Texas Rangers first baseman Nate Lowe isn't starting for the team on Friday. The 26-year-old has provided solid value for both the Rangers and fantasy managers in his debut season in Texas. In 363 plate appearances, Lowe is hitting .261 with a .355 on-base percentage and 12 home runs. He's also chipped in with four stolen bases. However, he won't be in the lineup against the Oakland Athletics on Friday. Texas will instead turn to Andy Ibanez at first base in the first game of a three-game series against the A's. Ibanez is hitting second against Athletics left-hander Cole Irvin. If you need a streaming option at first base in either daily fantasy play or season-long formats, you're probably better off looking elsewhere. Ibanez is hitting just .191 with a .222 on-base percentage and one home run in 72 plate appearances so far this season.--Ben Rosener - RotoBaller

Washington Nationals first baseman Nathaniel Lowe is off to an impressive start to the season. On Sunday, Lowe went 3-for-4 including a two-run home run in the victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Lowe helped give the Nats a five-run lead with his sixth inning blast off right-hander Aaron Nola. After this game, Lowe is 6-for-13 with two homers and five RBI in three games. Lowe isn't a must-have fantasy option, but could be worth a look in 12-team formats while he's hot at the plate. The expectation is he'll play everyday and bat in the middle of the Nats order.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Washington Nationals have acquired first baseman Nathaniel Lowe from the Texas Rangers in exchange for left-handed pitcher Robert Garcia. Lowe has spent the past four seasons of his major league career playing in Texas. Last summer across 140 games, the 29-year-old posted a .265/.361/.401 line with 16 home runs, 16 doubles, 69 RBI, and two stolen bases. He held a stellar 12.6% walk rate which placed him the 97th percentile among qualified hitters. Lowe has hit at least 15+ home runs in each of the past four seasons while having an OBP of at least .357. Fantasy managers should expect Lowe to operate as the everyday first baseman in D.C. This transaction will also open the door for Jake Burger to be the everyday first baseman in Texas, who the Rangers acquired earlier this offseason.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe went 3-for-4 in Saturday's 9-8 win over the Angels, including a walk, a double, and belting his 15th home run of the year. The 29-year-old also collected three RBI and scored three times in the contest. Lowe's numbers would have been in line with 2023's results had he not missed time due to injury, but it would still have been a far cry from 2022 when he blasted 27 home runs, hit .302, and registered a wRC+ of 143. With one game to go, the Mississippi State product's line is .259-14-64-57-2 with a .328 wOBA and 114 wRC+.--Jarod Rupp - RotoBaller

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe had his fourth two-hit game in his past six during Monday's 6-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals that included his ninth homer. Lowe hit a two-run shot in the top of the seventh, finishing 2-for-4 with two runs scored. He has added 10 points to his batting average since returning from the All-Star break and is hitting .272/.366/.403 with 45 RBI, 39 runs scored, and two stolen bases. Lowe is a valuable asset for fantasy managers in leagues that feature OBP while his current run is helping his fantasy managers see a gain in batting average.--Brandon Williams - RotoBaller
