Josh Lowe sits for Angels against Yankees due to neck stiffness
Summary

The Los Angeles Angels scratched outfielder Josh Lowe from Wednesday’s lineup against the New York Yankees due to neck stiffness. With Lowe unavailable, Wade Meckler has been moved to right field, while Jose Siri enters the starting lineup in left field. The Angels currently have limited depth in the outfield, carrying only four players officially designated to those positions on their active roster. Lowe has appeared in 95 games this season, recording 10 home runs and 27 runs batted in. The team maintains additional roster flexibility with players like Kyren Paris, Christian Moore, and Adam Frazier, all of whom have experience filling in at outfield positions if further reinforcements are required.
