Player Outlook
2024 was not technically Joshua Lowe's sophomore season, but it was his second full season at the bigs, so throwing the sophomore slump label on his season is appropriate. Lowe's most redeeming skill remains his adeptness at stealing bases, as he was caught but once in 26 tries in 2024 and has now successfully swiped 94 percent of his career attempts. The downsides were aplenty as spring injuries delayed the start of his season until early May and then an oblique injury shortly thereafter led to more missed time. Once Lowe was finally able to stay on the field, a .262/.320/.403 second half was much improved from a .211/.278/.374 first half, yet the bigger concern was the lack of contact. Lowe's strikeout rate spiked from 24.8 percent to 31.8 percent over just one season and he particularly struggled against fastballs, hitting .229 against a steady diet of 2024 heat versus the .298 he hit against the same pitch type in 2023. He could return to form, but the health issues of 2024 are a fresh reminder of the Lowe's downside.

  • Rays' Josh Lowe: Enjoying healthy spring

    Rotowire
    Lowe has gone 6-for-23 with six strikeouts in Grapefruit League action. Lowe hasn't performed well this spring, as he has only one extra-base hit. More important than the results is the fact Lowe is healthy after a delayed start to his 2024 season, and he should be locked into a key role for the Rays come the regular season.

    Rotowire

  • Rays' Josh Lowe: Tallies 10th homer

    Rotowire
    Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Red Sox. Lowe snapped a 17-game stretch without a long ball, during which he hit only .237 with one RBI and four runs scored. That continued a down season from a power perspective for Lowe, as his slugging percentage and ISO have dropped 99 and 48 points, respectively, from 2023. Positively, he has been active and successful on the basepaths, tallying 24 stolen bases on 25 attempts.

  • Rays' Josh Lowe: Sitting versus southpaw

    Rotowire
    Lowe is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Philadelphia.

Christopher Morel and Jonny DeLuca will be the corner outfielders for the Rays for the series opener.

  • Rays' Josh Lowe: Getting day off

    Rotowire

  • Rays' Josh Lowe: Back in action Saturday

    Rotowire
    Lowe (knee) will start in left field and bat sixth Saturday against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Lowe fouled a ball off his right knee during Thursday's game and missed a start Friday, though he was able to enter as a pinch hitter. He'll now return to the starting nine Saturday and look to stay hot after going 6-for-18 with two homers, three RBI and four runs scored since the start of August.

  • Rays' Josh Lowe: Leaves early Thursday

    Rotowire
    Lowe suffered a right knee contusion in Thursday's contest against the Cardinals, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports. Lowe fouled a pitch off his right leg in the top of the first inning before ultimately striking out in what ended up being his only at-bat. The outfielder exited the contest before the bottom of the frame and subsequently underwent X-rays, which came back negative. Lowe should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.

  • Rays' Josh Lowe: Sitting down versus lefty

    Rotowire
    Lowe isn't in the Rays' lineup for Friday's game versus Houston, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. With southpaw Yusei Kikuchi slated to take the mound for the Astros, the lefty-hitting Lowe will step out of Friday's lineup. His absence will allow Jonny DeLuca to pick up a start in right field and bat sixth.

  • Rays' Josh Lowe: Swipes 10th bag

    Rotowire
    Lowe went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to Miami. It's been a disappointing year overall for Lowe, but the outfielder now has four hits and two doubles in his last two contests. He's slashing .225/.284/.371 with five homers, 19 RBI, 18 runs scored and 10 steals in 53 games this season. With Randy Arozarena and Amed Rosario both departing at the trade deadline, Lowe should be afforded a near-everyday role for Tampa Bay down the stretch.

  • Rays' Josh Lowe: Swipes eighth bag

    Rotowire
    Lowe went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Sunday against the Guardians. After battling injuries for much of the first half, Lowe has yet to find his rhythm at the plate. He's hit just .188 with a 37.1 percent strikeout rate across 10 games in July, though he has managed four stolen bases in that span. Lowe's performance should improve in the second half if he can stay healthy, but he has only a .670 OPS across 158 plate appearances to this point.

    Rotowire

    Rotowire
    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases Tuesday against Seattle. Lowe has started to heat up at the plate, as he's gone 11-for-30 with three homers, seven RBI and six runs scored across his last eight games. He's also displayed a penchant for steals, swiping three bags across his last three starts. Though Lowe had an injured-plagued first half of the season, he may be ready to deliver on lofty preseason expectations in the final months of the campaign.
