"While hamstring strains can often be serious issues, with even relatively minor strains costing players upwards of a month, it seems Stowers's strain was caught early enough that it shouldn't be a major problem for him. McCullough indicated that Stowers will be sidelined for just a week or two before returning to game action, and that he could resume taking at-bats outside of games within the next few days."
"That's great news for the Marlins given that Stowers is their best and most established hitter on the roster at the moment. The 2025 All Star is coming off a rookie campaign where he slashed an excellent .288/.368/.544 with 25 homers and 21 doubles in 117 games."
"If the Marlins are going to build on their third-place finish in the NL East last year and push back over .500 for the first time since their surprise postseason appearance back in 2023, they'll need Stowers to be healthy and firing on all cylinders."
Miami Marlins star outfielder Kyle Stowers was scratched from today's lineup due to hamstring tightness. Imaging revealed a very minor right hamstring strain. Manager Clayton McCullough expects Stowers to miss one to two weeks and could resume taking at-bats in a few days. The 2025 All-Star had an excellent rookie season, batting .288/.368/.544 with 25 home runs and 21 doubles in 117 games. Stowers is the Marlins' best hitter and crucial to their hopes of improving on last year's third-place NL East finish. The team will likely be cautious with his return given Opening Day is one month away to avoid re-aggravation.
