Josh Lowe Goes Hitless In Rays' Return Monday
3 years agoTampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe was called up from Triple-A Durham to start Monday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees, going 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts. Pitcher Luke Bard was sent down in a corresponding move. Lowe had spent some time with the Rays at the beginning of the season but put together a poor .188/.257/.344 slash line with a 38% strikeout rate in 71 plate appearances. He had done much better at Triple-A with a .299/.382/.540 slash line, although he also had strikeout issues with a 31.2% strikeout rate. Lowe does possess intriguing power and speed potential, but he is currently only worth a bench spot in deep leagues at this time.
