The Red Sox non-tendered Lowe on Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Lowe's production dropped considerably in 2025, as he finished the regular season with a .689 OPS across 609 plate appearances between Boston and Washington after never finishing with less than a .760 OPS in his previous six seasons (min. 500 PA). The 30-year-old should still receive a fair bit of interest in the open market from teams hoping for a bounce-back year in 2026, though he may have to take on a platoon role after slashing just .168/.240/.265 against left-handers in this past regular season.

The Red Sox designated Lowe for assignment Tuesday. Lowe had been set to be non-tendered later this week, so this transaction just serves a way to remove him from the 40-man roster sooner. The veteran first baseman slashed only .228/.307/.381 with 18 home runs over 153 regular-season games between the Nationals and Red Sox in 2025. Lowe will become a free agent once he officially clears waivers.

Lowe is not in the lineup Tuesday for Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series versus the Yankees. It's southpaw Max Fried on the bump for the Yankees, so the left-handed-hitting Lowe will begin the festivities on the bench. Romy Gonzalez will handle first base and bat cleanup for the Red Sox.

Lowe went 1-for-3 in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Atheltics. Lowe has hit the skids after a productive start to his Red Sox tenure. He sported a .974 OPS with two home runs and eight RBI over his first 12 games in a Boston uniform, but Lowe has languished since then with a .576 OPS and just two RBI in the subsequent 13 contests.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians. The left-handed-hitting Lowe was included in the lineup against Cleveland southpaw Parker Messick in Monday's 6-4 win, but he'll hit the bench while the Guardians send another lefty (Joey Cantillo) to the bump for the finale. Romy Gonzalez will check in for Lowe at first base.
