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