Brandon Lowe to see specialist, Jonathan Aranda nearing return to Rays

Brandon Lowe is still feeling something related to the right oblique strain that has sidelined him for more than a month, enough so that he paused his rehab assignment to visit a doctor in Nashville. Another infielder on rehab, Jonathan Aranda, may be close to a return. After a slow start following his recovery from a spring broken right ring finger, Aranda had hits in six of his last seven games for Triple-A Durham, with four, including a 434-foot homer, on Sunday. Lowe, out since early April, played his fourth game for Durham on Sunday, striking out three times and hitting a 423-foot, 105-mph three-run homer in his last at-bat.
