Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Swipes bag in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Stowers went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Reds.
The 27-year-old outfielder had a rough introduction to south Florida last year after being acquired from the Orioles, but Stowers is looking a lot more comfortable to begin his first full season as a Marlin. Through 22 games, he's slashing .307/.393/.453 with two homers, two steals, 11 runs and 15 RBI, and he's making some impressively consistent hard contact -- Stowers is in the 93rd percentile in barrel rate.

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.

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: 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.
