Finds power stroke Monday Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Orioles.
Impact The second baseman took Austin Voth deep in the third inning, but it was all the offense the Rays could muster. The long ball was Lowe's sixth of the year and first since coming off the injured list just before the All-Star break, but he's been plenty productive during that time, going 10-for-23 (.435) in his last six games with two doubles, two RBI and five runs in addition to Monday's homer.

Rays take on the Royals after Lowe's 4-hit game
The Tampa Bay Rays play the Kansas City Royals after Brandon Lowe had four hits against the Orioles on SundayJULY 22, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Smacks four hits Lowe went 4-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in a 7-5 win Sunday over Baltimore.
Impact Lowe doubled in his first two plate appearances against Jordan Lyles and singled in his final two trips to the plate. The 28-year-old has crushed the ball in his two games since returning from a back injury that cost him two months, going 6-for-8 with a walk and four runs scored. After amassing an .870 OPS over the past three seasons, his strong return is a great sign heading into the second half for the Rays and fantasy managers looking for Lowe to repeat his 39-homer production from a year ago.

Excels in return to lineup Lowe (back) went 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored Saturday in the Rays' 6-4 extra-inning loss to the Orioles.
Impact After missing the past two months due to a stress reaction in his lower back, Lowe returned from the 60-day injured list Saturday and slotted in as the No. 2 hitter. The 28-year-old made an immediate splash in his return, coming around to score on a pair of wild pitches and on Yandy Diaz's base hit in the 10th inning. The lefty-hitting Lowe could find himself on the bench versus left-handed pitching, but he'll likely maintain a prominent spot in the lineup against righties now that he's healthy again.

Reinstated, starting Saturday Lowe (back) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and is starting Saturday against the Orioles, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact Lowe was sidelined since mid-May due to a stress reaction in his lower back, but he'll be available for the Rays' final two games prior to the All-Star break. He's starting at the keystone and batting second Saturday and should serve as the team's primary second baseman now that he's back to full health.

Could be activated Friday Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Lowe (back) will remain on his rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham through Thursday before potentially being activated from the 60-day injured lis...
Impact Lowe has already played in two games for Durham, going 2-for-4 at the dish between those contests. Since Lowe has been on the shelf for nearly two months with a lower-back stress reaction, the Rays would ideally keep him on the assignment for the entire week to allow him to regain his timing at the plate, but he won't have many more opportunities to play in the minors with the All-Star break approaching. If Lowe makes it back from the IL this weekend, the Rays could be eased back into the lineup at designated hitter rather that has his typical spot at second base.
