The American League East leaders also reinstated first baseman Ji-Man Choi (left hamstring strain) and right-hander Matt Wisler (right middle finger inflammation) from the 10-day injured list. Lowe, 23, was Tampa Bay’s first-round pick (13th overall) in 2016 and is batting .282 with 21 homers, 73 RBIs and 24 stolen bases in 98 games this season at Durham.
Choi, 30, has not played since Aug. 22. He is hitting .250 with nine homers and 38 RBIs in 64 games this season.
