Rays' Josh Lowe: Expected back Saturday

Lowe (oblique) is expected to be activated from the injured list Saturday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Lowe has been on a rehab assignment for roughly a week, but he was with the big-league club in Chicago on Friday. He's projected to be activated Saturday to make his season debut and will almost certainly occupy a prominent spot in a struggling Rays' lineup. It will also be notable where Lowe plays defensively, as he started three games in center field during his rehab assignment.
