Colton Cowser Stats

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Colton Cowser went 1-for-5 with a home run for Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday. Cowser remains one of the more talented Orioles prospects and has hit a steady .307 with 16 home runs, 57 RBI and eight stolen bases. The issue for Cowser has been his limited time during his big-league debut, where he struggled with just seven hits in 61 at-bats combined with no homers between two stints. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should still have plenty of reasons to hold onto Cowser as one of the better outfield prospects in the game, and he could be an asset for managers in redraft leagues next season.

The Baltimore Orioles intend to recall outfielder Colton Cowser from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday when rosters expand to 28 players, according to a source, as Baltimore is yet to confirm the move. Cowser ranks as the No. 2 Orioles prospect and MLB Pipeline's No. 14 prospect, and appears to be on the verge of his second big-league stint. The 23-year-old looked overmatched before being demoted on Aug. 14, slashing just .115/.286/.148 in 77 plate appearances with the parent club earlier this summer. Cowser's chances to raise those figures could be few and far between; he doesn't project as an everyday player the rest of the way. Fantasy managers should simply keep an eye on him instead of rushing to waiver wires to add him at this stage of the year.

The Baltimore Orioles optioned outfield prospect Colton Cowser to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday and reinstated outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Cowser, Baltimore's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, really struggled in his first taste of big-league pitching, going 7-for-61 (.115) with no home runs, four RBI and 15 runs scored in 26 games played. The 23-year-old still has a bright future, but he'll go back down to the farm to work on his swing before likely returning to Baltimore when rosters expand in September. Cowser is a dangerous all-around hitter from the left side of the plate, but he can be sent to the waiver wire if you were holding onto him in mixed leagues.
