Jed Lowrie - SS - Athletics

Jed Lowrie left Tuesday's game with a right foot contusion.

Lowrie was hit on the foot by a Yu Darvish pitch. It's not clear at this point if the ailment will cause him to miss additional time, but it's likely a day-to-day situation in all likelihood.

Jed Lowrie went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice-fly RBI in Saturday's victory against Kansas City.

Lowrie pounded the ball in April, batting .333 with a .938 OPS and 15 RBI in 102 plate appearances. The 29-year-old suffered a strained neck at the end of the month and hasn't been the same since, batting .232/.328/.286 with no homers, four RBI and one run scored over 56 May plate appearances. It's possible that the oft-injured infielder is trying to play through a malady that would be better treated by rest.

Jed Lowrie (neck) went 2-for-9 with an RBI single, a double and two runs scored in his return to action Monday.

Lowrie was scratched from Sunday's lineup with a slight neck strain, but he played all 19 innings on Monday. The 29-year-old is hitting .333 (34-for-102) with three homers, 11 RBI and a .938 OPS in 26 games this season.

Jed Lowrie was scratched from Sunday's lineup with a slight neck strain.

It's not considered a big deal, as Lowrie thinks he could play Monday. Adam Rosales is playing shortstop instead on Sunday.

Jed Lowrie will start at second base Friday for the first time this season.

Lowrie's previous 22 starts this season were all at shortstop, but Athletics manager Bob Melvin has decided to test his versatility. Adam Rosales, who was activated from the disabled list Thursday, will make the start at shortstop.

Jed Lowrie went 3-for-5 on Wednesday, raising his average to .366.

He appeared to have his fourth hit and second double in the ninth, but the ump ruled he pulled the ball just foul down the right-field line in the 6-5 loss to the Red Sox. Replays were inconclusive, but the mark the ball left suggested it caught a little bit of line.

Jed Lowrie went 4-for-4 with an RBI single Friday in a loss to the Rays.

It was his eighth multi-hit game of the season. Lowrie is now hitting an astonishing .413 (26-for-63) through 17 games. That obviously isn't going to last, but the 29-year-old has the potential to be a top-10 fantasy shortstop if he can stay on the field. Of course, he has never played more than 97 games on the season, so we aren't counting on it.

Batting second tonight, Jed Lowrie homered and doubled twice Wednesday against the Mariners.

Lowrie hit fifth against right-handers the first two days before moving up to second with John Jaso sitting versus a lefty tonight. Both are perfectly reasonable spots for him, but it'd be better for his fantasy value if he got to his second more.

Jed Lowrie hit his first home run of the spring on Thursday in the A's defeat of the Mariners.

Lowrie finished the day 1-for-2 with a walk, two runs scored and two RBI. He is expected to serve as the A's primary third baseman this season, but he could see action at multiple spots on the infield. That multi-position eligibility makes him valuable in fantasy leagues.

Jed Lowrie - SS - Athletics

Athletics acquired SS Jed Lowrie and RHP Fernando Rodriguez from the Astros in exchange for 1B Chris Carter, RHP Brad Peacock and C Max Stassi.

Lowrie's power production could take a real hit playing half his games in O.co Coliseum, but this is a solid win-now move by the A's. Hiroyuki Nakajima is expected to remain the starter at shortstop, which means Lowrie should get most of his playing time at second base, but he's expected to see time at other infield spots, as well. Meanwhile, Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow has further stocked his farm system with some nice pieces.

Astros avoided arbitration with SS Jed Lowrie by agreeing to a one-year, $2.4 million contract.

It's the second year of arbitration eligibility for Lowrie, who will have the opportunity to make more through incentives. The 28-year-old batted .244/.331/.438 with 16 homers in his first year with the Astros but was limited to just 97 games due to injury. He'll return as their everyday shortstop in 2013.

ESPN's Buster Olney reports that despite a lot of interest, the Astros prefer to keep Jed Lowrie.

Of course, that could change if they get blown away with an offer. With a rebuilding team like the Astros, the possibility of a trade shouldn't be ruled out. Lowrie missed two months this past season due to knee and ankle injuries, but batted .244/.331/.438 with 16 home runs, 42 RBI and a .769 OPS. He remains under team control through 2014.

Buster Olney of ESPN.com reports that multiple teams have expressed interest in Jed Lowrie.

Meanwhile, the Astros are intent on keeping Lowrie unless they are completely overwhelmed. The 28-year-old shortstop missed two months this season due to knee and ankle injuries, but batted .244/.331/.438 with 16 home runs, 42 RBI and a .769 OPS.

Jed Lowrie - SS - Athletics

Jed Lowrie bashed a three-run homer, leading the Astros in a 7-1 thrashing of the Pirates on Friday.

Lowrie finished the night 1-for-3 with two runs scored and three RBI. His three-run shot off Jeff Locke in the first inning was one of three Astros homers in the game, and proved to be the difference. It was Lowrie's first homer since returning from the disabled list, and gives him 15 bombs and 41 RBI on the year.
