Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe could miss Opening Day with an oblique strain, manager Bruce Bochy said Friday.
Lowe, a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger winner, has a timeline for returning from the muscle injury of at least three weeks. He hit .262 with 17 home runs and 82 RBIs in 2023 but had three hits in 18 at-bats this spring.
Texas opens the season March 28 against the Chicago Cubs.
Lowe, 28, played 161 games in the regular season last year and was in the lineup for all 17 postseason games the Rangers played.
