"Kyle Stowers has been diagnosed with a grade 1 hamstring strain, an injury that comes with a timeline of between three and four weeks. Esteury Ruiz is also headed to the injured list, suffering from an oblique strain and likely to be shelved longer than Stowers."
"Stowers was the breakout star of the Marlins' 2025 campaign, hitting .288/.368/.544 with a 149 wRC+ in 117 games. His big-time power and 10.5% walk rate made him a middle-of-the-order threat."
"Ruiz, acquired from the Dodgers, is a career .241/.296/.343 hitter in the majors. His most notable tool is his speed, having turned in a 67-steal campaign for the A's."
Kyle Stowers will begin the season on the injured list with a grade 1 hamstring strain, expected to miss three to four weeks. Esteury Ruiz is also on the injured list with an oblique strain, likely sidelining him until at least May. Stowers's absence is significant as he was a standout player last season, hitting .288 with considerable power. Ruiz, acquired from the Dodgers, has a career batting average of .241 and is known for his speed, but his injury further depletes the Marlins' outfield depth.
