It\u2019s been nearly a month since Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers<\/a> was sidelined<\/a> by side strain, and he actually began a rehab assignment on September 5 at the Triple-A level. Unfortunately, that September 5 game remains his most recent appearance after he was sidelined by a right oblique strain. According to Kevin Barral of Fish On First<\/a>, manager Clayton McCullough relayed to reporters yesterday that he isn\u2019t \u201cexactly sure\u201d\u00a0how long Stowers will be shut down for, and that a clear timetable might not be able until after Stowers has had a few more days of downtime.<\/p>\n

With so few days left in the regular season and the Marlins an insurmountable nine games back in the Wild Card race, there appears to be a real chance that Stowers\u2019s 2025 season has come to a close. McCullough acknowledged as much yesterday, telling reporters (including Barral) that \u201cwe know where we\u2019re at in the calendar.\u201d\u00a0If Stowers\u2019s first full season as a Marlin is in fact over, it\u2019s still hard to call it anything other than a massive success. The 27-year-old emerged as a core piece for Miami this year as he slashed .288\/.368\/.544 with 25 homers, 21 doubles, and 3 triples across 117 games. It was enough to earn Stowers an All-Star nod, and he\u2019s sure to be a fixture of the club\u2019s outfield mix next year as well.<\/p>\n

Turning away from Stowers, the Marlins provided plenty of updates (as relayed by MLB.com<\/a>) about other injured hitters today. Infielder Graham Pauley<\/a> began a rehab assignment at Triple-A today as he recovers from an oblique strain suffered last month. Tomorrow, meanwhile, will see both infielder Connor Norby<\/a> and outfielder Dane Myers<\/a> begin rehab assignments. Norby was sidelined by a quad strain just a few days ago, while Myers has been out of commission since late August due to an oblique strain of his own.<\/p>\n

Of that trio, Pauley is having the best season at the plate. That\u2019s not saying very much, as the left-handed utility man is slashing .229\/.310\/.371 in 159 plate appearances across 54 games for the big league Marlins this year. Norby, meanwhile, has posted only slightly weaker numbers in more of a regular role. He\u2019s slashed .247\/.298\/.373 in 295 trips to the plate this year while battling injuries, including a hamate fracture that required surgery back in July. He had looked a lot better after returning from that surgery, but his burgeoning hot streak was cut short at just five games by his aforementioned quad ailment. As for Myers, the 29-year-old has hit just .233\/.292\/.325 in 99 games this year, but he has swiped 17 bases and played strong defense in center field.<\/p>\n

Assuming none of them face setbacks like Stowers has, all three should be expected to return before the end of the year. Maximo Acosta<\/a>, Xavier Edwards<\/a>, and Javier Sanoja<\/a> have mixed and matched at second and third base while Pauley and Norby have been out, with Otto Lopez<\/a> at shortstop. That quartet will likely be forced to get the majority of their playing time up the middle as Pauley and Norby seem poised to reclaim their timeshare at the hot corner. Myers, meanwhile, has been overtaken on the depth chart by Jakob Marsee<\/a> in center field but could still see some use off the bench or in the outfield corners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been nearly a month since Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers was sidelined by side strain, and he actually…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":135475,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,73690,47358,73691,467,462,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-135474","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-connor-norby","11":"tag-dane-myers","12":"tag-graham-pauley","13":"tag-kyle-stowers","14":"tag-mlb","15":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135474"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135474\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
