Kyle Stowers Leaves Friday's Game With Hamstring Tightness
Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (hamstring) was pulled from Friday's Grapefruit League game early with right-hamstring tightness, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. Stowers missed one to two weeks earlier this spring with a strained hamstring, so it looks like he's suffered a setback with less than a week until Opening Day. The 28-year-old left-handed slugger injured his hamstring in late February and finally made his return to the outfield in spring training last weekend. It's unclear exactly how serious his injury is, but at this point, it would be a surprise if he doesn't start the 2026 season on the injured list. It puts a damper on Stowers' 2026 fantasy value after he broke out in 2025 to the tune of a .288/.368/.544 slash line with a .912 OPS, 25 home runs, 73 RBI, 61 runs, and five stolen bases in 117 games. He was Miami's lone All-Star representative and has a bright future ahead of him with intriguing batted-ball metrics. Stowers deserves to be stashed in all fantasy formats, but injury concerns aren't going away.
