Miami Marlins All-Star outfielder Kyle Stowers was activated from the 10-day injured list to make his season ​debut against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers ‌on Sunday.

The Marlins optioned infielder Deyvison De Los Santos to Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Stowers, who had been sidelined with a ‌Grade ​1 right hamstring strain, ⁠finished a rehab assignment ⁠with Triple-A Jacksonville.

“Everything from the rehab checked out,” Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said. “He continued to check the necessary boxes. ​Certainly, there was a physical component with how he felt, how the ⁠hamstring was. He got ⁠back-to-back nine-inning games. I think ​he came out of that feeling like he’s ​in a really good spot physically, ‌and also, I think mentally, now he feels like, ‘OK, I’m over this.'”

Stowers, 28, made a massive leap in production in ⁠2025. He entered the season with a .208 average, six home runs and 35 RBIs in ⁠117 games ‌spread across three major league ⁠campaigns, including 67 games with ​the ‌Baltimore Orioles.

In his first full ​season with ⁠the Marlins, after a 2024 trade, Stowers batted .288 with 25 homers and 73 RBIs in 117 games while earning a spot on the National League All-Star team.
