Rotowire
Lowe suffered a right knee contusion in Thursday's contest against the Cardinals, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
Lowe fouled a pitch off his right leg in the top of the first inning before ultimately striking out in what ended up being his only at-bat. The outfielder exited the contest before the bottom of the frame and subsequently underwent X-rays, which came back negative. Lowe should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.
Lowe went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double and three RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Astros.
Lowe entered the game with just five homers on the year, and none of them had come since his two-homer game June 21 versus the Pirates. He repeated the feat Saturday, hitting a two-run blast in the fifth inning and a solo shot in the seventh. While he hasn't displayed much power recently, he has gone 16-for-48 (.333) with eight RBI and three stolen bases across his last 14 contests. For the year, he has a .239/.299/.418 slash line, seven long balls, 10 steals, 22 RBI, 20 runs scored and 12 doubles over 201 plate appearances.
