Rays' Lowe Exits with Oblique Discomfort

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe exited Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies due to right oblique discomfort, marking a potential setback following a promising spring training. Lowe, who has a history of oblique injuries, appeared to tweak the injury while hitting a single and was replaced by a pinch runner. This is particularly frustrating for Lowe, as he had struggled with similar issues throughout the previous season, which significantly impacted his playing time. The team plans to conduct further tests to assess the severity of the injury, with Jake Mangum or Kameron Misner likely to fill in during his absence. Lowe's previous season saw him achieve a .241 batting average, 10 home runs, and 25 stolen bases across 106 games. Updates on his condition will follow as more information becomes available.
