Kyle Stowers Back: Can He Revive Miami Marlins' Season?
20 Apr
Summary
- Marlins' early 8-5 start has declined to a 10-12 record.
- Outfielder Kyle Stowers, a 2025 All-Star, has returned to the lineup.
- Stowers doubled and singled in his first game back, seeking his first RBI.
The Miami Marlins' promising 8-5 start to the 2026 campaign has recently faltered, resulting in a 10-12 record. This downturn followed series losses to the Detroit Tigers and Atlanta Braves, and the first two games against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Marlins managed to salvage the final game of their series with Milwaukee on Saturday, winning 5-3.
A significant boost for Miami's lineup is the return of outfielder Kyle Stowers, a 2025 All-Star. Stowers, who experienced a career resurgence in Miami last season after a trade from the Baltimore Orioles, brings much-needed power from the left side of the plate. In his first game of the season, he doubled and singled, aiming to drive in runs against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Despite the Cardinals' current winning streak and a better overall record, the Marlins are projected to have higher upside. Miami ranks eighth in MLB in hits, a statistic Stowers aims to enhance. His career numbers against the Cardinals are strong, hitting .300 with extra-base hits. The team now looks to capitalize on his return at loanDepot Park.
