Rays' Second Base Woes Intensify as Lowe Lands on IL
The Tampa Bay Rays' roster took a hit with Brandon Lowe's unexpected detour to the 10-day injured list. Fans felt the tension rise when Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times dropped the news that Lowe was benched due to a Grade 1 strain of his right oblique, discovered post-MRI today.
"Oblique strains are a hitter’s nightmare, often sidelining them for weeks, and Lowe’s case is no exception. He last graced the field on April 7, and while they can backdate his IL stint to Monday, don’t expect a quick comeback."
- The patience of Lowe's devotees is put to the test as this marks his first oblique injury, although the IL is familiar territory for him. Lowe's history books are inked with stints for back inflammation, a knee fracture in 2023, not to mention the previous season's back setback due to a stress reaction.
The Impact of Lowe's Absence
The Rays' infield landscape looks different with Lowe out. Curtis Mead, who recently took over second base, is likely to soak in most of Lowe’s playing time. Meanwhile, Amed Rosario looms as a potential pick from the bench, despite predominantly guarding right field lately. Lowe's absence is one more name to the Rays' growing injured list, which now encompasses talents like Taylor Walls and Josh Lowe.
Consistently above average in terms of wRC+, Lowe's bat will surely be missed. His 2023 performance boasted 21 homers and a solid .231/.328/.443 slash line. This hit to the Rays lineup arrives as Lowe's early-season struggle lingered, with just five hits in 27 at-bats.

Oh No, Not Again! Rays' Infielder Benched by Injury
Just when you thought Brandon Lowe was heating up the bases, fate throws a curveball - the Rays' second baseman is on the 10-day IL, folks! Believe it or not, a Grade 1 right oblique strain snagged him right out of the game. And guess what? They can backdate his sit-out time to April 10, talk about a small win!
Lowe's been down this road before, tagging time off for back issues and even a season-pausing knee fracture last year. Seems like this guy's magnetic to ailments, but hey, his bat magic stays uninterrupted, lobbing 21 homers with a neat .231/.328/.443 last season.
In the meantime, Curtis Mead's grabbing the reins at second base, and Amed Rosario might step up too. It's a lineup shuffle for sure, with Lowe chilling with other injured mates like Taylor Walls and Jonathan Aranda.
