Rotowire
Lowe started at first base and went 2-for-6 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Mets.
Lowe made his starting debut for the Guardians and should remain a starter whenever the club faces a right-hander. He was a big part of Cleveland overcoming an early 3-0 deficit, lacing a game-tying, two-run single the fifth inning. He and Rhys Hoskins will work the platoon at first base, as the team demoted Kyle Manzardo on Monday after acquiring Lowe from the Reds.

Reds' Nathaniel Lowe: Three hits, two RBI in win
Rotowire
Lowe went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Cardinals.
Lowe has gone 8-for-25 (.320) with two home runs and seven RBI over six games since the All-Star break. While he's still in a part-time role, he's heating up with the bat, which could help him carve out more playing time in a battle with Eugenio Suarez and others.
