MIAMI — A big boost to the Miami Marlins’ lineup will come Sunday at loanDepot park in the series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers at 1:40 p.m. ET.
Manager Clayton McCullough told reporters prior to first pitch Saturday that outfielder Kyle Stowers will return and make his season debut.
Stowers, who strained his right hamstring in Spring Training, made five rehab appearances with Triple-A Jacksonville.
He was spotted in the clubhouse at loanDepot park on Saturday.
“He got back-to-back nine-inning games,” McCullough said. “I think he came out of that feeling like he’s in a really good spot physically. Also, I think mentally now he feels like, ‘OK, I’m kind of over this.’”
Stowers was Miami’s lone All-Star in 2025, finishing the season with a .288 average, 25 home runs (team best) and 73 RBIs.
He became the first Marlins outfielder to be named a National League All-Star since Giancarlo Stanton and Marcell Ozuna in 2017.
A strained left oblique sidelined Stowers for the final stretch of the season, when the Marlins finished 79–83.
“Getting Kyle back in the lineup will really be a nice boost to help lengthen some things out,” McCullough said.
The Marlins will look to snap a three-game losing streak Saturday with their ace Sandy Alcantara on the mound, with a 4:10 p.m. ET first pitch.
