Brandon Lowe Back in Action in Grapefruit League on Saturday
Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) is starting at second base and batting second on Saturday in the Grapefruit League game against the Baltimore Orioles. Lowe was scratched as a precaution from Wednesday's spring training game, but the 31-year-old veteran is back on the field this weekend as he prepares to start his first season in Pittsburgh. The Tampa Bay Rays sent the left-handed-hitting second baseman to the Steel City in December as part of a three-team deal. Lowe will give the Bucs more power upside at the keystone in 2026, and he's coming off his second All-Star season in 2025, in which he slashed .256/.307/.477 with 31 home runs, 83 RBI, 79 runs, and three steals in 553 plate appearances over 134 games played. He'll be the team's everyday second baseman, and he offers 30-homer potential despite carrying plenty of risk and a low batting-average floor. Right now, RotoBaller has Lowe ranked just inside the top 15 fantasy second basemen for the 2026 campaign.
