  • 36-41-3 8th Place
    • Delivers game-winning runs
      Lowe hit a triple, drove in three and scored a run in his only plate appearance Sunday against the Royals.

      Advice: Lowe got a day off even with righty Michael Wacha on the mound, though Lowe managed to deliver the game-winning knock after pinch-hitting with the bases loaded in the eighth inning. Despite the positive outcome Sunday, he is still only 3-for-18 with five strikeouts since returning from the injured list May 20. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:06 am
       
    • Moves down order amid slump
      Julien went 0-for-2 in Sunday's loss to the Rangers. He was moved down to eighth in the lineup against a right-handed starter amid a 1-for-25 slump that has lowered his batting average to .199 and his OPS to .674.

      Advice: Julien also has just one walk over his last eight games as well as his struggles since the end of April have accelerated. He was hitting just .147 with a .418 OPS over his last 24 games before Sunday. Moving him down in the order from his usual leadoff spot against right-handed pitchers is a sign of his recent troubles. His slump has lasted long enough that he may start to lose playing time and it's not out of the question that he could face a trip to the minors to get him back on track .

    • Brandon Lowe’s pinch-hit triple clears bases
      Brandon Lowe went 1-for-1 with a triple and three RBI in the Rays’ 4-1 win over the Royals on Sunday.

      Advice: Marred by injuries and poor performance, this was a huge hit for both Lowe and the Rays. This was his first off-day after five straight starts as he, Richie Palacios, and Amed Rosario are all battling for reps. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:02 pm
       
    • Receiving rest Sunday
      Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Lowe will get a maintenance day in the series finale after going 1-for-16 at the plate while starting in five games since being reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday. Amed Rosario will spell him at second base. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:23 am
       
    • Brandon Lowe scores lone run in loss to Royals
      Brandon Lowe went 1-for-3 and scored the Rays’ lone run in Friday night’s loss to the Royals.

      Advice: Lowe smacked a one-out single off of Seth Lugo in the opening inning and wound up coming around to score on a fielder’s choice off the bat of Jonathan Aranda. He also drew a walk in the contest, reaching base safely in two of his four plate appearances. On the season, the 29-year-old slugger is now hitting .146/.239/.244 with a homer and four RBI in his first 46 plate appearances. Rotoworld Friday, 6:24 pm
       
    • Homers in win
      Marte went 2-for-5 with a solo homer in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Marte singled in his first at-bat to extend his hitting streak to 23 games and later added a solo homer to lead off the eighth, giving the Diamondbacks a 5-0 lead. The long ball was the second baseman's fifth this month, and he's now recorded at least one RBI in three of his last five games, batting .318 over that brief stretch. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:26 am
