Stowers got the start at first base Sunday and went 0-for-4 in a loss to the Giants. It was the 28-year-old's first career action at first base, and his first 239 big-league games all came in the outfield or at DH. Stowers could get a longer look at the position as the Marlins search for a long-term answer, but Connor Norby appears to be manager Clayton McCullough's first choice for now. In six games since recovering from a hamstring strain and making his belated 2026 debut. Stowers is batting .273 (6-for-22) with three doubles, but he's still looking for his first homer and first RBI.

Kyle Stowers Player Profile
Career History
Kyle Stowers: Breaking News
Doubles twice in three-hit effort
Stowers went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in Friday's 9-4 win over the Giants. Stowers has gone 6-for-15 (.400) with three doubles and two walks over four games since he made his season debut after being shelved for nearly a month due to a hamstring strain. He's predictably settled into a starting job in left field and should be a near-everyday player as long as he's healthy. Stowers broke out with 25 homers and a .288/.368/.544 slash line over 117 contests in 2025, though his power swing has yet to fully show up this year.
Taking seat for day game
Stowers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. Stowers missed the first three weeks of the season due to a right hamstring strain before coming off the injured list Sunday and starting in each of the Marlins' subsequent three games while going 3-for-10 with a double, two walks and two runs. The 28-year-old hasn't suffered any reported setbacks since returning, so his absence Wednesday looks to be the result of him getting rest for a day game after a night game.
