Overview

  • Brandon Lowe was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 20 due to left ankle and foot tendinitis that has limited his running and fielding.
  • Tampa Bay acquired 29-year-old Stuart Fairchild from Atlanta for cash considerations, adding a right-handed outfielder capable of covering all three spots.
  • To clear a 40-man roster spot, reliever Manuel Rodríguez was moved from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list with a right forearm strain.
  • Before this latest injury, Lowe batted .269 with 19 home runs, 11 doubles and three stolen bases in 87 games; the Rays also hold a club option on him for 2026.
  • The move underscores Tampa Bay’s continued reliance on injured-list transactions and positional versatility to sustain depth in a competitive division.
