Josh Lowe Moves Up To Cleanup Spot Tuesday
2 years agoTampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe will move to the cleanup spot for the first time this season against the Houston Astros and right-hander Luis Garcia. Lowe has largely hit seventh or eighth this season but moves up to the four-hole for tonight's contest. The lineup promotion shouldn't come as a surprise considering Lowe is hitting a robust .333 with four homers, four stolen bases, and a 1.025 OPS across 64 trips to the plate on the season. Considering the youngster scuffled to a .221 average with two HR and 3 SB in 52 games last season, the Rays are surely thrilled with his production on the young season. He is also manning right field once again but has also mixed in four starts in center field on the campaign.
