Stowers isn't in Miami's lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto.
Stowers will take a seat for the Marlins' penultimate game after going 0-for-13 with seven strikeouts over his last five contests. His absence will open a spot in center field for Dane Myers to start while batting seventh.

Rotowire
Stowers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Goes deep in win
Rotowire
Stowers went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk in Sunday's win over the Giants.
Stowers put the Marlins ahead with his three-run shot off Logan Webb in the fifth inning. It was Stowers' third homer of the year and second in the last six games. He's produced a lackluster .599 OPS in 29 games since joining the Marlins but owns a .393/.433/.750 slash line over his last eight contests. For the year, Stowers owns a .655 OPS with 10 extra-base hits and 20 RBI over 137 plate appearances between Baltimore and Miami.

Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Homer, triple in win
Rotowire
Stowers went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a triple and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Rockies.
This was Stowers' second multi-hit effort in a row, while the long ball was his first as a Marlin. He's had some trouble adjusting to his new team, batting just .173 (13-for-75) with 30 strikeouts over 24 contests since he was traded from the Orioles. For the year, he has a .216/.267/.333 slash line with two homers, 13 RBI, nine runs scored and no stolen bases over 120 plate appearances.

Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Hitting bench against lefty
Rotowire
Stowers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Stowers will hit the bench along with fellow lefty-hitting outfielder Nick Gordon as Atlanta sends All-Star southpaw Max Fried to the hill. Now that he's up in the big leagues with Miami, Stowers should at least retain a regular spot in the Miami outfield against right-handed pitching. Through his first four games with the Marlins following his acquisition from the Orioles at the trade deadline, Stowers went 1-for-15 with nine strikeouts.

Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Lands in Miami in Rogers trade
Rotowire
The Marlins acquired Stowers and infielder Connor Norby from the Orioles on Tuesday in exchange for left-hander Trevor Rogers, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Stowers' path to playing time was blocked in Baltimore but he should have a clear runway to an everyday role in Miami's corner outfielder. He had been most recently playing at Triple-A Norfolk but is a good bet to be added to the Marlins' 26-man active roster in the near future. The 26-year-old has turned in a .797 OPS in 19 games in the majors in 2024 and has produced an .870 OPS during his time at the Triple-A level.

Orioles' Kyle Stowers: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
Stowers was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Stowers will head back to Triple-A after being called up July 13. With Heston Kjerstad (concussion) returning from the 7-day injured list Saturday, Stowers was the odd man out, but he'll likely earn another shot with the big-league club down the road.

Orioles' Kyle Stowers: Sent back to Norfolk
Rotowire
The Orioles optioned Stowers to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
Stowers posted a respectable .763 OPS over his five-week stay with the Orioles, but the club simply didn't have regular playing time available for him. He had started in just one of Baltimore's last nine games, so Baltimore will send him back to Norfolk so that he can see steadier at-bats. Utility man Nick Maton was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Orioles' Kyle Stowers: Blasts first homer
Rotowire
Stowers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday against Atlanta.
Stowers' first homer of the season came in the seventh off Atlanta reliever Pierce Johnson and pulled the Orioles to within a run. However, those were the only three runs the O's would score. The blast was the first in the big leagues since 2022 for Stowers, who has collected a homer and four doubles among 10 hits in 34 at-bats this season.

Orioles' Kyle Stowers: Drawing start Thursday
Rotowire
Stowers (wrist) will serve as the Orioles' designated hitter and No. 8 batter in Thursday's game against Atlanta.
Stowers is back in the lineup for the first time since Saturday's 5-0 win over the Rays, though he acknowledged prior to Wednesday's 4-2 win over Atlanta that he's made a full recovery from a sore right wrist. The 26-year-old has produced a respectable .723 OPS over 31 plate appearances with the big club this season, but he still may be in line for just one or two starts per week while the Orioles have all of their key outfielders available.

Orioles' Kyle Stowers: Available off bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Stowers (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta but is available off the bench, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Stowers hasn't played since Saturday's 5-0 win over the Rays due to a sore right wrist, but he noted that he's feeling good and will be ready to make a pinch-hitting appearance or enter Wednesday's contest as a defensive replacement, if needed. The 26-year-old isn't a regular in the Baltimore lineup, so he could still be a few days away from making his next start, even though he's ostensibly healthy.

Orioles' Kyle Stowers: Set to be recalled
Rotowire
The Orioles will recall Stowers from Triple-A Norfolk prior to Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.
Baltimore has yet to make the move official, but the club could option Heston Kjerstad to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Like Kjerstad before him, Stowers isn't likely to get steady playing time, either, given the Orioles' crowded outfield situation, but getting him regular reps is probably less of a priority than it would be with Kjerstad. Stowers had posted a .315 on-base percentage and 11 home runs across 165 plate appearances with Norfolk this season.

Orioles' Kyle Stowers: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Orioles optioned Stowers to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Stowers is tied for the Grapefruit League lead with seven home runs this spring, but ultimately it still wasn't enough to force his way onto the Orioles' crowded roster. The 26-year-old will be given regular playing time at Norfolk while awaiting another shot in the majors.

Orioles' Kyle Stowers: Solid showing early in camp
Rotowire
Stowers has been hitting lefties well during live batting practice sessions in camp, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Stowers is 1-for-5 in Grapefruit League play as well, with his lone hit a solo home run off Atlanta lefty Dylan Lee. Kubatko notes the Orioles' competition for outfield spots will be a challenging one -- Austin Hays, Cedric Mullins and Anthony Santander are virtual locks for starting roles. Stowers is among a group of four or five players competing for two spots at most on the Opening Day roster, so he'll need to continue to put together good at-bats, against all pitchers, to open the campaign in Baltimore.

Orioles' Kyle Stowers: Activated off minor-league IL
Rotowire
Stowers (nose) was activated from the injured list Friday at Triple-A Norfolk, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.
Stowers only wound up missing a couple of weeks because of a fractured nose. The 25-year-old outfielder has struggled in limited action this season at the major-league level but carries a .942 OPS with 18 homers and 51 RBI in 67 minor-league games.

Orioles' Kyle Stowers: Active at Triple-A
Rotowire
Stowers (shoulder) was activated from the injured list at Triple-A Norfolk and went 0-for-3 with two walks and one strikeout Friday against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Stowers hit .560 with four home runs in seven rehab games, split between the Florida Complex League and High-A Aberdeen. The 25-year-old outfielder hit .067 with a 36.4 percent strikeout rate in 33 plate appearances for the big club earlier this year. He may have missed his chance to carve out a role, as the big-league outfield is pretty crowded following the recent promotion of top prospect Colton Cowser.

Orioles' Kyle Stowers: Riding pine Saturday
Rotowire
Stowers is not in Saturday's lineup against the Pirates.
Despite a righty (Roansy Contreras) being on the hill for Pittsburgh, Stowers will head to the bench while Ryan O'Hearn picks up a start at designated hitter. Stowers is 2-for-22 (.091 AVG) with zero home runs in 10 games since getting recalled from Triple-A on April 30.
