Outrighted to minors The Orioles outrighted Bowman to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.
Impact After the Orioles selected his contract and added him to the 40-man roster Sunday, Bowman seemed in good position to be part of the Opening Day bullpen, but the team ultimately elected to go in a different direction with its 26th spot on the active roster to begin the season.
