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.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers put together an incredible game at the plate during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Stowers kicked off the scoring for his team with a two-run home run off right-hander Tony Gonsolin in the fourth inning. He would later blast another long ball off Yoendrys Gomez in the ninth inning. Stowers finished his day 4-for-4 with two homers, a double, and four RBI in the loss to the Dodgers. Now, Stowers is slashing .323/.396/.510 with four homers, 19 RBI, and two steals this season. He has been hot at the plate lately and is worthy of adding in deep leagues and NL-only formats at the minimum.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers is not in the starting nine on Monday evening when the Marlins face Cincinnati left-handed pitcher Nick Lodolo. Stowers has only made five starts against left-handed pitching this season. When facing lefties, Stowers has been productive, holding a .500 AVG, but will be held out of the lineup. Through the early part of the campaign, Stowers has held a strong .298/.381/.401 slash line with three doubles and one home run. Under the hood, he has generated an elite 17.0 percent rate with a 51.5 percent hard-hit rate, which are both above the average marks. Instead, Jesus Sanchez will get the nod in right field, which opens up the DH spot for Ronny Simon. Fantasy managers should expect Stowers to return to the starting nine on Tuesday when they face right-hander Nick Martinez. The Marlins are best to fade in DFS this evening, facing Lodolo, who enters this game with a solid 2.31 ERA.

Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers saw the ball well this weekend. In Miami's three-game series against Washington, Stowers went 7-for-13 with four runs scored and six RBI. Three of those runs came in Sunday's 11-4 win over the Nationals. Stowers also had three hits and two RBI in the game. Stowers is off to a surprisingly good start in 2025. Through 14 games played, he is hitting .314 with one home run, 10 RBI, eight runs, and a stolen base. Stowers is a recent adopter of the torpedo bat, making the change during last week's series in Atlanta. Stowers has recorded a hit in all but one game since. After a day off on Monday, the Marlins will host the Diamondbacks for three games.

With Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Andrew Heaney starting the series finale on Sunday at loanDepot Park against the hosting Miami Marlins, both third baseman Graham Pauley and outfielder Kyle Stowers will start on the bench. Jonah Bride will make the start at third base and will hit fifth, while Javier Sanoja is starting in left field and batting in the nine-hole for the Fish. Neither Bride nor Sanoja have ever faced Heaney. The 24-year-old Pauley and the 27-year-old Stowers will be regulars in Miami's starting lineup when the team faces right-handed pitchers, but they will often be rested against southpaws. Pauley has started the year 2-for-6 with a double and an RBI in the first two games of the year, while Stowers has gone 4-for-12 with two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in 14 trips to the plate over three games played.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers has made the team's Opening Day roster, reports Isaac Azout. Whether he has won the starting left-field job is yet to be known, but he should at least see some playing time as part of a platoon. He hasn't exactly shown out during Spring Training, batting just .162 with a 34.7% strikeout rate. After being traded to the Marlins at the trade deadline in 2024, he slashed .186/.282/.295 with two home runs in 50 games. He did show some positive signs in 2024, like a 51.3% hard-hit rate, but he clearly has some work to do before he becomes a relevant player for fantasy.

According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers and Griffin Conine will compete for the left-field job during spring training. Jackson noted that the team is hopeful Stowers can "recapture some of the promise he showed with the Orioles." Before being traded to Miami, the outfielder held a strong .306 AVG. However, once he joined the Marlins, Stowers saw his AVG drop to .186 and held a poor .262 OBP. He also hit just two home runs across 50 games. Despite the drop in production, Stowers still generated a 51.3 percent hard-hit rate, which is a positive sign. Conine made his MLB debut last season and had a .268/.326/.451 line across 30 contests. He tallied four doubles and three home runs with 12 RBI. Both outfielders will only have value in deeper formats as they have yet to have much extended success at the MLB level.

Miami Marlins outfielders Jesus Sanchez and Kyle Stowers are both out of Saturday's lineup as the Marlins continue a three-game set against the Chicago Cubs. Both Sanchez and Stowers will get the day off because the Cubs are sending out southpaw Shota Imanaga. As a result, Derek Hill will cover left field, David Hensley will cover right, and Cristian Pache will start in center. Hill has posted a solid .258 AVG in his past eight games while Hensley holds a .308 AVG in his past five. Fantasy managers should expect Sanchez and Stowers to return to the starting nine on Sunday afternoon as the Cubs are scheduled to send right-hander Javier Assad to the bump. Both Hill and Hensley should be faded in DFS this afternoon, as Imanaga allowed just one run in his last start.
