Snaps out of slump Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Rays.

Impact Lowe smacked three home runs in his first five games with the Rangers, though collected just one hit in his next 21 at-bats prior to the Wednesday's game. He snapped that cold spell by crushing a leadoff homer in the second inning for his fourth long ball of the season. Lowe also missed a golden opportunity for more production four frames later by grounding into a double play with the bases loaded and no outs. Through 50 plate appearances this season, Lowe is hitting .239/.300/.522 with four home runs, 15 RBI and six runs scored. However, to maintain that level of production, he'll need to cut back on his 36 percent strikeout rate.

Records stolen base Lowe went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Lowe got aboard on a fielder's choice in the eighth inning, and stole second, although he didn't come around to score. The first baseman is off to a productive start in 2021 with three homers, 14 RBI and four runs scored in six games. His steal Wednesday was just the second of his career, and he's yet to record more than one swiped bag per year at any level of professional baseball. Lowe's lack of speed can likely be overlooked by most fantasy managers if he can continue his frequent contributions at the plate.

Mashes three-run homer Lowe went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Royals.

Impact Lowe opened the scoring with his third-inning homer. It was his first long ball of the season. The 25-year-old worked as the designated hitter Sunday, but he's also the Rangers' primary first baseman to begin the year. Lowe went 5-for-14 (.357) with a homer, nine RBI and two runs scored in the three-game series against the Royals. He also struck out five times and didn't draw a walk. Plate discipline could be a factor later in the year if he starts to slump.

Rewards manager's patience Lowe went 2-for-6 with a double, four RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 14-10 loss to the Royals.

Impact Lowe, acquired from Tampa Bay in the offseason to be Texas' starting first baseman, fought off a challenge from Ronald Guzman in spring training. Rangers manager Chris Woodward stood by Lowe, who batted a mere .205 and struck out 15 times in 44 at-bats, and the manager's faith was rewarded Opening Day. Lowe slotted in at fifth in the batting order, a potentially good spot for RBI opportunities.

Wins starting role Lowe was named the Rangers' starting first baseman Saturday, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lowe's top competitor, Ronald Guzman, has also made the team, but he isn't expected to play regularly at first base. Lowe could potentially thrive with regular at-bats, something he wasn't able to earn in the past two seasons with the Rays. His .215/.322/.447 slash line through his first 71 big-league games is decent, though his 31.8 percent strikeout rate is high for a player who's only shown modest power.
