Fantasy Impact
It's bad news for Lowrie's fantasy owners, especially considering that Callaway referred to Lowrie's injury as a "left side" issue, suggesting that he's suffering from more than an injured hamstring. Lowrie has yet to suit up for the Mets since signing with them in January, and doesn't appear anywhere close to doing so.
