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.
The Baltimore Orioles plan to call up outfielder Kyle Stowers from Triple-A Norfolk, according to Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic. This will be Stowers's third time up in the majors with the first two coming in 2022 and 2023. Both times, though, the outfielder struggled mightily at the plate. He is hitting just .207 with three home runs, four doubles, and 11 RBI over 48 major league games in his career so far. As a result, he isn't an add in most formats. However, keep an eye on his playing time over the next few games because he showed some power potential in 36 Triple-A games this season, hitting 11 HRs with 11 doubles and 32 RBI.
Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Kyle Stowers has been reassigned to minor-league camp alongside fellow prospects Jackson Holliday and Heston Kjerstad. The move comes after Stowers enjoyed a massive big-league camp in Grapefruit League action as the 26-year-old clubbed seven spring homers while driving in 14 runs alongside a 1.011 OPS across 45 trips to the plate. While he struggled in a small 33-plate-appearance sample with the Orioles in the 2023 season, he hit .245 with 17 home runs alongside a 14.1% BB% in 68 games with Triple-A Norfolk a season ago, good for an .875 OPS. Stowers is locked into a jam-packed battle for reps in the Orioles' outfield but a strong spring could leave him as the first option when an outfield injury occurs.
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Kyle Stowers went 3-for-3 with three homers, three runs scored and four RBI in Sunday's tie against the Detroit Tigers. Stowers homered in each of his plate appearances as he continues to make a case for himself to make the big league roster. Given the logjam in the Orioles outfield, it seems unlikely that he would grab a starting role. There is the possibility that he makes the team as a bench bat, but the Orioles may opt to give him some extra time in the minors where he will see more pitches.
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.
