Availability
The Marlins have placed outfielder Kyle Stowers on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain.
Fantasy Impact
The move is a formality, as the Marlins knew Stowers would miss the first three to four weeks of the season with his hamstring issue. It's a significant, early-season blow for a Marlins team looking to make the next step in 2026 after Stowers raked for a .288 average alongside 25 home runs and a .912 OPS across 117 games for the Marlins a season ago.
Kyle Stowers will open the season on the 15-day injured list after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain.
Fantasy Impact
Stowers recently aggravated a previous hamstring injury he had been dealing with. It is expected to leave him sidelined for 3-4 weeks to start the season. Barring any setbacks, he could return by the end of April.
Kyle Stowers is scheduled to undergo imaging on his hamstring injury.
Fantasy Impact
Stowers departed Friday's game early with the injury. There should be an update on his status in the coming days. It is possible he opens the season next week on the injured list.
Stowers strained his right hamstring earlier this spring and missed two weeks before returning. He was removed from Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros with hamstring tightness, raising the possibility that he opens the regular season on the injured list.
Fantasy Impact
The severity of the latest setback is unclear, but if Stowers is sidelined, Griffin Conine and Heriberto Hernandez would be next in line for outfield starts.
Stowers (hamstring) has dealt with a mild right hamstring strain. His recovery has advanced to the point where game action is approaching.
Fantasy Impact
Saturday's Grapefruit League matchup against St. Louis will mark his spring debut. Miami plans to use Stowers in the outfield rather than easing him back as the designated hitter. Opening Day availability is not expected to be jeopardized.
