Brandon Lowe Returns Against Yankees

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brandon Lowe (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup on Monday against New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole, serving as the designated hitter and batting second in the order. Lowe sat out of Sunday's game with shoulder soreness, but it turned out to be nothing serious and he'll be back in there a day later. He's off to a rough start in August, batting just .182 (6-for-33) with a homer, eight RBI and three runs scored in eight games played, so fantasy managers may want to think twice before starting him in a tough matchup on Monday against Cole. Overall on the year, Lowe is hitting .237/.309/.429 with eight homers, 24 RBI, 29 runs scored and one stolen base in 198 at-bats.

Brandon Lowe Dealing With Shoulder Soreness

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (shoulder) was held out of each of the team's last two games due to shoulder soreness. As of now, it doesn't sound like anything major for Lowe and he should be considered day-to-day. Yu Chang got the start at the keystone on both Saturday and Sunday with Lowe out. Lowe has been struggling at the plate so far in August, slashing .182/.250/.303 across eight appearances.

Brandon Lowe Absent On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Lowe will take a seat against left-hander DL Hall. In his place, Yu Chang will bat leadoff and cover second base for Saturday's contest. Lowe is hitting .275/.333/.450 with three homers and 12 RBI since returning from the injured list. His bat appears to be heating up, so this might be the time to snag him, assuming he's available in fantasy leagues.

Brandon Lowe Activated And Starting Against Orioles

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) has been activated from the 60-day injured list and is back in the starting lineup on Saturday against Baltimore Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer. Lowe is starting at the keystone and batting second in his return. The 28-year-old has been out since mid-May due to a stress reaction in his lower back, but he should be a regular in Tampa's lineup for the second half of the season at second base. Before his injury, he was hitting just .212/.293/.415 with five home runs, 12 RBI, 20 runs scored and a stolen base in 118 at-bats, but he could produce better results at the plate the rest of the way if he's past his back issues. Lowe is worth picking up if he's available on your league's waiver wire.

Brandon Lowe Back In The Lineup For Triple-A Durham

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brandon Lowe (head, back) was able to work out on Saturday and is back in the lineup with Triple-A Durham on Sunday, per beat writer Marc Topkin.

He was pulled from the contest as a precaution and the good news is that he's back in the lineup on Sunday with no side effects. The Rays expect to have the hard-hitting infielder back after the All-Star break.

Brandon Lowe Removed During Rehab Game

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brandon Lowe (head, back) was removed during Thursday's rehab game with Triple-A Durham. The left-handed slugger was struck in the back of the helmet during a plate appearance in the third inning. As a precaution, the team decided to pull Lowe from the contest. The 28-year-old is working his way back from a lower back injury that was kept him sidelined since mid-May. The hope is that the Rays will get Lowe back in the lineup after the All-Star break. This incident doesn't sound like something that is going to stall his rehab assignment.

Brandon Lowe To Start Rehab Assignment Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) will start a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Thursday, and the expectation is that he'll return to the majors after the All-Star break. Lowe was moved to the 60-day injured list on Tuesday, but it won't affect his timetable for a return after he completes his rehab assignment. The 28-year-old hasn't played for the Rays since May 15 and he has struggled at the plate when healthy, slashing .212/.293/.415 with five home runs, 12 RBI, 20 runs scored and one stolen base in 133 plate appearances over 32 games played. Vidal Brujan, Taylor Walls and Isaac Paredes have all seen action at the keystone with Lowe sidelined.

Brandon Lowe Begins Taking Batting Practice

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) has begun taking batting practice and he is "pain-free," according to Rays manager Kevin Cash. However, Cash also added that the team still needs to plan out a rehab calendar for him and that "it's still going to be some time." Lowe has been out since mid-May due to a stress reaction in his lower back. He suffered a setback during his recovery and had been shut down for a little while before resuming baseball activities. We're still without a clear timeline for the 27-year-old, but for now, it's at least good to see that he isn't experiencing pain while swinging.

Brandon Lowe Still Weeks Away

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) has been given permission to start doing some rotational exercises and he hopes to hit off a tee for the first time this Friday. However, skipper Kevin Cash said "it's going to take a couple weeks" for Lowe to move through stages of hitting, running and fielding drills, and he'll likely need to go on a rehab assignment after that. Lowe is recovering from a stress reaction in his lower back and will be out for at least another few weeks. Isaac Paredes and Vidal Brujan have been splitting time at the keystone with Lowe sidelined. Before Lowe's injury, he was hitting .212/.293/.415 with five home runs, 12 RBI, 20 runs scored and one stolen base in 133 plate appearances over 32 games played.
