Marlins' Stowers, Ruiz Injured in Spring Training

Marlins Suffer Injury Setbacks: Stowers and Ruiz Exit Early with Hamstring and Oblique Strains

The Miami Marlins faced a blow during Fridays spring training games when All-Star outfielder Kyle Stowers and utility man Esteury Ruiz left early with injuries. Stowers experienced hamstring tightness, while Ruiz strained his oblique. Both are scheduled for imaging tests on Saturday to determine the extent of their injuries and potential time on the injured list.

Stowers, who had previously dealt with a hamstring issue, is crucial to the team with his 25 homers and 73 RBIs from last season. Ruiz, a speedster acquired from the Dodgers, was competing for a bench role with his base-stealing skills.

The team has depth options like Jakob Marsee, Owen Caissie, Javier Sanoja, and Christopher Morel to cover the outfield. Connor Norby stepped up in left field immediately after Ruizs injury. The Marlins hope for positive test results and a healthy team as they approach the seasons start.
