Rays put OF Josh Lowe on 10-day IL with strained right oblique, a year after he had similar injury

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays put outfielder Josh Lowe on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique.

The Rays recalled outfielder Jake Mangum from Triple-A Durham on Saturday to take Lowe's spot on the roster.

Lowe was hurt in Tampa Bay's opener on Friday, a year after he missed 46 games with a similar injury.

He grounded out in his first at-bat and felt discomfort when he fouled off a pitch during his plate appearance in the fifth. Lowe hit a single on the next pitch and winced as he left the batter’s box and ran gingerly to first.
