Jed Lowrie (3B / SS, HOU) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Some kid named Carlos Correa took over at shortstop while Lowrie was out with a torn thumb ligament, but the veteran figures to get the bulk of the playing time at the hot corner going forward. Lowrie was killing it before he went on the shelf, and the long layoff doesn’t appear to have hurt him much, as he’s hit safely in all but one game since his return. Last year wasn’t much to write home about for him, but Lowrie did smack 31 homers across the previous two seasons and owns a respectable .262/.333/.415 career line. The SS eligibility is a big plus.
