MIAMI (AP) — Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers could return from his left oblique strain as soon as next week, but the team will be without Connor Norby for the foreseeable future after the third baseman went on the injured list Friday with a left quad strain.
Stowers has been sidelined with the injury since Aug. 17. The All-Star was scheduled for a rehab outing with Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday night as a designated hitter and will play in the outfield on Saturday.
If those outings go well, manager Clayton McCullough said Stowers will return to Miami on Sunday and be activated early next week.
Norby said he felt tightness in his left quad rounding first base after a double late in Wednesday’s loss at Washington and was taken out of the game.
It is Norby’s third trip to the injured list this season. He missed the first three weeks with an oblique strain, then was sidelined more than a month with a broken hamate bone in his left wrist. The Marlins activated Norby on Aug. 29, and he had gone 6 for 18 with five RBIs in the five games he’d played since returning.
“Frustrated is not even the word I’d use,” Norby said Friday before Miami opened a three-game home series against Philadelphia. “If I can think of a word, I’ll tell you. It sucks. You get hurt at the start of the year. You start off behind, come back and you’re fighting your way through, feel good. Start feeling like yourself after all the searching and then break your hand. Six weeks gone. You come back. Feel great. It’s the best you’ve felt all year and then you get a minor tweak.”
Norby did not want to risk further injury by playing through the quad strain but added he will be back before the end of the season — the Marlins wrap up their 2025 campaign against the New York Mets on Sept. 28.
“I’ve never been hurt in my life playing this game,” he said. “I feel bad for the team, for the fans, for the players here, for Clayton. I hate it more than anybody, but I’m going to be back and I’m going to be better.”
Norby joins a number of injured Miami players. Another, outfielder Derek Hill, was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday (retroactive to Sept. 2) with a right hamstring strain.
Reliever Jesús Tinoco underwent hybrid reconstruction in his right ulnar collateral ligament with an associated flexor tendon repair with Dr. Keith Meister on Wednesday, the team said.
Right-hander Edward Cabrera was placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday with a right elbow sprain. McCullough said Friday that the team is still gathering information on the nature and extent of Cabrera’s injury and declined to speculate if the starter will potentially need Tommy John surgery.
“That I don’t want to speak to,” he said. “I don’t know. It hasn’t been confirmed either way.”
Right-hander Janson Junk, who has been out since late August with right ulnar nerve irritation, is expected to start for the Marlins on Monday, McCullough said, after a strong rehab outing with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.
Left-hander Ryan Weathers, who went on the 60-day IL on June 9 with a left lat strain, is expected to return to Miami’s rotation by the middle of next week.

Renee Good ’s family is accusing federal immigration officers of killing the Minneapolis mother of three as she attempted to follow agents' instructions, and said Wednesday they have hired the same law firm that represented George Floyd ’s family to press for answers and accountability.
Her loved ones said in a statement they want Good, 37, remembered as “an agent of peace” and urged the public not to use her death as a political flashpoint, according to the Chicago-based firm Romanucci & Blandin. The firm said it is investigating Good's death and will release information in the coming weeks.
The family's decision to hire the firm came the same week the U.S. Justice Department said it sees no basis to open a federal civil rights investigation into the shooting. An FBI probe of Renee Good’s death is ongoing.
Roughly half a dozen federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned this week, and several supervisors in the criminal section of the Civil Rights Division in Washington gave notice of their departures, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Trump administration has defended the ICE officer’s actions, saying he fired in self-defense while standing in front of Good’s vehicle as it began to move forward. That explanation has been panned by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and others based on videos of the confrontation.
Romanucci & Blandin said the family wants answers about the federal officers were doing on Jan. 7 in the neighborhood where Good was killed, as well as officers’ actions during the encounter and delays in medical aid after the shooting. The ICE agent who fired is Jonathan Ross, an Iraq War veteran who has served as a deportation officer since 2015.
Good’s partner, Becca Good, and other relatives say on Jan. 7 the couple had just dropped off their 6-year-old child at school and stopped to observe the law enforcement activity. Video shows a red SUV driven by Renee sitting perpendicular and blocking part of the road. She is pressing the horn repeatedly.
A short time later, a truck carrying immigration officers pulls up, two get out and one of them orders Renee Good to open her door. She reverses briefly, then turns the steering wheel toward the passenger side as the officer says again, “get out of the car.” Almost simultaneously, Becca, standing on the passenger side and trying to open the door, shouts, “drive, baby, drive!”
The SUV pulls forward and gunshots are heard as an officer who in front of the vehicle opens fire.
“What happened to Renee is wrong,” the firm said, adding that they intend to share their findings “on a rolling basis” because they believe the community is not receiving adequate information elsewhere. The firm, which helped secure a $27 million settlement for Floyd’s family, is now representing Becca Good as well as Renee Good's parents and siblings.
Becca Good released a statement to Minnesota Public Radio on Friday saying the couple had stopped to support their neighbors: “ We had whistles. They had guns.” Becca Good and her family have not responded to calls and messages from The Associated Press.
Becca Good has referred to Renee as her wife. The law firm said Renee and Becca were “not legally married but were committed partners dedicated to their family."
