April 11, 2024 12:31 PM : Lowe (oblique) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Friday with Double-A Frisco, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.
Analysis: Lowe, who has been on the shelf all season with a right oblique strain, responded well to taking batting practice and running the bases Wednesday and will now get the green light for the final phase of his recovery program. Considering that he's been working his way back from the injury for more than a month, Lowe may require more than a couple of rehab games to get his timing back at the plate, so an activation from the 10-day injured list might not come until the middle or back end of next week. Whenever Lowe is reinstated, he'll likely take back a full-time role at first base, resulting in Jared Walsh losing out on playing time.
