4 years agoOakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie started the 2021 season with a bang, but the veteran infielder has slowed down considerably in recent weeks. Lowrie is batting just .182 since May 4 and has just three runs and four RBI in that span. Strikeouts are the primary reason for his struggles as his strikeout rate in that time is over 25 percent, a big jump for a contact hitter like Lowrie. If he's not producing batting average, Lowrie has little use in fantasy as his career slugging percentage is under .400. Lowrie can be left on waivers in the majority of fantasy leagues.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
