Colton Cowser Sent Down Monday
1 year agoThe Baltimore Orioles optioned outfield prospect Colton Cowser to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday and reinstated outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Cowser, Baltimore's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, really struggled in his first taste of big-league pitching, going 7-for-61 (.115) with no home runs, four RBI and 15 runs scored in 26 games played. The 23-year-old still has a bright future, but he'll go back down to the farm to work on his swing before likely returning to Baltimore when rosters expand in September. Cowser is a dangerous all-around hitter from the left side of the plate, but he can be sent to the waiver wire if you were holding onto him in mixed leagues.
