Rays To Place Brandon Lowe On Injured List

By Anthony Franco | May 16, 2022 at 3:46pm CDT

The Rays are planning to place second baseman Brandon Lowe on the 10-day injured list, manager Kevin Cash told media members (including broadcaster Neil Solondz and Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times). He’s dealing with a lower back issue and will head for further testing to determine the extent of the injury. Isaac Paredes will be recalled from Triple-A Durham to take his place on the active roster.

It’s obviously a tough blow for the Rays, who trail the Yankees by four and a half games in the early going. Lowe is one of the team’s top position players, an impact bat capable of slotting both at the top and in the middle of the lineup. The University of Maryland product blasted 39 home runs last season en route to a tenth-place finish in AL MVP balloting, his second consecutive year earning down-ballot support. Lowe strikes out a bit more often than the average batter, but he typically draws enough walks to maintain strong on-base numbers and is one of the game’s better power hitters.

Lowe is off to a bit of a slow start by his lofty standards. He’s hitting just .212 with a .293 on-base percentage through 32 games, and each of his early triple-slash marks are career worsts. That’s in the context of a league-wide offensive outage through the season’s first month and a half, though, and Lowe’s production has still been solid against that backdrop. The left-handed hitter has been 16 percentage points above-average by measure of wRC+, and he’s started 28 of the club’s 35 games at the keystone.

Tampa Bay does have a collection of highly-regarded young infielders capable of stepping into a greater role. Taylor Walls has been playing regularly all around the infield, and he and Vidal Bruján figure to see steady playing time. Paredes, acquired from the Tigers just before Opening Day for Austin Meadows, could see time at either of second or third base. As he has throughout his young career, he’s hitting very well at Triple-A. Paredes has a .263/.354/.484 mark in 25 games with Durham.

      But, but… It’s called Injury List. DL is so offensive to… disabled people.

        Old York;

        No, it’s inaccurate.

        I was on a train this morning with a man in a wheelchair that had lost his legs up to his knees.

        HE is DISABLED.

        An injured baseball player is INJURED.

          Something called sarcasm.

          Let me see if I understand this.

          Any time a person makes a statement with a moral component to it, it’s “virtue signaling”?

          So the Declaration of Independence was an exercise in virtue signaling — is that right, Mrsuntan?

        • Viveleempireevil

          2 months ago

          No Fink…you’ve missed the point. Your example of what constitutes virtue signaling is false. True virtue signaling has no moral component whatsoever. It is done only to further burnish and reinforce one’s fealty to some ideology. The Declaration is the furthest thing from VS because its words carried very serious…and real…consequence. You’re welcome.

          No, I don’t think I missed the point. I’m actually familiar with that gambit.

          You do or say something objectionable, and if somebody points it out, you turn it around on them: “What’s YOUR problem?” Although different terminology was used back in the day.

          If you didn’t join the bullies in tormenting some hapless, vulnerable kid who was the class target; or you didn’t copy the cheat sheet when it was passed around; or you didn’t shoplift with the cool kids; or you didn’t join them in a vandalism spree, you were “Holy Joe” or “goody-two-shoes.”

          Yep, that’s a real advanced, sophisticated rhetorical device. I don’t think I encountered it until . . . gee, must’ve been at least the fourth grade.

          Give it a rest fink, you are the same tool who give some able bodied bum at an intersection a dollar which does nothing but enable him to stand there all day instead of getting a job.its also a major saftey hazard to both him and the drivers who have to deal with him. But thats ok you can feel proud of yourself all day and it only cost a dollar

          Yep, there it is: generosity is bad — stingy, judgmental contempt for someone you know nothing about is good. “It’s not ME, it’s YOU!” What a convenient approach to life.

          Keep kidding yourself.

    The Yankees and Reds have faced off in the World Series three times, with the Yankees winning in 1939 and 1961 and the Reds winning in 1976.
