Kyle Stowers Fantasy Stats

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Kyle Stowers (hamstring) is in the starting lineup on Saturday. The 28-year-old exited Thursday's game with hamstring tightness and missed Friday night's game to allow it to heal. A day later, he is back in the lineup and batting leadoff for the Marlins. He is slotted as the team's designated hitter and is looking to finish the season strong. Overall, he has hit 18 home runs this year, but two of those have come in the month of September. He is someone to get back into all fantasy baseball lineups.

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Kyle Stowers (hamstring) will take a seat for Friday's contest at home against the visiting Chicago Cubs, according to MLB.com. Deyvison De Los Santos will make the start at first base for the Fish and hit seventh against Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga. Stowers will take the day off after being pulled early in Thursday's contest due to tightness in his left hamstring. The left-handed slugger has been on the injured list already this year with hamstring issues, so the Marlins will play it safe and hold him out on Friday night. For now, fantasy managers should consider Stowers as day-to-day and check back on him on Saturday. The 28-year-old former second-rounder by the Baltimore Orioles in 2019 from Stanford was a first-time All-Star in 2025 in his first full year in South Beach, slashing .288/.368/.544 with a .912 OPS, 25 homers, 73 RBI, 61 runs, and five stolen bases. Stowers has not been quite as good in 2026, but he also has not been as healthy. He enters Friday's action with 18 homers, 59 RBI, and 48 runs scored to go with a .247/.333/.471 slash line in 104 games and 437 plate appearances.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (hamstring) left Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals early with tightness in his left hamstring, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. Before hitting the showers early, Stowers went 1-for-3 at the plate with a double and two strikeouts before he was replaced at first base by Deyvison De Los Santos. Stowers has already been on the injured list this year due to hamstring issues, and he could be headed back to the shelf, depending on what tests show on Friday. The 28-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder was a first-time All-Star in 2025 in his first full season in Miami, slashing .288/.368/.544 with a .912 OPS, a career-high 25 home runs, 73 RBI, 61 runs scored, and five stolen bases across 117 games. Through 103 games this year going into Thursday's action, he has posted a .247/.331/.470 slash line, .801 OPS, 18 homers, 59 RBI, 48 runs scored, and one steal in 433 plate appearances. Stowers played in just 15 games in August due to injury and did not have a home run, but he did go 15-for-51 (.294) in 59 plate appearances. If he is forced back to the IL with another hamstring injury, it could be a wrap on Stowers' 2026 campaign.

The Miami Marlins announced on Monday that they reinstated outfielder Kyle Stowers (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list and optioned infielder Deyvison De Los Santos to Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move. Stowers is starting at first base on Monday and will hit third in the batting order against Boston Red Sox left-hander Ranger Suarez. The left-handed power hitter returns to Miami after missing around two weeks due to a Grade 1 strained left hamstring. He could be a bit rusty at the plate upon his return after not going on a minor-league rehab assignment, and he is also facing a lefty on Monday. The 28-year-old former second-round pick by the Baltimore Orioles in 2019 from Stanford University will return to a .242/.327/.462 slash line with a .788 OPS, 16 homers, 52 RBI, 44 runs, and one stolen base in his 351 at-bats in 2026. Fantasy managers setting DFS lineups will want to avoid Stowers in his return, as he is hitting only .169 (13-for-77) with one of his 16 home runs and 27 strikeouts in 86 plate appearances versus lefties this year.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday, according to Isaac Azout of Fish on First. To make room for Stowers on the major-league roster, the Marlins are optioning Deyvison De Los Santos to the minors, according to a source. Even though Stowers did not go on a minor-league rehab assignment, he should be back in the team's starting nine for Monday's series opener at home against the visiting Boston Red Sox and left-hander Ranger Suarez. The 28-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder last played for the Fish on Aug. 9 when he strained his left hamstring. The former second-rounder by the Baltimore Orioles in 2019 out of Stanford University will be returning to a .242/.327/.462 slash line with a .788 OPS, 16 home runs, 52 RBI, 44 runs scored, and a stolen base in 351 at-bats in his second full season with the Marlins. Stowers has not lived up to his breakout campaign from a year ago, when he hit .288 (115-for-399) with 25 home runs, 73 RBI, 61 runs scored, and five steals in 117 games played.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (hamstring) has begun a running progression, per Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network. Stowers has not played since August 9 due to a hamstring strain. However, the fact that Stowers has already begun running could be an indication that he will not miss significant time due to the injury. Across 399 plate appearances on the year, the 28-year-old is hitting .242/.327/.462 with 16 home runs, 52 RBI, 44 runs scored, and one stolen base. The lefty-swinging Stowers has struck out in 31.3% of his plate appearances and owns a .530 OPS against same-handed pitching, both of which limit his fantasy value. Still, Stowers has logged an elite 55.0% hard-hit rate, which helps mitigate his swing-and-miss issues and hints at his high-end power upside. Once healthy, Stowers profiles as a useful power bat for fantasy managers.

The Miami Marlins announced on Tuesday that they placed first baseman/outfielder Kyle Stowers (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 10) with a strained left hamstring and recalled infielder Graham Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move. Stowers is on the shelf after tweaking his left hamstring in the team's series finale on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. It's the second time this year that Stowers has gone on the IL with a hamstring issue, although earlier this year he dealt with a right-hamstring strain. The 28-year-old left-handed slugger hasn't been nearly as good as he was in 2025 in what was a breakout season, when he slashed .288/.368/.544 with a .912 OPS, a career-high 25 home runs, 73 RBI, 61 runs scored, and five stolen bases in his 117 games. He heads to the IL on Tuesday with a .242/.327/.462 slash line in 2026 with a .788 OPS, 16 long balls, 52 RBI, 44 runs, and a stolen base in 94 games played across 399 plate appearances. Stowers is still a young power-hitting outfielder worth stashing in most fantasy leagues, and he could be ready to return when he's eligible in 10 days.

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Kyle Stowers (hamstring) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. According to Craig Mish, Stowers was pulled in the fifth inning due to left hamstring discomfort. He appeared to tweak his hamstring while running out a single in the fifth inning. Before leaving, Stowers went 2-for-4 with a single, triple, and two RBI. The assumption is that Stowers will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury. Leo Jimenez replaced him at first base and could see increased playing time if Stowers misses any action. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on his status.

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Kyle Stowers' bat is starting to heat up as the weather warms. In the Marlins' 12-5 win on the road in Sacramento against the Athletics on Friday night, he went 4-for-5 at the plate with two home runs, three RBI, and three runs scored to boost his season average to .243 and his OPS to .787. Both long balls were light-tower shots into the night at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park. After a slow start offensively following his breakout season in 2025, the 28-year-old left-handed hitter has come alive of late, going 20-for-58 (.345) with five home runs, five doubles, two triples, 15 RBI, and 12 runs scored in 15 games across 67 plate appearances. The strong stretch for the former Stanford product has boosted his overall line in 2026 to .243/.330/.457, and he's added 10 home runs, 37 RBI, 33 runs scored, and a stolen base in his 243 at-bats. Fantasy managers need to ride the wave with Stowers' power while he remains hot.

After a breakout 2025 season in which he hit .288 with 25 home runs across 457 plate appearances, Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers has largely struggled to repeat his performance in 2026. Across 227 plate appearances this year, the 28-year-old is hitting .223/.319/.418 with eight home runs, 28 RBI, 25 runs scored, and one stolen base. Stowers missed the first few weeks of the season after suffering a hamstring injury in Spring Training and then got off to a brutal start, hitting .221 with three home runs across 152 plate appearances through the end of May. However, the lefty slugger has begun to heat up in June. Across 75 plate appearances this Month, Stowers has slugged .541 and has already clubbed five home runs. While his 30% strikeout rate limits his batting average upside, Stowers owns a 14.3% barrel rate and 50.6% hard-hit rate for his career. With the injury now in his rearview mirror, Stowers is re-emerging as a high-end power asset on the waiver wire.
