Marlins Start Season Shorthanded as Stowers and Ruiz Hit IL
The Miami Marlins announced that outfielder Kyle Stowers will begin the season on the injured list with a grade 1 hamstring strain and outfielder Esteury Ruiz also heads to the IL with an oblique strain, likely sidelining him into May. Stowers could return as early as mid-April, while Ruiz’s timeline is less certain, prompting a reshuffled Opening Day outfield that includes Jakob Marsee, Owen Caissie, and Griffin Conine as the team navigates injuries to its depth.
