Overview
- Miami activated All-Star outfielder Kyle Stowers from the 10-day injured list on Sunday to face the Brewers, and optioned infielder Deyvison De Los Santos to Triple-A.
- Stowers rehabbed a Grade 1 right hamstring strain with Triple-A Jacksonville, taking 19 plate appearances over five games and finishing with back-to-back nine-inning outings that cleared him to return.
- Manager Clayton McCullough said the rehab "checked out" and that Stowers felt ready physically and mentally after completing full games late in the week.
- In his season debut, Stowers hit cleanup and stayed in the game after an early scare, later delivering a double and a single to start building back his All-Star form.
- Coming off a 2025 breakout (.288, 25 HR, 73 RBI), Stowers’ bat and ability to cover the outfield or spot first base could lengthen Miami’s lineup and ease roster gaps as the club hovers near .500.
