Jed Lowrie Designated For Assignment By A's
2 years agoThe Oakland Athletics designated veteran second baseman Jed Lowrie for assignment on Wednesday. The 38-year-old has had a rough year at the plate in Oakland, slashing just .180/.245/.263 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored and one stolen base in 184 plate appearances over 50 games played. In 139 games in 2021, Lowrie hit .245/.318/.398 with 14 home runs, 69 RBI and 55 runs scored in 512 plate appearances. At this point in his career, it's unlikely that another team will attempt to claim him off waivers, so there's a chance he'll either return to the A's or become a free agent.
