Kyle Stowers Stats

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Kyle Stowers was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk Monday. Manager Brandon Hyde said the 25-year-old was optioned so he could "get his confidence back a little bit." He is one of many interesting young O's players but is slashing just .067/.152/.067 in 33 plate appearances. Relief pitcher Logan Gillaspie was recalled in a corresponding move. Stowers is still a fantasy name in dynasty and keeper leagues, as he has hit a much better .293/.427/.569 during his time at Triple-A this season, but fantasy managers in re-draft leagues can ignore him for now.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Kyle Stowers is making the start in right field and is hitting ninth in the batting order on Tuesday against right-hander Zach Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays. Stowers is becoming a lineup regular against right-handed pitching, having started in the outfield in six straight starts for the O's against righties. The 25-year-old left-handed hitter has just two hits in 21 at-bats, though, with no home runs or RBI and seven strikeouts in his first 11 games for Baltimore. Stowers will have a very low DFS ceiling in the nine-hole, and he'll need to pick things up offensively if he wants to continue having a role against right-handers.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Kyle Stowers has been called up by the team and will hit fifth in his return from the minors on Friday. Stowers was first called up in mid-June, but only appeared in two games before being sent back down. The Orioles' ninth-ranked prospect has played exclusively at Triple-A this season, outside of his brief MLB stint, and has put up good numbers, slashing .264/.357/.527 with 19 homers. Strikeouts remain a problem for the 24-year-old, but he has managed to cut his strikeout rate back from 32.3% last year to 25.6% this year. According to manager Brandon Hyde, Stowers will see a lot of action, making him relevant in deeper leagues where outfield depth could be lacking.
