Jackson Kowar - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Shipped to Baltimore The Twins traded Kowar (shoulder) to the Orioles on Saturday in exchange for cash.

Impact The Twins DFA'd Kowar on Thursday to make room for Anthony Banda, and the former will now find a home on Baltimore's 40-man roster. The 29-year-old righty finished 2025 with a 4.23 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 17 innings with the Mariners and will have to break camp with the O's in order to keep his roster spot.

DFA'd by Twins The Twins designated Kowar (shoulder) for assignment Thursday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact The transaction clears a 40-man roster spot for Anthony Banda, who was acquired via trade Thursday. Kowar was a waiver claim of the Twins earlier this month and could now be on the move again. He ended last season on the injured list with a right shoulder impingement, and it's unclear what Kowar's current health status is.

Claimed by Minnesota The Twins claimed Kowar (shoulder) off waivers from the Mariners on Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Mariners last week after they acquired Jhonny Pereda from the Twins, so this ended up being somewhat of a trade. Before landing on the injured list with a shoulder impingement in August, Kowar posted a 4.24 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB across 17 innings out of the bullpen for Seattle.

Impact The 29-year-old righty will give up his place on Seattle's 40-man roster for Jhonny Pereda, who was acquired from the Twins on Tuesday. Kowar made 15 regular-season appearances for the Mariners in 2025 and finished the year with a 4.24 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 17 frames before a right shoulder impingement ended his season in mid-August.
