Unfortunately, they’ve been handed another tough update.</p><p>Brandon Lowe fouled a pitch off his knee Thursday and it appears he’s got a fracture in his kneecap, Per Marc Topkin. The infielder will <a href="https://twitter.com/TBTimes_Rays/status/1705395289580843336" rel="noopener">miss 4-6 weeks</a>. That’s a brutal blow. If we take that timeline into consideration, Lowe is likely out for all of the Wild Card Series and perhaps for even the entire ALDS as well if the Rays get there.</p><p>Lowe was limping around prior to Tampa’s crucial series opener with the Toronto Blue Jays Friday, which led to him going to get X-rays where the unfortunate news was revealed. The Rays ended up losing 6-2 to their divisional foes.</p><p>In 109 games this season, Lowe is hitting .231 with 21 home runs and 68 RBI. He’s struck out 119 times as well. It hasn’t been the greatest year for him, but regardless, Lowe is an important part of the ball club, especially with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-wander-franco-more-hot-water-dominican-authorities-after-2nd-complaint-underage-girl" rel="noopener">Wander Franco likely done</a> for good in Tampa amid the MLB’s investigation into his relationships with minors.</p><p>At the moment, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-jason-adam-jalen-beeks-roster-moves" rel="noopener">the Rays</a> are two games behind the Orioles in the AL East and 8.5 games clear of the Jays for the top Wild Card spot. Making the playoffs is a foregone conclusion but considering all their injuries, a deep run might be a pipe dream. We’ll have to see how they respond.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Injuries have already ravaged their deep pitching staff, and now the team is going to be without one of their sluggers.</p><p>The Rays placed second baseman Brandon Lowe on the <a href="https://twitter.com/TBTimes_Rays/status/1665779715477495809?s=20" rel="noopener">10-day injured list</a> with lower back inflammation, according to Mark Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. This comes a week after closer Pete Fairbanks went on the 15-day IL <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-tampa-bay-places-pete-fairbanks-15-day-il" rel="noopener">with a hip issue</a> (no structural damage).</p><p>Before the move, Lowe was struggling profusely at the plate with a .199 batting average and .686 OPS. The former All-Star has played 100 games or more in a season just once since being called up in 2018. His power (nine dingers, 29 RBIs) usually makes him a valued asset for the Tampa Bay lineup, but the team has done just fine in that department. The Rays lead baseball with 104 home runs, turning what was their biggest question mark into their best strength.</p><p>Although they have also been getting it done on the mound, the Rays have relied heavily on their stout offense to overcome multiple devastating pitching injuries. Right-hander Drew Rasmussen is out with a flexor strain and southpaw Jeffrey Springs underwent Tommy John surgery.</p><p>There is good news in St. Petersburg, though. Starter Tyler Glasnow is back and getting back in the groove of things, while star shortstop Wander Franco will return to the lineup Monday after dealing with a strained hamstring.</p><p>The next man up mentality has worked wonders thus far, so fans should not be overly panicked being without Brandon Lowe for a bit.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, Brandon Lowe’s latest injury has a much more <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-wander-franco-update-hamstring-injury-doubleheader" rel="noopener">ominous feel for the Rays</a>.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-brandon-lowe-reaction-mlb-wins-record" rel="noopener">Lowe was scratched</a> from the Rays’ contest against the Red Sox on Sunday with what was believed to be a lower leg issue. However, manager Kevin Cash later confirmed that Lowe is <a href="https://twitter.com/TBTimes_Rays/status/1665455061105885187" rel="noopener">dealing with a back injury</a>, via Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.</p><p>Even with the specific injury now known, Tampa Bay is still not aware of the severity. In the coming days, the Rays will likely perform tests to see if Lowe will have to miss a significant amount of time.</p><p>Injuries were a problem for Lowe last season, as he only appeared in 65 games. However, his play on the field hasn’t been up to his 2019 All Star level. Over 50 games this year, Lowe is hitting .199 with nine home runs and 29 RBI.</p><p>To his credit, Lowe has already surpassed his output from last season. Still, Tampa Bay is expecting more from their infielder. However, regardless of his current performance, the Rays main priority when it comes to Lowe is his health.</p><p>A late scratch is never good for any player. However, the cause behind Lowe’s injury are still unknown. Tampa Bay was able to defeat the Red Sox on Sunday 6-2. However, Lowe’s mysterious injury surely left a sour taste in their mouth and could potentially shelf the infielder for an indefinite amount of time.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
