Lowe had been on the 60-day injured list due to a stress reaction in his lower back but was activated earlier today. Some might question why activate him just two days before the All-Star break, but the Rays need any offense they can gather as they battle teams like the Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox, Seattle Mariners, and several others for a wild card berth. Lowe is batting second and playing second base for the Rays on Saturday as they take on the Baltimore Orioles.
The Rays broke the 10-game winning streak for the Orioles on Friday. They will look to win back-to-back games versus their division rivals, with Ryan Yarbrough starting for them. Dean Kremer will oppose him. The Rays are +162 (-1.5) on the run line and -126 on the money line, with an over/under of eight, over (-106), and under (-114). You can find the odds and props for this game and every other at the FanDuel Sportsbook.
