The Rays have announced that Josh Lowe is dealing with a Grade 2 strain of his right oblique.

Fantasy Impact

The oblique strain is worse than the oblique injury Lowe suffered last year. Considering his oblique injury kept him out of action for multiple months, there is no immediate timetable on his return. Kameron Misner will likely see an uptick in playing time with Lowe on the injured list.

The Rays placed Josh Lowe on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right oblique strain.

Lowe sustained the injury on a swing during Friday’s game, and he’ll now be sidelined through at least early April. Jake Mangum was recalled from Triple-A Durham to fill the roster spot, though Kameron Misner appears positioned to see more opportunities in the short term. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should monitor Misner’s usage, while Lowe’s timeline will depend on how quickly the oblique responds.

Fantasy Impact

Lowe’s spring showing is muted—just one extra-base hit—but his health, after a delayed 2024 start, overshadows that; he’s locked in for a major Rays role. Fantasy managers can count on his OF speed and pop; the slow spring won’t dim his season spark.
