The Rays transferred Lowe (back) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

Lowe was officially ruled out for the season last week, so his move to the 60-day IL is merely procedural with the Rays needing to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Tyler Glasnow (elbow), who will start Wednesday's game in Cleveland. The Rays are hopeful the 28-year-old infielder will be back to 100 percent for spring training, but it's unclear when he might be ready to resume offseason workouts while he recovers from lower-back discomfort.

India is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Pirates.

India is hitting .243 with a double, four runs, three RBI and a stolen base over his last 10 games. Alejo Lopez will start at the keystone and hit sixth.

Hernandez batted eighth and went 1-for-5 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 13-9 win over Baltimore.

Hernandez had returned to the top of the order for Monday's game when Tommy Pham was given the day off, and he had a couple of hits and three RBI. Pham returned to the lineup Tuesday and was back in the leadoff spot, sending Hernandez down to the lower third of the batting order. It's been a rough season for Hernandez, who missed the bulk of the summer with a hip injury. His batting average hovered around the .200 mark for most of the season before a recent push since Aug. 26 (25-for-94, .266) raised it to .225. Despite the down season, the Red Sox inked him for 2023, and Hernandez is expected back as the team's center fielder next year.

Bae went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored Tuesday against the Cubs.

Bae got a day off Monday, but he returned to the lineup Tuesday to hit ninth and play second base. Though he tallied two hits, he came around to score in the third inning after leading off the frame by being hit with a pitch. Bae has yet to tally his first career home run, but he does have two doubles and two steals across four starts.

Hensley went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over Arizona.

Hensley replaced Yordan Alvarez as the designated hitter Tuesday after Alvarez left the game with an ankle injury, and he made the most of it. The rookie took a 1-2 fastball the opposite way to right field in the sixth inning for his first career home run. He also just missed a second round tripper as Arizona right fielder Jake McCarthy made a leaping catch to rob him of what was likely another homer in the eighth inning. If Alvarez is forced to miss additional time, Hensley could see more at-bats and provide sneaky value in a strong Houston lineup.

Altuve went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double, two RBI and four runs scored in Tuesday's 10-2 victory over the Diamondbacks.

Altuve had a huge day at the plate Tuesday. He led off the game for Houston with a long ball and knocked a second home run in the sixth inning to record his first multi-homer game since July 30, 2021. He increased his season-long home run total to 28. He also recorded his 35th double of the season, his highest mark since hitting 39 in 2017.

Castro went 3-for-5 with three RBI in a 4-3 extra-inning victory Tuesday over Kansas City.

Castro was the hero Tuesday as he tied the game with a two-run single in the eighth and walked it off with an RBI single in the 10th. It was his third straight three-hit performance and he's 9-for-14 with a homer and six RBI in those contests. The 27-year-old has set career highs in nearly every offensive category this season while appearing at six different positions in the field.

Villar is not in the lineup Tuesday against Colorado, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Villar will get a day off Tuesday after playing in 12 consecutive games, batting .167 in the process. Jason Vosler will pick up a start at third base, batting eighth.

Kemp is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Kemp started the past 11 games and will head to the bench after he posted a .233/.283/.442 slash line with two home runs and seven RBI during that span. Jordan Diaz will step in at the keystone and bat sixth against Halos lefty Patrick Sandoval.

Trejo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Trejo started seven straight games but will take a seat Tuesday after he posted a .655 OPS during that span. Garrett Hampson will start at the keystone and bat ninth in the series opener.
