"Stowers has been dealing with what McCullough described three weeks ago as a 'very minor' strain in that same right hamstring, and the Marlins have mostly relegated the outfielder to live batting practice sessions rather than game action."
"Given that Ruiz's injury has already been diagnosed as a strain, it would have to be a very minor strain for the outfielder to avoid a pretty lengthy stint on the IL, as even lighter oblique issues usually lead to at least a couple of weeks on the sidelines."
"Ruiz was acquired from the Dodgers in a December trade, and the lightning-fast outfielder is looking to win a spot on the Marlins' bench."
Kyle Stowers left the game due to right hamstring tightness, while Esteury Ruiz exited with a left oblique strain. Manager Clayton McCullough provided updates but had no new information on imaging tests. Stowers has been limited to batting practice due to a previous minor hamstring strain. Ruiz, acquired from the Dodgers, is aiming for a bench spot after leading the AL in stolen bases in 2023. Both players' injuries could impact their availability for the season.
