The Marlins placed Stowers on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.
Per Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com, Marlins manager Clayton McCullough noted that Stowers is likely to miss "several weeks" due to a Grade 1 strain, which resulted in the All-Star outfielder being scratched Saturday. Joey Wiemer was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to add outfield depth, but Dane Myers and Derek Hill may be likelier candidates to see increased opportunities while Stowers is on the shelf.

Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Out several weeks with side strain
Rotowire
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Saturday that Stowers will be placed on the injured list and is slated to miss "several weeks" due to a Grade 1 left side strain, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
After Stowers wasn't included in the lineup prior to Saturday's game against the Red Sox, McCullough indicated that the outfielder's absence was precautionary, per Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network. However, that outlook has shifted significantly, as Stowers is now headed to the IL and is expected to be sidelined for more than the 10-day minimum. The loss of Stowers is a major blow to Miami's offense, as he had broken out this season with 25 home runs, 73 RBI, 51 runs scored and five stolen bases through 117 games. Heriberto Hernandez started in left field against Boston on Saturday and could get the bulk of the opportunities at that position until Stowers is able to return to action.
