Josh Lowe

Josh Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run on Tuesday as the Angels dropped a 5-2 decision to the White Sox.

Fantasy Impact

Lowe hit his fourth home run of the year off of White Sox' reliever, Jordan Leasure, in the eighth inning for his only hit of the night. The outfielder got off to a 3-for-33 (.091) start to the season, but is showing signs of life by going 11-for-40 (.275) with three home runs and seven RBI over his last 15 games. Lowe is hitting .192 with four home runs and 10 RBI this season, but is still just 1-for-1 in stolen bases after swiping 75 bags over the previous three years.

Josh Lowe went 2-for-5 with a solo home run to help the Angels to a 10-2 victory in Cincinnati against the Reds on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Lowe snapped a 3-for-33 start to his season with his second two-hit game of the season on Friday. His home run was also his second of the year and it came off of Cincinnati starter, Chase Burns, in the top of the sixth. With the two-hit game, Lowe upped his average to .132 (5-for-38) with two home runs and four RBI through 13 contests. After striking out 10 times in six March games, Lowe has only struck out six times in seven games in April, so he is putting the ball in play better. Perhaps his two-hit game on Friday is what he needed to get going offensively.

Josh Lowe went 0-for-2 with a run scored and a stolen base during the Angels' 8-7, 11-inning, win over the Mariners on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Despite going hitless, Lowe was a menace on Sunday as he drew a walk, was hit by a pitch, and also dropped a sacrifice bunt in the Angels' win. The stolen base, his first of the season, came after he led off the fourth getting plunked by Seattle starter, Luis Castillo, and he later came in to score the Angels' third run of the game. Lowe has been mired in a slump at the plate as he is just 3-for-29 (.103) on the season with a home run and three runs batted in. He is 1-for-21 with 10 strikeouts over the last seven games. Playing time appears safe for right now, but he's going to need to start hitting sooner than later.

Josh Lowe went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run on Friday, lifting the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-2 win in Houston.

Fantasy Impact

Lowe batted seventh and played left field for the second consecutive game and recorded his first two hits in an Angels' uniform on Friday. Lowe snapped a 1-1 tie in the top of the second with his three-run home run off of Houston starter, Mike Burrows. The 28-year-old has shown a good combination of speed and power in the majors as evidenced by his 2023 season where he hit 20 home runs and swiped 32 bases in 135 games with the Rays. Lowe is currently penciled in to play every day and, if he does, he could approach those numbers in 2026.

Lowe sustained an oblique injury in late February and missed more than two weeks before returning to the Cactus League lineup Saturday as a designated hitter. He played the outfield Tuesday in a minor-league game on the back fields of camp, taking another step in his progression.

Fantasy Impact

Lowe is set to start again at DH in Wednesday's split-squad game against the Reds and has indicated the oblique injury is not expected to limit his outfield availability once the regular season gets underway.
