Nelson Cruz is the scariest bat in the Tampa Bay Rays lineup, but he will be missing for at least a couple of days after being placed on the COVID-19 IL. Although it is impossible to replace Cruz’s bat, they have a pretty good option sitting in Triple-A.

Where is Josh Lowe?

Josh Lowe is the Tampa Bay Rays’ fourth overall prospect and the 79th overall prospect in all of baseball. Lowe was a first-round pick by the Rays in 2016 and has been crushing the baseball in Durham all season.
