Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports that Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe was not in the starting lineup Friday.

Lowe is dealing with a slight back issue. Of note, considering a back injury caused Lowe to miss a good portion of last season. He was able to put in a full practice on Friday, so he could potentially start sometime this weekend.

Lowe has 21 hits in 94 at-bats this season, batting .223, with a .318 on-base percentage, 20 RBI, and seven home runs.

The Rays didn’t need him Friday as they beat the Yankees 5-4 in the first game of their three-game series this weekend. On Saturday, Domingo German will be on the bump for the Yankees, opposing the Rays’ Drew Rasmussen.

The Rays are +125 (-1.5) on the run line and -172 on the moneyline, with an over/under of 7.5, over (-110), and under (-110).
