Brandon Lowe Going For MRI, Expected To Miss "Some Time"
8 months agoTampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (oblique), who is out of the starting lineup again on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels, is getting an MRI exam on his right oblique. Manager Kevin Cash said it's "fair to say he will miss some time." It's an injury that Lowe has already been dealing with early this year, and it's looking like he's now going to go on the injured list in the near future. Fantasy managers will need to prepare for a potential absence of around 10 days to two weeks. Given the 29-year-old's lengthy injury history, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him miss more time than that, especially given the nature of his ailment. Curtis Mead is starting at second and batting fifth on Wednesday against Angels right-hander Jose Soriano and has hit .292 (7-for-24) in the early going for the Rays. He's certainly worth a waiver-wire pickup in AL-only leagues if he's available.
