Nathaniel Lowe's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Washington Nationals have acquired first baseman Nathaniel Lowe from the Texas Rangers in exchange for left-handed pitcher Robert Garcia. Lowe has spent the past four seasons of his major league career playing in Texas. Last summer across 140 games, the 29-year-old posted a .265/.361/.401 line with 16 home runs, 16 doubles, 69 RBI, and two stolen bases. He held a stellar 12.6% walk rate which placed him the 97th percentile among qualified hitters. Lowe has hit at least 15+ home runs in each of the past four seasons while having an OBP of at least .357. Fantasy managers should expect Lowe to operate as the everyday first baseman in D.C. This transaction will also open the door for Jake Burger to be the everyday first baseman in Texas, who the Rangers acquired earlier this offseason.

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe went 3-for-4 in Saturday's 9-8 win over the Angels, including a walk, a double, and belting his 15th home run of the year. The 29-year-old also collected three RBI and scored three times in the contest. Lowe's numbers would have been in line with 2023's results had he not missed time due to injury, but it would still have been a far cry from 2022 when he blasted 27 home runs, hit .302, and registered a wRC+ of 143. With one game to go, the Mississippi State product's line is .259-14-64-57-2 with a .328 wOBA and 114 wRC+.

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe had his fourth two-hit game in his past six during Monday's 6-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals that included his ninth homer. Lowe hit a two-run shot in the top of the seventh, finishing 2-for-4 with two runs scored. He has added 10 points to his batting average since returning from the All-Star break and is hitting .272/.366/.403 with 45 RBI, 39 runs scored, and two stolen bases. Lowe is a valuable asset for fantasy managers in leagues that feature OBP while his current run is helping his fantasy managers see a gain in batting average.

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe blasted two home runs and collected four RBI Tuesday night in a 7-0 victory against the San Diego Padres. Lowe smacked a two-run home run in the first inning off Cease and followed suit off Cease with another two-run home run again in the third inning. Lowe hasn't produced a lot of offense this season with only six home runs, 33 RBI, and a .269 batting average. Batting third in the middle of a potent Rangers offense will always give fantasy managers some intrigue when it comes to the 28-year-old veteran, but he's an underwhelming offensive player when it comes to fantasy. Hopefully, you have better options available at the position.

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe went 2-for-5 in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Brewers. Lowe singled, homered, and drove in three runs in the contest. It was Lowe's third home run of the season, but first since May 14. The 28-year-old makes decent contact (85.1%), strikes out lower than league average, and walks at a rate higher than league average, but outside of runs and RBI, it doesn't translate into great fantasy production. He owns a .256-3-24-24-2 line with a .314 wOBA and 101 wRC+ on the season in 236 plate appearances.
