Jed Lowrie Remains Out With Wrist Injury
Jed Lowrie (wrist, shoulder) will miss his fifth straight game on Wednesday as the team takes on the Boston Red Sox.

The 38-year-old has been held to just 40 games this year. He's slashed .207/.278/.304 with three home runs, 16 RBI and 14 runs.

Jed Lowrie Designated For Assignment By A's
Jed Lowrie for assignment on Wednesday. The 38-year-old has had a rough year at the plate in Oakland, slashing just .180/.245/.263 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored and one stolen base in 184 plate appearances over 50 games played. In 139 games in 2021, Lowrie hit .245/.318/.398 with 14 home runs, 69 RBI and 55 runs scored in 512 plate appearances. At this point in his career, it's unlikely that another team will attempt to claim him off waivers, so there's a chance he'll either return to the A's or become a free agent.

Cristian Pache Optioned, Jed Lowrie To Injured List
Cristian Pache to Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday and also placed infielder Jed Lowrie (shoulder) on the injured list. In corresponding moves, Adam Oller was optioned to Las Vegas, infielder Vimael Machin was called up, right-hander Adrian Martinez was called up to start against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday and Skye Bolt was reinstated from the injured list. Pache needs to work on his swing down in the minors after hitting .159 with two home runs, 13 RBI and one stolen base in 68 games in his first year in Oakland. Lowrie, meanwhile, has hit .185 with three long balls and 16 RBI in 151 at-bats. Bolt, who is starting in center field and batting sixth against Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert on Thursday, could see regular playing time in center now. Machin has had a breakout year in the minors and is worth a peek in deep mixed and AL-only leagues if he sees enough playing time around the infield.

Jed Lowrie Remains Out For Game 1
Jed Lowrie (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. It will be the fourth game in a row on the bench for Lowrie as he deals with lower back tightness. It remains to be seen if he'll return for the second game of the twin bill. Tony Kemp is starting at the keystone and is batting ninth for Game 1 on Tuesday against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. Kemp is a low-cost, low-upside DFS play, as he's hitting just .217 on the year with one home run, four RBI and two stolen bases in 92 at-bats. The switch-hitting Lowrie hasn't been any better, batting .200 with one homer, five RBI and one stolen base in his first 15 games of 2022.
