Overview

  • The Marlins announced Stowers was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain after he left a recent game favoring the injury.
  • Stowers exited that game after grimacing while rounding first base and walking off the field, and the team later confirmed medical testing led to the IL move.
  • Miami recalled infielder Graham Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding roster move to cover first-base and outfield minutes.
  • Stowers has been a key bat this season, posting a .788 OPS with 16 home runs and 52 RBIs through 94 games, which makes his absence impactful for the lineup.
  • This left-hamstring issue follows a spring-training right hamstring strain that sidelined him earlier in the year, raising questions about his short-term availability and the club’s depth as it chases a wild-card spot.
