He spent half of his time in the big leagues playing for the A's, and his lone All-Star appearance came with Oakland in ...

In 139 games in 2021, Lowrie hit .245/.318/.398 with 14 home runs, 69 RBI and 55 runs scored in 512 plate appearances. At this point in his career, it's unlikely that another team will attempt to ...

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie (wrist, shoulder) will miss his fifth straight game on Wednesday as the team takes on the Boston Red Sox. Tony Kemp will be manning the keystone once again with Stephen Vogt filling in as designated hitter. Lowrie is dealing with both wrist and shoulder soreness. He remains day-to-day for now. The 38-year-old has been held to just 40 games this year. He's slashed .207/.278/.304 with three home runs, 16 RBI and 14 runs.

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. It will be the fourth game in a row on the bench for Lowrie as he deals with lower back tightness. It remains to be seen if he'll return for the second game of the twin bill. Tony Kemp is starting at the keystone and is batting ninth for Game 1 on Tuesday against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. Kemp is a low-cost, low-upside DFS play, as ...

Oakland Athletics infielder Jed Lowrie (undisclosed) was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Minnesota Twins. The reason Lowrie was scratched from Sunday's lineup is unknown at this time, and he's considered day-to-day. He was initially batting third and listed as the team's starting designated hitter for Sunday's contest. Lowrie is slashing .200/..275/.267 with one homer, five RBI, six runs, and a stolen base across 51 plate appearances in 2022. Bill McKinney is starting in left field ...

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie is not in the starting lineup on Thursday. The switch-hitting infielder appears to be getting a normal day of rest in the matinee affair. Through four games, Lowrie has hit .250 (3-for-12) with one home run and four RBI in 14 plate appearances. Tony Kemp will start at the keystone and hit leadoff on Thursday against Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Josh Fleming. Kemp has very little power to speak of, but he's off to a good start in 23 plate appearances ...

The Oakland Athletics placed both shortstop Elvis Andrus (leg) and second baseman Jed Lowrie (hand) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Both players are done for the regular season and can be dropped in all redraft fantasy leagues. Andrus was diagnosed with a fractured left fibula in his lower leg. He suffered the injury while running the bases in Saturday's game. Lowrie, meanwhile, has a sprained right hand that has been bothering him all month, forcing him to only bat left-handed in ...

Oakland Athletics second baseman/designated hitter Jed Lowrie is not in the lineup for the fourth time in six games for Monday's matchup against the Seattle Mariners. The A's were facing a lefty in all of those games, so it's clear he's in a strict platoon. He's slashing .244/.317/.396 with 14 HRs over 135 games and has a .686 OPS against southpaws. Khris Davis will get his fourth start at DH in the past six games. Fantasy managers should ignore him in all leagues as he's hitting an ugly .200 ...

Oakland Athletics second baseman/designated hitter Jed Lowrie is not in the lineup for Thursday's matchup against the Kansas City Royals. Lowrie is slashing .246/.321/.400 this year with 14 HRs, 68 RBI, and 55 runs over 131 games. However, he has just a .686 OPS off of lefties this season, so with left-hander Daniel Lynch on the hill, it wouldn't be a good matchup. Khris Davis will DH in Lowrie's place and bat fifth. He owns a .613 OPS with two home runs in 31 games this season. Davis is not ...
