The 38-year-old Lowrie wrapped up his career in a 50-game stint with the A's last season before being designated for assignment. He made his only All-Star team with the A's in 2018, which was also the best season of his career. Injures have plagued him in recent years, including a forgettable tenure with the Mets. He'll walk away with a .257/.330/.406 batting line and 1,185 career hits over 1,307 major league games. 

Lowrie was designated for assignment by the A's on Wednesday and predictably passed through waivers without interest from another team. The 38-year-old had batted just .180/.245/.263 in 50 games this season.

Lowrie signed a one-year, $850,000 free agent contract with the Athletics shortly after the lockout ended in March and went on to slash just .180/.245/.263 in 50 games (184 plate appearances) this season. The 38-year-old may be nearing the end of the road here in his 14th major league campaign.

Recovered from a left shoulder strain, Lowrie will DH and bat seventh for the A's on Tuesday night against the Angels. The 38-year-old has slashed just .185/.251/.272 in 46 games when healthy this season.
