Jun 29 2025Stowers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers and fellow left-handed-hitting outfielder Jesus Sanchez will head to the bench Sunday while southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez toes the rubber for Arizona. Heriberto Hernandez will get the nod in left field in place of Stowers, who slashed .321/.472/.786 with three home runs, six RBI and eight runs while starting each of the last eight games.
Jun 27 2025Stowers went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Friday's 9-8 win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers' power is back, as he's gone yard three times over the last five games to follow up a 31-game homer drought. He's gone 7-for-19 (.368) with six extra-base hits and six RBI in that five-game sample. He's looked good in his first full major-league season, posting a .277/.352/.496 slash line with 13 homers, 40 RBI, 36 runs scored and three stolen bases over 76 games.
Jun 26 2025Stowers went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and two walks in Thursday's 12-5 win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers provided the Marlins with a good start, delivering a first-inning homer to open the scoring. The outfielder has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 6-for-20 (.300) with two homers, three doubles and four RBI in that span. Overall, Stowers is at a .275/.351/.482 slash line with 12 long balls, 38 RBI, 35 runs scored and three stolen bases over 75 games this season.
Jun 23 2025Stowers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old took Bryce Elder deep in the second inning to get the Marlins on the board. It was Stowers' 11th long ball of the season but his first since May 14, snapping a 31-game drought in which he's slashed a meager .228/.291/.297 with only five RBI. Stowers is showing signs of coming out of the slump even apart from the home run, however -- over his last 10 contests, he's gone 7-for-27 (.259) with three extra-base hits and a 5:6 BB:K.
Jun 18 2025Stowers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After being included in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with southpaw Jesus Luzardo, the left-handed-hitting Stowers will head to the bench Wednesday as the Marlins face off against a second straight lefty (Ranger Suarez). Javier Sanoja will get the starting nod in left field in place of Stowers.
Jun 15 2025Stowers is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers has made 10 starts against left-handed pitching this season and has an .834 OPS versus southpaws, but he'll take a seat Sunday with MacKenzie Gore on the mound for Washington. Heriberto Hernandez will start in left field and bat fifth in the series finale.
Jun 14 2025Stowers went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old outfielder has been dealing with a sore hand since last week, but Stowers looked a little more comfortable at the plate Friday after going 1-for-11 with six strikeouts over his prior four contests. If he can stay healthy, Stowers appears headed for a breakout campaign in 2025, and through 248 plate appearances he's slashing .276/.344/.466 with 10 homers and 33 RBI.
Jun 11 2025Stowers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-handed-hitting Stowers played the last two games after missing some time with a hand injury, but he'll grab a seat Wednesday as the Pirates send southpaw Bailey Falter to the bump. Javier Sanoja will cover left field and bat ninth for the Marlins.
Jun 9 2025Stowers (hand) went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 10-3 loss to the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers was cleared to return to the starting lineup after missing four straight games due to hand soreness. He came through with a base knock in the top of the eighth inning and later scored on an RBI double by Connor Norby. The club will presumably keep a close eye on Stowers' hand heading into the second matchup of the series Tuesday.
Jun 8 2025Stowers (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers will miss a fourth consecutive start while he continues to deal with a sore hand. Though he went unused in Saturday's extra-inning win, Stowers was reportedly available off the bench, so he appears likely to avoid a stint on the injured list. Javier Sanoja will get the nod in left field Sunday.
Jun 7 2025Stowers (hand) isn't in the Marlins' starting lineup again Saturday, though he's available to enter off the bench, Brian Murphy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers will begin on the bench for a third straight contest Saturday as he contends with hand soreness. However, the outfielder entered as a pinch hitter Wednesday and is available to do so again Saturday, so the issue doesn't seem to be a serious concern. Jesus Sanchez is starting in left field Saturday while Eric Wagaman is getting a turn in right.
Jun 6 2025Stowers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays due to lingering hand soreness, Nate Karzmer of FishOnFirst reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Friday that Stowers will be available to pinch-hit, but he's currently dealing with hand soreness. Stowers is out of the lineup for a second straight game Friday, but the hand issue appears to be a short-term problem.
Jun 4 2025Stowers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Stowers will get the afternoon off while the Rockies send southpaw Kyle Freeland to the bump in the series finale. Javier Sanoja will pick up the start in center field in place of Stowers.
May 23 2025Stowers went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers extended his hitting streak to 10 games, a span in which he has gone 16-for-37 (.432) with seven extra-base hits. The outfielder's steal was his first in over a month -- his last was April 22 versus the Reds. Stowers has been a revelation for the Marlins this season, slashing .319/.392/.566 with 10 home runs, 31 RBI, 23 runs scored, seven doubles, two triples and three steals across 47 games. He's been the best part of an otherwise mostly lackluster lineup.
May 14 2025Stowers went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a triple during Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers tagged Cubs starter Jameson Taillon for a pair of solo homers, one in the second inning and one in the fourth, bringing the Marlins back into the win column by snapping a three-game losing streak. It was the 27-year-old's third multi-homer game in his last 13 appearances. He's 15-for-48 (.313) with eight home runs and 14 RBI during that stretch.
May 3 2025Stowers went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a walk-off grand slam during Saturday's 9-6 win against the A's. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was an impressive show of power for the outfielder, who launched a two-run homer during the third inning before delivering a walk-off grand slam with two outs in the ninth, which came on a 102-mph fastball from A's closer Mason Miller. It's the second two-homer performance in the past three games for Stowers, who is up to six long balls for the season. The 27-year-old also has a .324/.392/.552 slash line with 25 RBI, 17 runs and two steals through 30 games this year.
Apr 30 2025Stowers went 4-for-4 with two home runs, a double and four total RBI in Wednesday's 12-7 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers was one of the few Marlins with any answers for Tony Gonsolin on Wednesday -- he launched a two-run, 423-foot blast off the right-hander in the fourth inning before adding an RBI double in the sixth. Stowers would cap a perfect day at the plate with a second homer off Yoendrys Gomez in the ninth. The 27-year-old Stowers has been a bright spot for Miami this year, slashing .323/.396/.510 with four homers, 19 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases through 111 plate appearances. He's logged at least one hit in nine of his last 12 games, going 15-for-39 (.385) in that span.
Apr 21 2025Stowers is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With left-hander Nick Lodolo on the mound for the Reds, lefty-swinging Stowers will take a seat Monday. The Marlins will go with Javier Sanoja, Dane Myers and Jesus Sanchez from left to right in the outfield, and Ronny Simon will serve as the designated hitter.
Apr 13 2025Stowers went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI in Sunday's 11-4 win over Washington. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers stayed hot Sunday, smacking a two-run double in the eighth inning to put the Marlins up by seven. Stowers ended the series against Washington having gone 7-for-13 with three runs scored, three doubles and six RBI.
Apr 12 2025Stowers went 2-for-3 with one run scored and two RBI in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers drove in his first run on a sacrifice fly in the third inning, and he knocked in what ended up being the game-winning run in the sixth with a double to center field that brought home Xavier Edwards. Stowers has gone 4-for-8 with two doubles, one triple and four RBI in the first two games of the series.
Apr 2 2025Stowers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old outfielder took Kodai Senga deep in the first inning, giving Stowers his first long ball of the season. After a shaky spring at the plate, Stowers has had a productive first week of the regular season, batting .313 (5-for-16) with four RBI and a steal while starting four of Miami's first six games.
Mar 31 2025Stowers is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers started the first three games of the season, including one against a lefty, but he's now been out of the lineup for two straight days versus southpaws. Javier Sanoja will handle left field for Miami.
Mar 30 2025Stowers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers will take a seat for the first time this season, joining fellow left-handed hitters Graham Pauley and Matt Mervis on the bench while the Pirates send southpaw Andrew Heaney to the bump. While starting Miami's first three games of the season, Stowers went 4-for-12 with two walks, two RBI, one run and one stolen base.
Mar 27 2025Stowers went 1-for-3 with two walks, two strikeouts and the game-winning RBI single during Thursday's 5-4 win over Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers got off to a rough start on Opening Day with two strikeouts, but he was able to settle in draw two walks on his next two plate appearances. With runners on second and third with no outs in the bottom of the ninth, Stowers smacked a 96 mph fastball off David Bednar into right field, which brought Javier Sanoja home for the winning run. Stowers beat out Griffin Conine for the starting job in left field during spring training, and the former has gotten off to a solid start to his 2025 campaign.
Mar 24 2025Stowers has been informed that he's made Miami's Opening Day roster, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers has been in a battle with Griffin Conine for the starting job in left field during spring training, and while the team has yet to officially announce the starter, Stowers now knows he'll at least make the big-league team out of camp. The club could provide an additional update on the status of the job in left field at some point over the next few days.
Mar 12 2025Stowers appears to be in a dead heat with Griffin Conine for the Marlins' starting job in left field, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers came into camp as the favorite for the job after being acquired from the Orioles last season, but he has just three singles in 17 at-bats this spring with nine strikeouts. The 27-year-old has drawn seven walks and stolen a couple bases as well, but contact issues were a big factor in his poor .186/.262/.295 slash line for Miami in 2024. He has a minor-league option remaining, so it's possible the Marlins will decide Stowers needs to build up his confidence at Triple-A Jacksonville before taking another crack at solving big-league pitching.
Sep 28 2024Stowers isn't in Miami's lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 25 2024Stowers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers will take a seat after he started both of the past two games, going 0-for-8 with five strikeouts. He'll cede his spot in the outfield to Derek Hill.
Sep 21 2024Stowers is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw Max Fried drawing the start for Atlanta, Stowers will retreat to the bench Saturday. Cristian Pache will replace Stowers in center field. Stowers is riding a five-game hit streak, going 7-for-15 with three doubles and a triple during that stretch.
Sep 15 2024Stowers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Marlins are facing a fifth consecutive left-handed starter (MacKenzie Gore) on Sunday, and the lefty-hitting Stowers has now hit the bench for two of those contests. Cristian Pache will enter the lineup in Stowers' stead, manning center field while batting eighth.
Sep 13 2024Stowers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Stowers will avoid a matchup with southpaw DJ Herz on Friday. Instead, the Marlins will turn to Cristian Pache in center field.
Sep 8 2024Stowers is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers started the previous seven games and will receive a break after going 2-for-27 with 12 strikeouts during that stretch. Javier Sanoja will start in center field for the series finale versus Philadelphia.
Sep 2 2024Stowers went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk in Sunday's win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 30 2024Stowers isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Friday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Stowers will take a seat to begin Friday's contest as the lefty-throwing Blake Snell starts on the mound. With Stowers out, Derek Hill, Cristian Pache and David Hensley will serve as Miami's outfield trio.
Aug 29 2024Stowers went 3-for-6 with a double, four RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 12-8 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers now has three multi-hit efforts in his last five games -- he's gone 9-for-20 (.450) with four extra-base hits and six RBI in that span as he's settled into a starting role with the Marlins. Overall, Stowers is slashing .235/.281/.353 with two homers, 17 RBI and 10 runs scored across 120 plate appearances between Miami and Baltimore.
Aug 28 2024Stowers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers started the previous three games and will sit Wednesday after going 5-for-12 with a double, a triple and a home run during that stretch. Derek Hill will shift to left field while Cristian Pache starts in center against Colorado lefty Kyle Freeland.
Aug 27 2024Stowers 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 24 2024Stowers is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Southpaw Shota Imanaga is taking the mound for the Cubs on Saturday, and the lefty-hitting Stowers will retreat to the dugout as a result. For the month of August, Stowers is slashing .136/.227/.136 with three runs scored, two RBI and a 33.3 percent strikeout rate across 66 plate appearances. Derek Hill will start in left field and bat fifth.
Aug 21 2024Stowers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers started against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez in Tuesday's 3-1 loss, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday while the Diamondbacks send a second straight southpaw (Jordan Montgomery) to the bump. Derek Hill will fill in in left field for Stowers, who has struggled to a .133/.200/.133 line through his first 18 games with the Marlins following his acquisition from the Orioles at the trade deadline.
Aug 7 2024Stowers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Southpaw Andrew Abbott is on the hill for Cincinnati, so the left-handed-hitting Stowers will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Stowers has had a rough start to his Marlins career, going 2-for-23 with a 0:12 BB:K. Derek Hill will occupy left field Wednesday.
Aug 4 2024Stowers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 1 2024Stowers went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Wednesday's win over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his first start for the Marlins after being acquired from the Orioles in the Trevor Rogers trade, Stowers was dropped into the third spot in the batting order and may have felt the pressure of debuting with his new team. The 26-year-old was slashing .240/.322/.555 for Triple-A Norfolk in 58 games this season with 18 homers prior to the trade, and Miami will give him every chance to display that power in the majors.
Jul 31 2024The Marlins recalled Stowers from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday. He'll start in left field and bat third in the Marlins' series finale against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers had been playing with the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate in Norfolk before the Marlins acquired him Tuesday in the deal that sent southpaw Trevor Rogers to Baltimore. Though he wasn't able to join the Marlins in time for Tuesday's game, Stowers will join Miami's active roster ahead of Wednesday's contest and should settle into a near-everyday role in the Marlins outfield. Stowers has a .797 OPS with one home run in 19 games at the major-league level in 2024 and an .877 OPS with 18 long balls in 58 contests at Triple-A.
Jul 30 2024The 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 20 2024Stowers was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 13 2024The Orioles recalled Stowers from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Heston Kjerstad (concussion) headed for the injured list, the Orioles will call upon Stowers to provide additional depth to their outfield unit. The 26-year-old has fared well in the majors this season, going 10-for-35 with nine RBI in 17 games, and he boasts an .861 OPS through 242 plate appearances with the Tides. However, Austin Hays and Colton Cowser will likely receive the bulk of reps in left field while Kjerstad is sidelined.
Jun 19 2024The Orioles optioned Stowers to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 13 2024Stowers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers' first homer of the season came in the seventh off Atlanta reliever Pierce Johnson and pulled the Orioles to within one. However, those were the only three runs the O's would score. The blast was the first since 2022 for Stowers, who has collected a homer and four doubles among 10 hits in 34 at-bats this season.
Jun 12 2024Stowers (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta but is available off the bench, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 10 2024Stowers (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest in Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers exited Saturday's game against the Rays with right wrist discomfort and hasn't played since. He's been receiving treatment and the hope is that he's available off the bench Monday. Colton Cowser, Cedric Mullins and Anthony Santander will patrol the outfield for Baltimore on Monday.
Jun 8 2024Stowers was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays with right wrist discomfort, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers was taken out of the contest in the sixth inning with soreness in his right wrist, and Colton Cowser took Stowers' place in left field. Per Jake Rill of MLB.com, Stowers' injury stems from a dive he made during the series against the Blue Jays earlier this week and is considered minor.
May 27 2024Stowers went 3-for-4 with two doubles, four RBI and a run scored in Monday's 11-3 win against Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers had mustered just one RBI and one run scored across 17 plate appearances since his promotion May 13, but the 26-year-old made the most of his opportunity Monday, slugging two extra-base hits and plating four runners in a career-best performance. Stowers has started two of the last three games and could continue to draw spot starts in the outfield against right-handed pitching, especially with performances like this one.
May 25 2024Stowers is starting in left field and batting eighth against the White Sox on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers will make his third start of the season Saturday. In his last start, he went 1-for-3 with a double against the Cardinals on May 21, and the 26-year-old is 2-for-8 with one RBI since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on May 13. With Stowers in left field, Colton Cowser will shift to center field while Cedric Mullins gets a rest day.
May 13 2024The Orioles recalled Stowers from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Baltimore cleared room on the 26-man active roster for Stowers by optioning outfielder/first baseman Heston Kjerstad to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Stowers, 26, is joining the big club for the first time this season, but he saw action with the Orioles during the 2022 and 2023 campaigns and owns a collective .207/.267/.331 in 131 career big-league plate appearances. He'll likely serve as a depth outfielder while he's up with the Orioles and could be sent back to Triple-A once Austin Hays (calf) is ready to return from the injured list.
Mar 22 2024The Orioles optioned Stowers to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Mar 20 2024Stowers hit three home runs in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers to bring his total to seven homers this spring. He is batting .275/.286/.800 through 17 exhibition games. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers has minor-league options remaining and there are a number of fresh faces pushing to make the Orioles' Opening Day roster. While the power numbers this spring look good, his 1:12 BB:K is less impressive (and arguably more meaningful in a small sample). Strikeouts have been an issue for Stowers at the upper levels -- the 26-year-old has three home runs and a 31.3 percent strikeout rate in 131 major-league plate appearances to date. He's also limited defensively to the outfield corners.
Feb 27 2024Stowers has been hitting lefties well during live batting practice sessions in camp, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 15 2023Stowers (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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 15 2023The Orioles optioned Stowers to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers will head back to Norfolk after he went 2-for-26 with no extra-base hits and nine strikeouts over 11 games since being recalled April 30. The outfielder is batting just .067 over 30 at-bats this season with the Orioles and will look to get right with Norfolk before potentially returning to Baltimore later this season. Reliever Logan Gillaspie was called up from Triple-A on Monday and will replace Stowers on the 26-man roster.
May 13 2023Stowers is not in Saturday's lineup against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Despite a righty (Roansy Contreras) 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.
May 12 2023Stowers is starting in right field and batting ninth for the Orioles in Friday's game versus the Pirates, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers is just 2-for-24 on the season and hitless in his last 14 at-bats, but the O's are still rolling him out there regularly against righties of late. He'll have to show something soon for that to continue.
May 10 2023Stowers is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Rays, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers will take a seat against left-hander Jalen Beeks on Wednesday. Anthony Santander will get the start in right field while Ryan O'Hearn will operate as the designated hitter.
May 9 2023Stowers is starting in right field and batting ninth for the Orioles on Tuesday against the Rays, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers has now made six straight starts against right-handers, splitting his time evenly between left and right field. He'll need to pick it up at the dish to keep that going, though, as he's managed just two hits -- both singles -- in his first 21 at-bats with the Orioles this season.
May 8 2023Stowers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Stowers will head to the bench against Tampa Bay southpaw Shane McClanahan while Austin Hays and Anthony Santander occupy the corner spots in the Baltimore outfield in the series opener. Stowers has started in each of the Orioles' last five matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he's gone just 2-for-17 at the dish since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Norfolk. The 25-year-old could soon be in danger of losing hold of a strong-side platoon role.
May 5 2023Stowers isn't starting Friday against Atlanta, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stowers has started three of Baltimore's four games since being promoted from Triple-A Norfolk on April 30. He'll get a breather Friday, moving Anthony Santander into right field and James McCann in as the Orioles' designated hitter.
May 4 2023Stowers is starting in left field and batting fifth for the Orioles on Thursday in Kansas City, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the second start in a row for Stowers, who is filling in for Austin Hays in left. Stowers had one hit in two plate appearances before being replaced by a pinch hitter Wednesday.
Apr 30 2023The Orioles recalled Stowers from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Orioles' recent stretch of facing left-handed pitching coming to an end, the team is opting to swap an extra right-handed bat (Joey Ortiz) off the 26-man active roster in favor of a left-handed one (Stowers). Though he secured a spot on Baltimore's Opening Day roster, Stowers saw action in just three games before being optioned to Norfolk on April 9. He's posted a 1.005 OPS over 71 plate appearances in the International League this season.
