Overview

  • The Orioles lifted Cowser off the 60-day injured list Monday ahead of their West Coast road trip.
  • Cowser suffered a left thumb fracture diving into first base during Baltimore’s fourth game of the season in Toronto.
  • To clear spots on both the 40-man and 26-man rosters, the club designated outfielder Cooper Hummel for assignment.
  • The reigning American League Rookie of the Year is slated to rejoin the Orioles’ lineup Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners.
  • Without Cowser, Baltimore has fielded one of MLB’s weakest outfields and sits 14 games below .500.
