Goes yard in return Saturday
Stowers went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Cubs.
Analysis
Returning to the lineup after sitting out Friday's game as a precaution due to some hamstring tightness, Stowers took Trent Thornton deep in the seventh inning for the Marlins' final run of the night. Stowers has hit safely in his last five contests while going 8-for-20 with four extra-base hits, and over 11 games since returning in late August from a full strain of his left hamstring, he's produced a .324/.419/.649 slash line with three doubles, three homers, five runs and eight RBI.

Back in action Saturday
Stowers (hamstring) will serve as the Marlins' designated hitter and bat leadoff Saturday against the Cubs.
Analysis
Stowers sat out Friday's contest after leaving Thursday's game with hamstring tightness, but he appears to be feeling well enough to play Saturday. The 28-year-old has been swinging a hot bat since returning from the injured list, going 10-for-33 with two homers, seven RBI and four runs scored in his last 10 games.

Not in Friday's lineup
Stowers (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.
Analysis
The 28-year-old slugger will be held out of the starting nine for at least one game after exiting Thursday's contest due to left hamstring tightness. The specifics of the injury aren't clear, but it's the same hamstring Stowers strained in mid-August, sidelining him for a couple weeks. Deyvison De Los Santos will fill in at first base and bat seventh against Chicago lefty Shota Imanaga.

Dealing with hamstring injury
Stowers exited Thursday's contest against the Royals with left hamstring tightness, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Stowers was hit by a pitch in the foot during top of the seventh frame, but it was ultimately hamstring discomfort that resulted in him being removed in the eighth inning. The 28-year-old will likely undergo additional imaging and should have his status updated in the near future. It's worth noting that a strain of the same hamstring put Stowers on the injured list for a couple weeks in August.

Exits early Thursday
Stowers was removed from Thursday night's contest against the Royals in the eighth inning due to an apparent foot injury, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Stowers took a 93.2-mph fastball from Craig Kimbrel off his left foot with two outs in the top of the seventh frame, and he ultimately remained in the contest. The 28-year-old was later replaced by Deyvison De Los Santos in the field with no outs and a runner at second base in the bottom of the eighth. More information on the status of Stowers will likely come following the conclusion of the game.
