Roster %
Eligibility
Josh Lowe is in the starting lineup for the Rays Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Lowe will cover right field and bat fifth against the Phillies Tuesday. He is hitting .241, with nine home runs, 30 RBI, and 23 stolen bases this season.
Josh Lowe went 1-for-1 with a stolen base as the Rays fell to the Phillies 2-1.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the team's loss, Lowe managed to make the most of his limited opportunities, adding another steal to his tally. This season, Lowe's performance has been a mixed bag with a .242 batting average and a high strikeout rate of 30.4%, which might concern fantasy managers. However, his speed on the bases, with 23 stolen bases, remains a valuable asset in categories leagues. His ability to swipe bags coupled with a decent slugging percentage from his nine homers and 17 doubles suggests he could be a useful, if not essential, component in deeper fantasy rosters, especially for those in need of steals.
Josh Lowe is out of the starting lineup for the Rays Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Lowe will head to the bench with a left-hander on the mound for the Phillies. Jonny DeLuca will start in right field and bat third Monday.
Josh Lowe went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in the Rays' 5-4 loss to the Twins.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the multi-hit game, Lowe's season batting average remains a modest .247, reflecting a consistent struggle at the plate over 81 games. His speed, however, continues to be a bright spot, as evidenced by his 19th steal of the season. Fantasy managers should value Lowe for his stolen base potential, but his high strikeout rate (30.7%) and low walk rate (7.8%) limit his upside in formats that penalize for strikeouts or reward for on-base percentage. His performance does little to suggest a significant turnaround in batting productivity, so expectations should be tempered accordingly.
Josh Lowe went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, two runs scored, and an RBI as the Rays trounced the Padres 11-4.
Fantasy Impact
This performance underscores a season of moderate ups and downs for Lowe, who now boasts a .246 batting average with some power-speed elements evident in his nine homers and 17 stolen bases. His ability to hit for extra bases, as shown by his 16 doubles and now two triples, adds a layer of value for fantasy managers. However, his high strikeout rate of 30.8% remains a concern, potentially capping his batting average upside. Moving forward, Lowe's blend of speed and occasional power makes him a viable fantasy option, particularly in deeper leagues or formats that reward extra-base hits.
