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.
