29-year-old delivered a stellar opening series, racking up six hits, two homers and five RBI against one of the league's top pitching staffs.

Lowe went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in a loss to the Phillies on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The first baseman connected for his first homer of the year, a two-run shot with the Nationals down 11-3 in the eighth inning. Lowe added an RBI single in the bottom of the ninth, but it was too little, too late. In 2022, Lowe blasted 27 home runs for the Rangers, but his power numbers dipped to 17 and 16 in the two seasons that followed. Now with a new team, he'll hope to find his power stroke again in 2025.

Lowe went 1-for-3 with a strikeout in Sunday's spring game against the Rays and is hitting .200 through 13 Grapefruit League contests.
EDGE Analysis
The first baseman hasn't been a strong spring performer throughout his career with a .227 average, so the poor numbers don't necessarily mean much. After being acquired from the Rangers in December, Lowe will bring some stability to first base in Washington after posting a .265/.361/.401 slash line with 16 homers and 69 RBI last year.
