Brandon Lowe Dealing With Back Issue
2 years agoUpdating a previous report, Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that second baseman Brandon Lowe's back has been bothering him, which is why he's not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The team will see if he's available to come off the bench late in Game 1 and/or start in Game 2. The sore back could help explain why the 28-year-old left-handed hitter has gone hitless in his last 14 at-bats over five games. With Lowe out, Taylor Walls is starting at the keystone and is hitting eighth against Blue Jays right-hander Julian Merryweather in Game 1. DFS gamers should look for better low-cost options over Walls.
