  • Sitting Sunday
    Lowe (toe) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Lowe will sit for the series finale Sunday after sustaining a broken pinky toe on a hit-by-pitch in the first inning of Saturday's 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh. Lowe isn't expected to be placed on the IL and will be available to pinch hit Sunday, per Topkin. Richie Palacios will start at second base Sunday and bat fifth against Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:18 am
     
  • Brandon Lowe sitting out Sunday with fractured toe
    Brandon Lowe is not in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Pirates.

    Advice: The positive news here is that Lowe hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet after suffering a fractured right pinky toe during Saturday’s game when he was hit by a pitch. The 29-year-old second baseman is day-to-day for now. There should be some clarity on his status in a couple days, if not sooner, depending on whether he’s feeling well enough to return.

  • Brandon Lowe suffers broken pinkie toe on Saturday
    Brandon Lowe suffered a broken right pinkie toe when he was hit by a pitch during Saturday’s game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Fortunately, it doesn’t sound like Lowe should require a trip to the injured list. There’s nothing that you can really do about a broken toe, it’s more of a pain tolerance thing than anything. Expect him to miss a game or two — and perhaps be less active on the basepaths — but it shouldn’t lead to an extended absence for the 29-year-old slugger. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:07 pm
     
  • Suffers broken toe
    Lowe suffered a broken pinky toe during Saturday's game against the Pirates, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Lowe was hit by a pitch in the first inning of the contest and was removed in the sixth frame with what was initially deemed a right foot contusion. However, further evaluation showed that Lowe actually sustained a broken toe. Per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Lowe isn't expected to require an IL stint at this point.

  • Brandon Lowe leaves game with foot contusion
    Brandon Lowe was pulled from Saturday’s battle against the Pirates with a right foot contusion.

    Advice: It’s unclear exactly when the injury occurred, but Lowe was lifted from Saturday’s game just before his at-bat in the fifth inning. He should be considered day-to-day, but given his extensive injury history, you just never know how much time Lowe will need before he’s able to return to the lineup.

  • Has bruised right foot
    Lowe was removed from Saturday's game against the Pirates with a right foot contusion, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Isaac Paredes came in for Lowe in the sixth inning after Lowe sustained a right foot injury stemming from a first-inning hit-by-pitch. While the injury seems relatively minor, Lowe should continue to be evaluated ahead of Sunday's series finale. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:39 pm
     
  • Gleyber Torres returns to lineup on Saturday
    Gleyber Torres (groin) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Braves.

    Advice: Torres sat out Friday’s series opener following an early exit from Thursday’s game due to right groin tightness. It’s a positive sign that he’s back in the lineup and it confirms the belief from Yankees manager Aaron Boone that Torres wasn’t dealing with anything major. Rotoworld Saturday, 12:01 pm
     
  • Back in lineup Saturday
