Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (oblique) has been shut down after suffering a setback during his minor-league rehab assignment. Stowers underwent additional imaging after dealing with some general soreness over the weekend. It has been announced that Stowers suffered a strained right side during a rehab game. The hope was that Stowers could return this week, but that seems unlikely now. The Marlins haven't given another timetable on his return, but it wouldn't be shocking to see Stowers be done for the season. The Marlins season isn't going anywhere, so they have little incentive to rush Stowers back to the field. For now, fantasy managers can continue to hold Stowers on their IR until the Marlins give an official timeframe on his return.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (oblique) has returned to Miami to be re-evaluated on Monday after he was unable to play for Triple-A Jacksonville on his minor-league rehab assignment the last two days, according to Isaac Izaout of Fish On First. Stowers started his rehab assignment with the Jumbo Shrimp on Friday night but was held out on Saturday and Sunday due to fatigue after going 0-for-3 as the designated hitter. The 27-year-old breakout star has been on the 10-day injured list since the middle of August, and it's unclear if he's had a setback with his strained oblique or if he's dealing with another issue, but his availability for the remainder of the 2025 season is now firmly in question. For the time being, Joey Wiemer should continue to see most of the playing time in right field in Miami, with Victor Mesa Jr. also being an option for more starts in the outfield.UPDATE: Stower underwent imaging on his side on Monday.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (oblique) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Isaac Azout of Fish on First reports. Stowers has been on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 strain of his left oblique since Aug. 17, but he could return to the Marlins sometime in the next week. That's welcome news for fantasy managers, as the 27-year-old has unexpectedly broken out this season. Stowers earned a place on the National League All-Star team and has slashed .288/.368/.544 with 25 homers, 73 RBI, 61 runs scored, and five stolen bases over 117 games and 457 plate appearances.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (oblique) is set to begin baseball activities on Wednesday. The breakout star has been shelved since Aug. 17 with a Grade 1 strain of his left oblique, but he's on track to begin a rehab assignment this weekend. If all goes well, he should rejoin the Marlins sometime next week. The injury put an early end to the worst month of the season for Stowers, who hit .228/.308/.386 with two home runs over 15 games in August. The 27-year-old has thrived overall, having slashed .288/.368/.544 with 25 homers, 73 RBI, 61 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 457 plate appearances.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (side) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Stowers was reportedly held out on Saturday as a precaution, but manager Clayton McCullough announced he's going to the shelf due to a Grade 1 left side strain. This is the type of injury that is going to take several weeks to heal. That being said, Stowers might not be back until possibly mid-September. That's a tough blow to the Marlins lineup considering Stowers breakout campaign. For now, fantasy managers should stash Stowers on their IR until more news is known. Heriberto Hernandez started in left field on Saturday. Also, outfielder Joey Wiemer was recalled to take over Stowers' spot on the active roster.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (side) is out of the lineup Saturday against the Boston Red Sox with tightness in his left side, manager Clayton McCullough told reporters. There's no indication that Stowers will require a stint on the 10-day injured list, as McCullough said he's sitting Saturday as a precaution. While Stowers has slumped to a .228/.308/.386 line in 15 games this month, this season has been a resounding success for the first-time All-Star. Stowers, 27, has slashed .288/.368/.544 with 25 homers, 73 RBI, 61 runs scored, and five stolen bases over 457 plate appearances. With Stowers taking a seat Saturday, Heriberto Hernandez will start in left field and hit sixth against right-hander Brayan Bello.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers came up clutch for his team during Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. He came up to the plate and delivered a three-run home run off Brent Headrick in the fourth inning. Stowers finished this game going 2-for-4 with a homer and four RBI in the win. The Yankees are certainly happy this series is over as Stowers hit two homers with eight RBI during this three-game series. Stowers is having a nice breakout campaign and deserves to be rostered in most fantasy formats right now.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (illness) is feeling better and is starting in left field and hitting cleanup in Tuesday's game against the hosting St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Sonny Gray at Busch Stadium. Stowers was scratched from the series opener on Monday but will return the very next day. The 27-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder has never faced Gray in his career, but fantasy managers will want to get Stowers back into their starting lineups immediately the way he's been swinging the bat. In his last 12 games, the breakout star is hitting an absurd .439 (18-for-41) with seven home runs and four doubles. He comes into Tuesday's tilt slashing a robust .299/.379/.573 with a .952 OPS, 23 home runs, 63 RBI, 52 runs scored and five stolen bases. Stowers' strong season earned him his first All-Star appearance this summer.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (illness) has been scratched from Monday's series opener at Busch Stadium against the hosting St. Louis Cardinals due to an illness, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. Heriberto Hernandez will take over for Stowers in left field and will hit cleanup against Cardinals right-hander Andre Pallante. Fantasy managers will need to remove Stowers from their starting lineups and check back on Tuesday to see if he's feeling good enough to return to the lineup. The 27-year-old former second-round pick by the Baltimore Orioles in 2019 out of Stanford has been one of the better breakout position players in 2025, as he's currently hitting .299 (100-for-335) with 23 home runs, 63 RBI, 52 runs and five stolen bases. Hopefully, Stowers returns to action for Game 2 of the series in St. Louis on Tuesday.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers continued his stunning breakout campaign in an 8-7 win over the Kansas City Royals on Friday. The first-time All-Star smashed a pair of two-run homers, including a walk-off in the 10th inning, to highlight a 3-for-5, five-RBI night. Remarkably, Stowers has gone 8-for-10 with five HRs, 11 RBI, and six runs scored in his past two games. He's up to eight dingers in 13 contests this month, giving him 21 on the season. The 27-year-old is also slashing a superb .298/.371/.563 with 59 RBI and 48 runs over 351 plate appearances. With Stowers ranking in the league's top 6% of hitters in xwOBA, xSLG, barrel rate, and hard-hit percentage, he doesn't look like someone who's going to fade down the stretch.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers had a huge day in his team's 11-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. The 27-year-old lefty-swinger went five-for-five with three home runs, an additional run scored, and six RBI. Stowers becomes the second player in MLB history to record a three-homer game against a former team after New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger did it against the Chicago Cubs on Friday night. The Marlins acquired Stowers from Baltimore as part of the return for left-hander Trevor Rodgers in July 2024. That deal looks like a fleecing for Miami, as Stowers has enjoyed a breakout 2025 season. In 346 plate appearances, he's slashing .293/.368/.543 with 19 home runs, 54 RBI, 46 runs scored, and four stolen bases. Stowers will suit up for the National League in the All-Star Game on Tuesday.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Stowers will head to the bench for the first time since June 29. The left-handed slugger has been solid recently with at least one hit in 13 of his last 15 games. In his absence, Heriberto Hernandez will take over in left field and bat third versus left-hander Andrew Abbott. Hernandez doesn't offer enough upside to warrant streaming against a tough southpaw in Abbott. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups ahead of first pitch.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers homered in his team's 2-0 win over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. Stowers is in the midst of a breakout campaign, hitting .283 with 14 home runs, 38 runs scored, and 44 RBI in 305 plate appearances. With an elevated 28.6% strikeout rate, though, Stowers may be in for some batting average regression over the second half of the season. However, he's posting elite barrel and hard-hit rates of 19.2% and 52.7%, respectively, and his .545 xSLG is better than his actual .509 slugging percentage. Stowers is a quality outfield option in all fantasy formats heading into the second half of the season.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers hit a three-run home run and walked twice in Thursday's 12-5 victory over the Giants. He had cooled off after being one of the hottest hitters in the league over the first two months, but it looks like he may be coming around again. This was the 27-year-old's second home run in the past four games, and he was batting .286 over the past two weeks entering the day. He's now slashing .275/.351/.482 with 12 home runs, 38 RBI, 35 runs, and three stolen bases this season. The youngster is worth an add if you need outfielder help, especially in five-outfielder leagues.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez and Kyle Stowers will head to the bench on Wednesday against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies with a lefty on the mound. Heriberto Hernandez is starting in right field and batting cleanup, while Javier Sanoja is in left field and hitting ninth against Phillies lefty Ranger Suarez. It's the second straight game on the bench for Sanchez with the Fish facing another southpaw. He has hit just .172 (5-for-29) with one of his seven homers on the year and 10 K's in 33 trips to the plate against lefties. The 27-year-old could be back on the bench in Thursday's series finale with another lefty on tap. Hernandez is in a prime run-producing spot in the lineup and has been hot in his first 13 big-league games, going 12-for-34 (.353) with a homer, two doubles and three RBI. Sanoja should be faded as a deep DFS sleeper.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (hand) remains out of the starting nine on Sunday when the Marlins conclude a series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Stowers has been held out of action since Wednesday's contest. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in case he does not progress and needs a stint on the injured list. Before his injury, Stowers held a .245/.308/.464 line with four doubles, one triple, and six home runs over his last 30 contests. This afternoon, the Marlins will give Javier Sanoja the starting nod in left field. He will bat in the nine-hole. Fantasy managers should monitor Stowers' status leading up to their next contest on Monday against the Pirates. This afternoon, the Marlins are best to fade in DFS facing Tampa Bay right-hander Drew Rasmussen, who enters this game with a 2.14 ERA.

Miami Marlins manager Clayton McCullough reports that outfielder Kyle Stowers (hand) will miss his second straight outing due to "lingering hand soreness." McCullough noted that the Stanford product will be available to pinch-hit. It was strange that Stowers would miss two games so recently after a routine day off, and now we have some clarity on the situation. It's good news that the injury doesn't appear to be serious, and he was already able to pinch-hit in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies. He can be considered day-to-day as of now, but it is still a situation to monitor. Stowers has had a strong season through 58 appearances, boasting a .282 average (.836 OPS) with ten home runs, eight doubles, 33 RBI, and 24 runs scored.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers will not be in the team's lineup on Friday for the first game of their series with the Tampa Bay Rays. Teammate Eric Wagaman is occupying left field and batting sixth for the Marlins. Stowers wasn't in Miami's lineup on Tuesday when they squared off against left-handed pitcher Kyle Freeland. However, he was available off the bench to pinch-hit. The 27-year-old has hit lefties well this season, so it appeared to be a peculiar decision to bench him -- especially after he received a day off on Saturday. He may be working through a minor injury, though; nothing has been reported. Look for him to return to the starting nine over the weekend.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers provided almost all the offense at Wrigley Field on Wednesday night, going 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs and a triple to power the Marlins to a 3-1 victory in their series finale in Chicago. Stowers homered on Tuesday as well and now has 10 long balls on the season, four of which have come in his last five games. In his first full season with the Marlins, Stowers is hitting an even .300 through his first 40 games with a .271 ISO and .403 wOBA. He still has a very high strikeout rate, but his exit velocity remains elite. He has a 51.0% hard-hit rate and 22.9% barrel rate this season, and he brings solid power potential from the middle of the Marlins' order. His strikeout rate could catch up with him eventually, but he's definitely hot enough to be a great mixed-league option if you need some power. The Marlins are headed home to face the Rays and Cubs over the next six days after Thursday's scheduled off day.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers came up clutch for his team during Saturday's game against the Athletics. Stowers got his team on the board in the third inning with a two-run blast off Osvaldo Bido. He was quiet again until hitting a game-winning grand slam off right-hander Mason Miller in the ninth inning. He finished his day 2-for-5 with two homers and six RBI in the win. The 27-year-old is having an incredible stretch with seven hits, four home runs, and 10 RBI over his last three games. He'll likely be a popular waiver wire addition given his recent play.
