2 years agoTampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe is absent from the starting lineup on Tuesday for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays. Lowe has gone hitless in his last 14 at-bats with four strikeouts in his last five games, so Game 1 of a doubleheader is a good time to rest him. There's a good chance he'll be back in the lineup for Game 2 against Blue Jays right-hander Alek Manoah. The 28-year-old has been held back by injuries in 2022 and is hitting only .221/.308/.383 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 31 runs and a stolen base in 235 at-bats. Taylor Walls is playing second and hitting eighth against Jays right-hander Julian Merryweather in Game 1. Walls will be a low-upside DFS dart throw.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
