ST. PETERSBURG — The crutches in Brandon Lowe’s locker and the ultrasound device tucked inside the compression sock on his deeply bruised right leg Thursday were clear indicators he wouldn’t be playing anytime soon.
The Rays placing him on the 10-day injured list also knocks him out of Tuesday’s All-Star Game that he was excited to be chosen for. Nate Lowe, no relation, was called up.
Now the question shifts to how long Brandon Lowe will be out.
He said he was feeling “much better” Thursday than Wednesday, which was the day after he fouled consecutive pitches off his right shin.
