Reds first baseman Nathaniel Lowe knocked in three runs as part of a 7-3 win over the Angels on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Lowe blew the game open early for the Reds on Saturday afternoon, knocking a three-run double into right field in the bottom of the first inning to help stake the Reds to an early 4-0 lead. The 30-year-old has been used sparingly early in his Reds tenure as he has appeared in just nine games while logging 19 trips to the plate in that time. He is hitting .222 with two doubles, five RBI, and a .596 OPS to begin the season.
Nathaniel Lowe's contract has been selected from Triple-A Louisville by the Cincinnati Reds. In a corresponding move, righthander Hunter Greene (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list.
Fantasy Impact
Lowe earned a spot on the roster with a solid spring for the Reds as he batted .268 with a .947 OPS in 47 plate appearances. Of his 11 hits, seven went for extra bases (four doubles, three home runs) and he drove in eight runs. The lefthanded-hitting first baseman has played seven seasons in the majors and sports a .264 average with 107 career home runs. Lowe hit a career-best 27 round trippers in 2022 with Texas and earned a Sliver Slugger Award. Lowe is expected to backup Sal Stewart at first base, but could supplant the youngster should he struggle at the outset.
The Reds signed 1B Nathaniel Lowe to a minor league contract.
Fantasy Impact
The deal includes an invite to spring training. Lowe slashed .228/.307/.381 with the Red Sox and Nationals last season. He'll enter spring training competing for a depth role in the infield.
The Red Sox have designated Nathaniel Lowe for assignment.
Fantasy Impact
Lowe will lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Boston acquired Tristan Gray in a trade with the Rays. He will be a free agent once he clears waivers. Low hit .228, with 18 home runs and 84 RBI in 153 games last season.
Nathaniel Lowe went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs scored, and a strikeout in the Red Sox’s 11-7 win over the Guardians on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Lowe raised his RBI total to 76 and his home run count to 18 while bumping his average to .225 across 476 at-bats. While the average has dipped, his steady run production continues to hold value in deeper formats.
