Josh Lowe Recalled and Starting on Wednesday for Angels
The Los Angeles Angels recalled outfielder Josh Lowe from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday, and he is starting in center field and batting eighth for the Angels against the visiting Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Trey Gibson, according to MLB.com. Lowe could get some run in the short term in Anaheim against right-handed pitching with Mike Trout (hamstring) on the injured list and Jose Siri away for a few days while on paternity leave. The 28-year-old left-handed slugger teased power/speed upside earlier in his career with the Tampa Bay Rays after they made him the 13th overall pick in 2016, but injuries have gotten in the way, and he hit a low point earlier this year when the Angels sent him to the minors. In his first 125 at-bats in Anaheim in 2026, Lowe has hit a lowly .184 (23-for-125) with five home runs, 14 RBI, eight runs, one steal, and a 29.1% strikeout rate. In the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League with Salt Lake, Lowe hit .299/.397/.617 with a 1.014 OPS, nine homers, 29 RBI, six steals, and 21 runs in 26 games played. Only in AL-only leagues should managers fork out FAAB for Lowe at this time.
