Jed Lowrie Hits The Bench Thursday
3 years agoOakland Athletics second baseman/designated hitter Jed Lowrie is not in the lineup for Thursday's matchup against the Kansas City Royals. Lowrie is slashing .246/.321/.400 this year with 14 HRs, 68 RBI, and 55 runs over 131 games. However, he has just a .686 OPS off of lefties this season, so with left-hander Daniel Lynch on the hill, it wouldn't be a good matchup. Khris Davis will DH in Lowrie's place and bat fifth. He owns a .613 OPS with two home runs in 31 games this season. Davis is not the slugger he once was and can be left on the waiver wire in all leagues.
