Colton Cowser Starting Over Cedric Mullins Again
6 months agoBaltimore Orioles rookie outfielder Colton Cowser is starting in center field over the slumping Cedric Mullins yet again on Thursday against the hosting Toronto Blue Jays. Cowser will bat ninth against Blue Jays left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. It's the fourth time in the last six games that Cowser has started over Mullins in center field. Meanwhile, Austin Hays, who is starting to heat up offensively, is starting in left field for the fourth time in the last five games. It signals that the left-handed-hitting Mullins is the odd man out in Baltimore's outfield right now with a .178/.225/.314 slash line on the year. After a nice start to his first full year in the big leagues, Cowser has also hit a rough patch, though, and has gone 5-for-39 (.128) with a homer, three RBI and 11 strikeouts in 12 games since May 23.
