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.
Kyle Stowers Stays Hot With Three Hits, Three Runs
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.
Graham Pauley, Kyle Stowers Sitting Against A Lefty
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.
Kyle Stowers, Griffin Conine Competing For Left Field Job
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.
Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers is starting in left field and is batting third in his team debut on Wednesday against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Taj Bradley. The Marlins acquired Stowers on Tuesday as part of a package that sent left-hander Trevor Rogers to the Baltimore Orioles. The 26-year-old was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville and should now get an extended look in the big leagues in Miami after playing for Triple-A Norfolk for most of 2024 due to Baltimore's crowded outfield picture. He hit .306 (11-for-36) with a homer, four doubles and nine RBI in 19 games at the big-league level this year but has hit just .229/.274/.369 with four homers and 20 RBI in 67 games in the majors after debuting in 2022. At the very least, Stowers deserves attention in NL-only leagues given his new big-league opportunity.
The Miami Marlins acquired outfielder Kyle Stowers from the Baltimore Orioles for pitcher Trevor Rogers. Stowers, who was joined in the trade by second baseman-outfielder Connor Norby, hit .306/.297/.500 with a homer, nine RBI, and three runs scored in 19 games with the Orioles and hit .240/.322/.555 with 18 homers, 55 RBI, and 41 runs scored in 58 games with Triple-A Norfolk. He will see extended playing time with the Marlins and should be strongly considered in NL-only waiver wires while also drawing interest in dynasty league formats.
Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Kyle Stowers was 1-for-3 with a solo homer for Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday. The 26-year-old recorded his 17th home run of the season to go with 48 RBI. Stowers is hitting .236 with Norfolk. The left-handed hitter spent some time in the majors this season with Baltimore, hitting .286 with a homer and nine RBI in 35 at-bats. Stowers is part of a loaded Baltimore farm system and found it difficult to find a permanent spot with the Orioles. He could get another shot for some at-bats in Baltimore this year, but in the meantime, he will get regular plate appearances with Norfolk.
Kyle Stowers Produces Three Hits, Four RBI In Monday's Win
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Kyle Stowers was 3-for-4 with two doubles, four RBI and a run scored during Monday's 11-3 win over the Boston Red Sox. It was the first multi-hit effort of the season for Stowers, who was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk a few weeks ago. The 26-year-old has fared well across his first nine games of MLB action this season as he is now 6-for-16 (.375 BA) with five RBI. The small sample size is probably doing some heavy lifting here however, as Stowers was batting .207 across 48 games at the major league level coming into the season. There is a path to fantasy viability if he continues to get steady playing time, but he is probably best left on the waiver wire for the time being.
