New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway said that third baseman Jed Lowrie (hamstring, knee) is a ways away from a return. Lowrie has yet to make his season debut in his first year in New York, and it's fair to wonder at this point if he'll even make it back before the All-Star break. Those that spent a draft pick on him have to be sorely disappointed. [...]

New York Mets second basemen Jed Lowrie (hamstring) has been moved to the 60-day IL. Lowrie has already spent 53 days on the 10-day IL so this move is not a sign that he will be out long term. However, there has been little to no news since he suffered a setback early last week, so there are no indications pointing to an immediate return either.

New York Mets second basemen Jed Lowrie suffered a hamstring strain on Tuesday. Lowrie has yet to see the field this season due to a sprained left knee capsule and was initially expected to be activated on Friday. This new injury will now send him back to Port St. Lucie, and he will be reevaluated in two weeks.

It has been a particularly interesting week in terms of attention-grabbing storylines, to say the least. Addison Russell made a controversial return to the Cubs lineup to a crowd of mixed feelings, Mike Fiers embarrassed the Cincinnati Reds with his second-career no-hitter, and another MLB game was curiously delayed due to a massive swarm of bees. It can be difficult to stay fully tuned in to the baseball season as the beginning of the summer months arrives, especially with the NBA and NHL playo[...]

New York Mets third baseman Jed Lowrie (knee) won't be activated from the injured list on Friday. Instead, he'll play for Triple-A Syracuse over the weekend and the Mets will re-evaluate him for next week. Those who have stashed the veteran infielder will have to wait a few more days. Lowrie isn't hitting the ball very much on his rehab assignment, so the team wants to give him a little more time. He should play most of the time at the hot corner, but don't expect Lowrie to give you numbers as [...]

It's not a lock that New York Mets third baseman Jed Lowrie (knee) will return from the injured list on Friday. Team officials are still discussing whether Lowrie is ready or if he'll benefit from more rehab games. At worst, Lowrie will probably return early next week. The 35-year-old switch-hitter has just two hits in his 23 at-bats between Triple-A Syracuse and High-A St. Lucie, so perhaps he needs to play in a few more games. Either way, he's set to make his debut with the team soon, where h[...]

New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway said that third baseman Jed Lowrie (knee) could join the Mets as soon as Friday. Lowrie has yet to play for the Mets in his first season, but that could change as early as this weekend. The 2018 All-Star should see regular playing time, but he'll need to play well to hold off Todd Frazier and J.D. Davis at the hot corner. After already missing the first month of the season, don't expect the 35-year-old veteran to come anywhere close to his numbers a year [...]

Baseball is neither fair nor consistent, this much we all know. It is however, predictable. Not in the sense that we know what will happen with each player taking each individual AB, but in the sense that based on the complete picture of performance formed by a player's peripheral figures, we can typically feel a certain degree of confidence that a player will either sustain their current level of play or gradually drift closer to their baseline of true ability. That's why it is beyond maddening[...]
