Mark Lowe: Looking to pitch in 2019

The 35-year-old hasn't pitched in the majors since 2016, when he posted a 7.11 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 49.1 innings for the Tigers, so he'll likely be forced to settle for a minor-league deal, with an invitation to spring training if he's lucky.

Tigers' Mark Lowe: Looks for bounce-back 2017
After a disastrous 2016 campaign, the Detroit Tigers are hoping a mechanic adjustment and the time off help Mark Lowe get back on track, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.Lowe signed a two-year deal with Detroit after posting a 1.96 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 55 innings in 2015. But he saw his ERA balloon to 7.11 and his WHIP jump to 1.58 in his first season with the Tigers. Lowe's fastball and slider both lost velocity, and he acknowledged that he tinkered with his approach throughout the season without much success. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said Lowe told him he "found something mechanically" over the offseason, making Ausmus optimistic that Lowe can rebound. His career stats outside of 2015, however, make that year look like an outlier. Expect better results this year, but don't expect a sub-2.00 ERA again.

His 2015 excellence is looking more and more like an anomaly, so there's little reason for fantasy owners to look his way unless or until he regains that form.
