ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays reinstated outfielder Josh Lowe from the 10-day injured list before Monday night’s game with the Chicago White Sox.
Lowe has been out since opening day due to a right oblique strain that occurred during spring training, and experienced right hamstring tightness in late April just before he was expected to rejoin the team.
Lowe hit .292 with 20 homers, 83 RBIs and stole 32 bases last season.
Right-hander Edwin Uceta had his contract selected from Triple-A Durham, where he was 0-1 with a 7.00 ERA in 10 games. Uceta appeared in 25 games, going 0-3, in 2021-23 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks and New York Mets.
Tampa Bay used six relievers in Sunday’s 7-6, 10-inning win over the Mets after starter Ryan Pepiot was hit by a 107.5 mph liner on his left calf and exited the game.
X-rays taken Sunday on Pepiot were negative.
To make room on the 26-man roster, infielder Curtis Mead and reliever Jacob Lopez were optioned to Durham.
Infielder-outfielder Niko Goodrum was designated for release or assignment.
