Kyle

Stowers

Stowers broke out with his best game at the plate, starting with a double in the first inning. He then took Zack Littell deep for a two-run blast in the fourth for his first home run of the season. Stowers later added a single and a run scored in the eighth. The 28-year-old slugger is hitting .239/.320/.343 with one homer, ten runs scored, and three RBI across 75 plate appearances.

Edwards, who slugged his third round-tripper of the season during Friday’s series opener, seems to be Miami’s preferred top-of-the-order option with Otto Lopez, Liam Hicks and Kyle Stowers rounding out the heart of the order. The 26-year-old’s speed makes him an interesting leadoff option and should translate into a few extra stolen base opportunities moving forward.

Hicks was a late scratch on Tuesday with an illness, but he will just miss one game and be back in the lineup. Agustin Ramirez is out of the lineup with Kyle Stowers at DH and Esteury Ruiz starting in left field and batting ninth.

This seems like a routine day off for Stowers, who has played in all three games since coming off the injured list with a hamstring strain. Heriberto Hernandez will play left field and bat sixth.

Sure, why not. It’s probably been a few years since Edwards hit cleanup at any sort of level, but he went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks and an RBI in his first shot there on Monday evening with Kyle Stowers hitting second. The 26-year-old speedster isn’t long for the heart of the order, but the Marlins don’t exactly have a ton of alternatives unless someone like Agustín Ramírez is going to heat up.

Stowers made his season debut on Sunday and immediately got hit in the wrist with a 102 mph fastball. He was able to stay in the game and is right back out there on Monday, so fantasy managers and Marlins fans can breathe a sigh of relief. It’s a bit odd to see him hitting second with Xavier Edwards batting cleanup, but perhaps the Marlins are focused on getting Stowers as many at-bats as possible. If this does stick, it would meaningfully hurt Stowers’ potential RBI numbers this season.

As expected, Stowers will make his 2026 season debut on Sunday against the Brewers. The 28-year-old slugger has been shelved since the end of spring training due to a hamstring strain. He went 3-for-17 (.176) over five games on a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville. He should be rostered in all formats and fantasy managers shouldn’t hesitate to get him into lineups as soon as possible.

Stowers will rejoin Miami’s lineup as their everyday left fielder following a three-week absence at the outset of the season while recovering from a hamstring strain. The 28-year-old corner outfielder wrapped up a minor league rehab assignment on Friday night with Triple-A Jacksonville, finishing 3-for-17 over five games. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats following last year’s impressive 25-homer breakthrough campaign.

Stowers kicked off a minor league rehab assignment last Friday and has gone 3-for-17 in five games as he attempts to knock off some of the rust. The 28-year-old corner outfielder suffered a hamstring injury late in spring training that put him on the shelf. He might need a couple additional rehab contests before returning to Miami for his season debut.

Stowers is set to play another game on his minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday. After that, he’ll talk to the team’s medical staff to assess his status and it sounds like if everything checks out, he could then be cleared to rejoin the active roster. The 28-year-old slugger has hit just .133 (2-for-15) with one RBI and a 6/0 K/BB ratio through his first four minor league rehab contests.
