Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser, the American League Rookie of the Year runner-up in 2024, has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a broken left thumb, the team announced Monday.
Cowser, 25, sustained the injury sliding back into first base during Sunday’s 3-1 loss at Toronto.
The Orioles recalled outfielder Dylan Carlson from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding transaction.
Cowser, the No. 5 draft pick in 2021, was 2-for-16 with 1 homer, 1 RBI and 6 strikeouts in the season-opening four-game series against the Blue Jays.
He also suffered a fractured left hand after being hit by a pitch during the Orioles’ season-ending loss in Game 2 of the American League wild-card series in October.
