Brandon Lowe of Tampa Bay Rays placed on 10-day IL due to Grade 1 oblique strain. Issue arose on right side while taking warm-up swings after recent discomfort in left side.
Oblique strains typically result in multi-week absences and impact a hitter's ability to rotate through their swing. Lowe, a top offensive second baseman, has a history of IL stints for various injuries.
Despite past injuries, Lowe has consistently delivered above-average offensive performance as a second baseman. His current season had a slow start, with Curtis Mead likely to assume playing time in Lowe's absence.
