Drives in four Cowser went 2-for-4 with two doubles and four RBI in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Red Sox.

Impact Cowser drove in the Orioles' first three runs Tuesday, driving in Cedric Mullins with a two-out double in the second inning before adding two more RBI with a second two-bagger in the fourth. Cowser would add a fifth RBI with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. The 24-year-old outfield has started over Austin Hays in three of Baltimore's last four games against right-handed pitching. Cowser's certainly run with the opportunity, going 7-for-15 with four doubles to start the year. After a rough showing in his first big-league stint last season, Cowser is starting to show why he was regarded as one of the top prospects in a loaded Orioles' system.

Colton Cowser has 4 RBIs, Corbin Burnes shuts down Boston's bats as Orioles beat Red Sox 7-1

Colton Cowser drove in four runs, Corbin Burnes allowed two hits over seven innings and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Red Sox 7-1 in Boston’s home opener

Likely to make roster Cowser is expected to make the Orioles' major-league roster after the team sent down Heston Kjerstad and Kyle Stowers on Friday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact Cowser certainly earned the spot, slashing .325/.449/.725 through 16 Grapefruit League games. Even with that impressive sample, Cowser likely doesn't have a clear path to everyday at-bats to begin the season. He figures to be an extra outfielder, though if he can carry his spring hitting into the regular season, he could eventually force his way into a strong-side platoon job.

Optioned to Triple-A The Orioles optioned Cowser to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

Impact Cowser was brought up from Triple-A as rosters expanded to 28 on Friday, but he'll head back down to the minors as Aaron Hicks (back) returns from the injured list. The 23-year-old outfielder is slashing just .115/.286/.148 in the majors and likely would only return to the majors this season for depth purposes.

Recalled from Triple-A Cowser was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

Impact Cowser is back with the big club as rosters expand. The top prospect really struggled in his initial go-round with the Orioles, managing a lowly .434 OPS over his first 77 plate appearances. It seems unlikely that he'll be given regular playing time in the final month.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will be added when rosters expand Cowser will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk when rosters expand Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Cowser was sent down earlier this month after posting just a .434 OPS over his first 77 plate appearances at the big-league level. While his future remains bright, he wouldn't appear to be in line for a ton of playing time down the stretch as the Orioles try to maintain their American League East lead.

Optioned to Triple-A Cowser was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Impact Cowser remains one of Baltimore's top prospects, but he posted only a .434 OPS over his first 77 plate appearances at the big-league level, so Baltimore decided to send him back to the minors to open up a roster spot for the returning Aaron Hicks. Cowser owns a .996 OPS at the Triple-A level this year, so if he can get back on track at the plate he could rejoin the Orioles before the campaign comes to a close.

Picks up first steal Cowser went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Mets.

Impact Cowser showed modest speed in the minors, topping out at 18 steals over three levels in 2022. He had seven thefts in 56 Triple-A games prior to his call-up this season. The outfielder has struggled to adjust to major-league pitching so far, batting .125 with four RBI, 15 runs scored, two doubles and and 11:20 BB:K over 70 plate appearances. Until he can hit more consistently, he'll remain in playing-time battles around the outfield.

On bench again Friday Cowser is again on the bench Friday versus the Mets.

Impact Cowser made a late-game appearance in Thursday's series finale against the Blue Jays and hit a slump-busting double, but he'll grab some more pine Friday as the Orioles face off against the Mets and left-hander David Peterson. Austin Hays, Ryan McKenna and Ryan O'Hearn are starting across the outfield.

AUGUST 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench again Thursday Cowser remains out of the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Cowser is slashing just .098/.254/.118 through his first 63 major-league plate appearances and hasn't appeared in the Orioles' starting lineup since Monday. Austin Hays, Ryan McKenna and Ryan O'Hearn are starting across the outfield in Thursday's series finale at Toronto.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup versus lefty Cowser is not in the lineup Wednesday at Toronto.

Impact Cowser was on the bench Tuesday as the Orioles faced off against left-hander Hyun Jin Ryu and he will remain seated Wednesday as the Jays roll out another southpaw in Yusei Kikuchi. Ryan McKenna will patrol center field.

AUGUST 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Tuesday's lineup Cowser is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Toronto.

Impact The lefty-hitting Cowser will take a seat Tuesday with southpaw Hyun Jin Ryu on the mound for the Blue Jays. Ryan McKenna will start in center field and bat eighth.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Sunday Cowser is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Though Cowser's path to playing time in the outfield opened up a bit with Aaron Hicks (hamstring) recently joining Cedric Mullins (groin) on the injured list, the rookie still finds himself on the bench for the second time in five games. Cowser is hitting just .106 in 47 at-bats since getting called up from Triple-A Norfolk on July 5 and could be at risk of a demotion as soon as one of the two injured outfielders is activated.

JULY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits against lefty Cowser is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact With Aaron Hicks (hamstring) joining Cedric Mullins (groin) on the injured list Tuesday, Cowser should have a clear path to primary starting duties in center field, though he may be occupying the strong side of a platoon at the position with Ryan McKenna. The lefty-hitting Cowser will retreat to the bench in favor or McKenna in the series finale with southpaw Ranger Suarez on the hill for the Phillies.
