Josh Lowe News
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe is not in Saturday's lineup as the Rays continue a three-game set against the Toronto Blue Jays. Lowe made his season debut on May 6 after suffering an oblique strain and a hamstring issue this offseason. Through his first ten games of the season, the 26-year-old has a .263/.333/.526 slash line with two long balls. As a result, Jonny DeLuca will get the starting nod in right field and bat in the five-hole. DeLuca has been swinging a hot bat over his past six games with a .364/.462/.455 slash line. However, the right-handed bat does face Kevin Gausman today and is best to fade in DFS. Even though Gausman has struggled with a 4.95 ERA this season, he has been dominant against right-handed batters with a 23:4 K:BB ratio, suggesting that DeLuca may have a difficult task awaiting him this afternoon.
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's victory versus the Boston Red Sox. The home run was the second of the season for Lowe. The outfielder began his season on the injured list with an oblique injury, but has hit .294 with a pair of homers and three RBI in his first 34 at-bats since being activated on May 6. Lowe has consistently hit second or third this season for the Rays and should have plenty of opportunities to put up power numbers. He also is capable of stealing bases with 32 in 2023. The 26-year-old offers help across the board and should be rostered in most formats moving forward.
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe went 2-for-4 with a walk in Tuesday's extra innings loss to the Boston Red Sox. One of Lowe's hits would be a solo home run off Nick Pivetta in the top of the first inning. The homer would be the first of the season for Lowe, who returned from the injured list last week. Since his return, Lowe has gone 8-for-25 with three runs scored. Lowe has hit second or third in every game since his return and could provide managers with a good blend of speed and pop moving forward after hitting 20 homers and swiping 32 bags in 2023. He is worth rostering in most formats.

Once a highly touted prospect, Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe spent a rather unexpected chunk of the 2022 season in Triple-A due in part to his high K% of 33.3% at the major league level. With the K% under control in 2023 (24.8%) and regular playing time, Lowe could have the season the Rays envisioned when they drafted him in the first round in 2016. The former 13th overall pick posted a .292-20-83-71-32 season with a WOBA of .354 and wRC+ of 131 in 501 PA. It's still being determined if he can replicate that in 2024, as RosterResource currently has him projected as part of a platoon. The lefty's splits were much better facing RHP, with a .300 AVG, .362 WOBA, and 136 wRC+ versus a .238 AVG, .305 WOBA, and wRC+ of 97 against LHP. As it stands, FGDC projections have him underwhelming compared to last season, with a .258-18-71-68-22 line, a WOBA of .328, and a wRC+ of 113. NFBC ADP has him going around pick 75. However, RotoBaller is a bit more cautious, with a rank of 81. With a below-average Contact% (72.3%), above-average SwStr% (14.7%), and BABIP of .357 in 2023, some expected regression in 2024 is likely rightfully justified.
