MIAMI — The Marlins<\/a> plan to activate Kyle Stowers<\/a> off the injured list Sunday, clearing the way for the All-Star outfielder to make his season debut after being sidelined with a hamstring strain.<\/p>\n

“Everything from the rehab checked out,” manager Clayton McCullough said. “He continued to check the necessary boxes. I think certainly there was a physical component with how he felt, how the hamstring was.”<\/p>\n

Stowers, who strained his right hamstring in spring training, made five rehab appearances with Triple-A Jacksonville, including outings on Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n

“He got back-to-back, nine-inning games,” McCullough said. “I think he came out of that feeling like he’s in a really good spot physically. Also, I think mentally now he feels like, ‘OK, I’m kind of over this.'”<\/p>\n

Stowers is coming off a career-best year in 2025 when he recorded 115 hits, 25 home runs and 73 RBIs in 117 games, earning his first career All-Star nod before a left oblique strain sidelined him for the final stretch of the season.<\/p>\n

Before breaking out last season, Stowers was shuffling back and forth between Triple-A Norfolk and Baltimore<\/a>, which drafted him in the second round of the 2019 amateur draft.<\/p>\n

The Orioles eventually dealt him to Miami, where he batted .186 in his first 50 games.<\/p>\n

However, last season, Stowers led Miami in home runs and RBIs while becoming the first Marlins outfielder to be named a National League All-Star since Marcell Ozuna<\/a> and Giancarlo Stanton<\/a> in 2017.<\/p>\n

Entering Saturday’s games, the Marlins (9-11) are second in the NL East behind Atlanta Braves<\/a> (13-7), looking to build on the momentum from last year’s surprising 79-83 season. They’re sixth in the league in total hits (171), 11th in runs (93) and 10th in RBIs (90).<\/p>\n

“Getting Kyle back in the lineup will really be a nice boost to help lengthen some things out,” McCullough said. “… He’s been knocked down a lot, but he keeps getting up.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MIAMI — The Marlins plan to activate Kyle Stowers off the injured list Sunday, clearing the way for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11736,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-615742","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=615742"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615742\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=615742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=615742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=615742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
