Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images The Baltimore Orioles reinstated outfielder Colton Cowser from the 60-day injured list during Monday's off day, while utility man Cooper Hummel was designated for assignment.
Cowser, 25, played in just four games this season before he fractured his left thumb diving into first base. He opened the season 2-for-16 with a home run.
During a breakout rookie season in 2024, the left-handed hitter delivered 24 home runs with 69 RBIs in 153 games with a .242 batting average and a .768 OPS. He finished second in American League Rookie of the Year voting.
Hummel, 30, was signed as a free agent by the Orioles in 2025 and had just one at-bat. He played 10 games at Triple-A in the New York Yankees' organization earlier this season.
In 83 major league games over parts of four seasons with four different clubs, Hummel is a career .159 hitter with three home runs and 17 RBIs.
