Player Outlook
Brandon Lowe is entering a crossroads with Tampa Bay as the guaranteed years of his contract extension are over and he is now playing on a year-to-year basis on two club options. 2021 remains the high-water mark for Lowe's career, as he has struggled with injuries in each of the past three seasons. He has several measures in the 80th percentile or better but the swing and miss rates limit the batting average ceiling as Lowe has failed to hit over .250 since 2020. Lowe is about as steady as they come statistically, but his medical issues have included an oblique strain, a toe infection, a finger injury, a fractured kneecap, and a stress reaction in his back in recent seasons. The club did use him at first base while his foot bothered him this past summer and perhaps that becomes a new full-time home for him should Yandy Diaz get traded. Lowe's fantasy value would further decline moving off second base unless he solves his health troubles and/or finds a better home park.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Homers in consecutive games

    Rotowire
    Lowe went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta. The wind aided Lowe, but he managed to take Chris Sale yard in the third inning. The performance was notable because it was a homer off of one of the best left-handed pitchers in the league and because it was his second consecutive game with a long ball. Even on a platoon-heavy team, Lowe projects to be the Rays' everyday second baseman while occupying a premium spot in the lineup.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Club option picked up

    Rotowire
    The Rays exercised Lowe's $10 million club option for 2025 on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe slashed .244/.311/.473 with 21 home runs over 425 plate appearances for Tampa Bay this season.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Rejoining lineup Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Lowe (finger) will serve as the Rays' designated hitter and No. 2 batter in Wednesday's game against the Phillies. Lowe makes his return to the lineup after he didn't start in any of the Rays' past five games while he contended with ligament inflammation on both sides of his middle finger. He made pinch-hitting appearances in both of the first two games of the series and even saw some action at second base Monday, but the Rays aren't quite ready to let him play a full game in the field just yet. Lowe will be eased back in as the Rays' designated hitter, but it shouldn't be long before he resumes playing the keystone regularly.
