Marlins To Activate Kyle Stowers On Sunday
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Miami Marlins will activate All-Star outfielder Kyle Stowers from the 10-day injured list before their game against the Brewers on Sunday, marking his 2026 season debut.
- Stowers missed the start of the season due to a Grade 1 right hamstring strain sustained during Spring Training, with a recovery period of 3-4 weeks; he completed a five-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville.
- During rehab, Stowers also gained experience playing first base, a position he might cover at the MLB level to help the Marlins' depth at that spot.
- Stowers is the highest-profile injured player returning, which is significant as the Marlins have been managing absences, including Christopher Morel's oblique strain that affected their first base options.
- In 2025, Stowers had a breakout season with a .288 batting average, 25 home runs, and a 4.0 fWAR over 117 games, making his return a major boost for Miami's offense.
