Stowers can be optioned all year, it's not like they'd have to DFA him if the recall him then send him back out.

I'd rather hold Stowers as depth for now and then have him available for a deadline deal for a MLB reliever rather than swap him for a similar prospect at a different position right now.

I don't think Elias is unable to get him to SD, he's certainly capable. He just doesn't think the juice is worth the squeeze and, without any details, I think that's the right decision.

With Hays back, they didn't want Kjerstad to go from infrequent to nearly never playing.  I doubt we see even 1 start a week for Stowers, it'll be less than Kjerstad unless he rolls with his first opportunity and forces them to give him more.  Maybe the first week they'll try to get him a start to gain some comfort.  If he has a good game maybe he gets another.

Yeah because Hays deserves more chances. Going on a calendar year of him being a JAG.

His whole career he's been JAG. But that still is good enough to play. I don't think Stowers really has considerable offensive upside over Hays though. Kjerstad I do, but I don't think he can play LF well enough, at least not at home.

Optioned.
