Overview
- Miami will reinstate the All-Star on Sunday for his first game of 2026 against the Brewers at loanDepot park, the team said Saturday.
- He missed the start of the season with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain and began a five-game rehab at Triple-A Jacksonville on April 10.
- To clear the final hurdle, he played nine innings on back-to-back days Thursday and Friday to show he could handle a full workload.
- Manager Clayton McCullough said the rehab checked out and that Stowers feels physically and mentally ready to return.
- The 28-year-old broke out in 2025 with 25 home runs and 73 RBIs before a left oblique strain ended his year, and he is expected to slot into the middle of Miami’s order as the club works through a 9–11 start.
