Overview
- The Marlins reinstated Stowers from the 10-day injured list for his season debut Sunday against the Brewers at loanDepot park, manager Clayton McCullough said.
- The All-Star had a Grade 1 right hamstring strain in spring training and cleared it with 19 plate appearances over five rehab games for Triple-A Jacksonville.
- His rehab included starts in left field, a turn at designated hitter, and a first-base appearance, which adds flexibility to how Miami can set its defense.
- McCullough said Stowers’ power and on-base skills will lengthen the order and praised him as a steady teammate who can anchor the middle of the lineup.
- To open a roster spot, Miami optioned infielder Deyvison De Los Santos to Triple-A.
