The Marlins reinstated Stowers (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll start at first base and bat third in the series opener versus the Red Sox.
Miami optioned infielder Deyvison De Los Santos to Triple-A Jacksonville to clear room on the active roster for Stowers, who missed approximately two weeks due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain. Stowers didn't require a rehab assignment prior to being activated, but the Marlins could look to build in and off day or two for him in first week back with the big club following the injury. The 28-year-old hit .242 with 16 home runs, one stolen base, 52 RBI and 44 runs in 94 games with Miami prior to landing on the shelf.
