Player Outlook
Brandon Lowe had his best overall season in 2025 since that 2021 outlier season, but we should be more impressed with how he did it. Conventional wisdom would lead you to believe he loved his temporary home park and took full advantage of its dimensions, yet Lowe was a better hitter on the road, as he hit 35 points higher away from Tampa and had one more home run on the road in 62 games than he did at home in 72 games. Lowe still cannot hit lefties and is often benched for it, but hitting .280/.335/.538 with 26 homers against righties is what drove his overall value in 2025. Lowe has a $11.50 million club option this year, which is an easy pickup for the inconsistent offensive club, but this will also likely be the last season Lowe remains with the club because he will almost certainly be dealt somewhere by the deadline this season. The move back into Tropicana Field should not impact him as much as potential move away from it. Finally, his defense at second base may force a discussion about a position change with his next club.

  • Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Shows out in Pirates debut

    Rotowire
    Lowe went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Thursday's 11-7 loss against the Mets. Lowe made an immediate impact in his Pirates debut, launching a pair of homers in his first two at-bats: a two-run bomb in the first inning and solo shot in the third. It marked the ninth multi-homer game of the 31-year-old's career. If he can stay healthy, Lowe's power should be a key asset for Pittsburgh after he hit .256 with 31 home runs and 83 RBI last year with the Rays.

  • Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Returning to lineup Saturday

    Rotowire
    Lowe (back) is starting at second base and batting second in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles. Lowe has been out of the lineup since being scratched from Wednesday's game due to lower-body tightness, but the veteran second baseman has been cleared to return for Saturday's contest. The 2026 season will be his first with the Pirates after he was traded by the Rays in December in a three-team deal that also included the Astros. Lowe slashed .256/.307/.477 with three steals (on five attempts), 31 home runs and 83 RBI across 553 plate appearances in 2025.

  • Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Out Wednesday with tight side

    Rotowire
    Lowe was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles due to lower-body tightness, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. According to the Pirates' medical staff, Lowe is scheduled to go through a normal practice session at camp Wednesday, so his removal from the lineup appears to be mostly precautionary in nature. Acquired from the Rays in a three-team deal in December, Lowe is projected to serve as the Pirates' primary second baseman this season, though he could occasionally sit against left-handed pitching.

  • Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Goes to Pirates in three-team deal

    Rotowire
    The Pirates acquired Lowe, Jake Mangum and Mason Montgomery from the Rays on Friday in a three-team trade that sent Mike Burrows to the Astros and Jacob Melton and Anderson Brito to Tampa Bay, Chandler Rome and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic report. The Rays picked up Lowe's $11.5 million option for 2026 last month but will now ship him to another team. Lowe slashed .256/.307/.477 with 31 home runs over 134 games with the Rays during the 2025 season. The 31-year-old will give the Pirates some much-needed thump to their lineup and also take over at a position of need in second base.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Rays pick up $11.5 million option

    Rotowire
    The Rays exercised Lowe's $11.5 million option for 2026 on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Lowe will stay put after he slashed .256/.307/.477 with 31 home runs and 83 RBI this season for the Rays. The 31-year-old will be entering his walk year in 2026, so he will be a trade candidate if the Rays are not in contention when the deadline arrives.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Idle Sunday

    Rotowire
    Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays. Tristan Gray will start at second base in place of Lowe in the season finale. Unless he's used off the bench, Lowe will finish the campaign with a .256 batting average, 31 home runs, three stolen bases, 83 RBI and 79 runs.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Day off Thursday

    Rotowire
    Lowe is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Baltimore. The left-handed-hitting Lowe plays against most lefties, but he'll take a seat in this one as the Orioles send southpaw Cade Povich to the bump. Richie Palacios will cover second base for the Rays.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Reaches 30-homer mark

    Rotowire
    Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Red Sox. Lowe achieved his second 30-homer season when he went deep in the sixth inning. Just two of those long balls have come in September, as his power has declined following a nine-homer performance over 25 games in August. The infielder is now at a .258/.309/.478 slash line with 81 RBI, 78 runs scored, 18 doubles and three stolen bases across 130 contests this season.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Taking seat

    Rotowire
    Lowe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Boston. Lowe is out of the lineup for the second time in three games, a stretch that followed four consecutive starts at second base. In his last six games, Lowe is 6-for-26 (.231) with a homer and nine strikeouts.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Idle Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Lowe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Right-hander Kevin Gausman has been more effective against lefties than righties both this season and for his career, so the Rays will hold out Lowe and fellow left-handed hitter Josh Lowe for Wednesday's contest. Tristan Gray will step in for Brandon Lowe at the keystone.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Day off Friday

    Rotowire
    Lowe is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Cubs. It's the first day off since Aug. 4 for Lowe, who went 1-for-12 with six strikeouts during this week's series versus the White Sox. Richie Palacios will play second base and bat seventh for the Rays.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Knocks grand slam

    Rotowire
    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's win over Washington. Lowe ripped a grand slam during the Rays' six-run second inning. It was his 28th long ball of the year and fourth in his last eight games. He leads all MLB second basemen in home runs and RBI (71) this season. Lowe owns a .264/.319/.493 slash line through 113 games and is approaching his first 30-homer campaign since 2021.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Pops 25th homer

    Rotowire
    Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against the Cardinals. Lowe led off the scoring for the Rays in the first inning with his 25th homer of the campaign. Six of those home runs have come in his last 15 starts, raising his slugging percentage to .489 for the season -- his highest mark since the 2021 campaign.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Power surge in August

    Rotowire
    Lowe went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Athletics. Lowe blasted a two-run home run in the second inning, his 24th of the season. That's his highest mark since the 2021 campaign. Lowe has been on quite the power surge lately, delivering five homers in his last eight starts.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Smacks two-run homer

    Rotowire
    Lowe went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Tuesday against the Angels. Lowe led off the scoring for the Rays in the fourth inning by smacking his 20th home run of the season. He has at least one hit in six of eight games since the All-Star break and now has seven home runs across his last 26 games. Lowe also has at least 20 long balls in three consecutive campaigns.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Taking seat Monday

    Rotowire
    Lowe is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Angels. The left-handed-hitting Lowe will begin Monday's festivities on the bench as the Angels send southpaw Yusei Kikuchi to the bump. Ha-Seong Kim is playing second base and batting second for the Rays on Monday.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: On base three times in return

    Rotowire
    Lowe went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a walk Wednesday against the Yankees. Lowe returned from the injured list after a minimum stint and hit second in the order. He doubled in a run in his second at-bat and followed that up with a single in the fifth inning. Lowe has hit .315 with eight home runs, 20 RBI and 25 runs scored across 34 games since the start of June, and he should play nearly every day across the last two months of the season if he can stay healthy.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Returns from injured list

    Rotowire
    The Rays activated Lowe (foot) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports. Lowe required just the minimum 10 days on the IL while recovering from plantar fasciitis in his left foot. He is starting at second base and batting second in Wednesday's contest against the Yankees in what could be his final game in a Rays uniform prior to Thursday's trade deadline. Tristan Gray was optioned to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Expected back when first eligible

    Rotowire
    Lowe (foot) is expected to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game against the Yankees, MLB.com reports. Lowe ran in the outfield both Saturday and Sunday, and the tendinitis issue in his ankle and foot appears to have subsided enough for him to return from the IL on his first day of eligibility. Once he's officially reinstated, Lowe should take over as the Rays' primary second baseman, though he'll occasionally get held out of the lineup against left-handed pitching.

  • Rays' Brandon Lowe: Resumes running

    Rotowire
    Lowe (foot) ran in the outfield Saturday, MLB.com reports. Lowe landed on the injured list Tuesday, shortly after returning from an oblique injury, but his current foot tendinitis issue isn't seen as serious. He's expected to return in late July or early August.
