2 months agoAccording to Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com, Baltimore Orioles outfielder
Colton Cowser (hand) is fully healthy following his offseason hand surgery. When asked about his status, Cowser said he is physically ready for spring training and will not miss any time. Over the offseason, the young outfielder underwent surgery on his fractured left hand. However, fantasy managers should not expect the former top prospect to face any limitations during spring training. Last season, the 24-year-old enjoyed a breakout campaign as he launched 24 home runs with a .242/.321/.447 slash line. He swiped nine bags and added 77 runs and 69 RBI. Under the hood, Cowser generated a strong 13.6 percent barrel rate and a 46.1 percent hard-hit rate. Cowser remains a solid pick for power and counting stats batting in a potent Baltimore lineup.

5 months agoThe Baltimore Orioles announced on Tuesday that rookie outfielder
Colton Cowser (hand) had successful surgery on his fractured hand, and he's expected to be ready to go for spring training next February. Cowser fractured his left hand in the team's Game 2 loss of the American League Wild-Card Series to get eliminated from the postseason by the Kansas City Royals. It was a tough way to end what was really a great season for the 24-year-old in his first full season in the big leagues in 2024. The good news is that Cowser will have plenty of time to heal up in order to be ready for the start of spring training and the 2025 regular season. In his 153 games played for Baltimore during the regular season, Cowser slashed .242/.321/.447 with a .768 OPS, 24 home runs, 69 RBI and nine stolen bases. He'll be a regular starter in the outfield for the O's to begin the 2025 campaign.

Colton Cowser (hand) was hit by a pitch in the left hand during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Royals, eliminating the Orioles from the playoffs. It was a double whammy for the 24-year-old, as it resulted in a fractured hand and also went down as a strike instead of a hit-by-pitch because he was in the act of swinging, which wound up as a strikeout. With the O's out of the playoffs, the left-handed hitter will be fully recovered by spring training. He finished the regular season with a strong rookie year, putting together a .242-24-69-77-9 line in 561 PA.

Colton Cowser is not in Sunday's lineup as the Orioles look to clinch a series victory against the Colorado Rockies. Cowser started each of the past 23 games and will take a routine maintenance day. As a result,
Austin Slater will cover left field,
Anthony Santander right field, and
Cedric Mullins II will slot in center this afternoon. Fantasy managers should expect Cowser to return to the starting nine on Monday as the Orioles play host to the Chicago White Sox. Across his past eight games, Cowser has held a modest .226/.294/.484 line with two home runs. The entire Baltimore offense is worth stacking in DFS today as they face Colorado southpaw
Ty Blach, who carries a hefty 6.36 ERA.
