Show Notes
The Miami Marlins face a significant challenge as they begin their 2026 season, with two outfielders sidelined due to injuries. All-Star left fielder Kyle Stowers and backup outfielder Esteury Ruiz are both out, leaving a major void in the lineup. Stowers, who hit 25 home runs and drove in 73 runs last season, is expected to miss 3-4 weeks, while Ruiz will be out for 6-8 weeks. The team is now scrambling to find replacements, with Connor Norby and Heriberto Hernández getting a chance in left field, and options like Owen Caissie, Griffin Conine, and Javier Sanoja ready to step up. The Marlins will face a left-handed starter in Kyle Freeland on opening day, and will need to rely on their bench to cover until Stowers returns.
