Dealt to D-backs The Orioles traded Strowd to the Diamondbacks on Thursday in exchange for Blaze Alexander, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact Strowd made a strong impression during his first taste of MLB action in 2025, turning in a 1.71 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 26.1 innings with the Orioles. Now with the Diamondbacks, the 28-year-old righty has a good chance to open the regular season in an Arizona bullpen that will likely be without A.J. Puk (elbow) and Justin Martinez (elbow) for most of the year.

Works scoreless outing Sunday Strowd threw 1.2 scoreless innings of relief Sunday against the Giants, allowing one hit and one walk with one strikeout.

Impact The rookie right-hander continues to be an effective member of Baltimore's new-look bullpen. Through 17 innings, Strowd has overcome a concerning 9:8 K:BB to produce a strong 1.59 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. Strowd has no holds or save chances in 2025, so he'll likely need to miss more bats and cut down on the walks in order to work his way up the pecking order.

Selected to 40-man The Orioles selected Strowd to their 40-man roster Tuesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

However, the right-hander turned in a 6.80 ERA over 41 innings with Triple-A Norfolk in 2024, so a drastic turnaround would likely be needed before he spends any time in the bigs.
