Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Rehab assignment paused

Stowers (oblique) returned to Miami for further evaluation Monday after being unable to play at Triple-A Jacksonville on his rehab assignment over the previous two days due to general fatigue, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

Stowers began a rehab assignment Friday with Jacksonville, going 0-for-3 with a walk while serving as a designated hitter. He had been expected to play again Saturday and Sunday, but he went unused both days. It's unclear whether the fatigue he's experiencing is related to the oblique strain that landed him on the 15-day injured list in mid-August, or if he's contending with a different issue. More could be known about Stowers' status later Monday after he's looked at by team doctors.
