The Orioles have suffered a laundry list of injuries this season. Baltimore’s disappointing record cannot be attributed to the loss of one player, but the Birds have felt the loss of guys like Colton Cowser, Jordan Westburg, Grayson Rodriguez, and several others.
Cowser joined the Orioles last night after missing almost the entire season up to this point. The 25-year-old made it through only 18 plate appearances before breaking his thumb while diving into first base.
Cowser immediately made his mark with a deep fly in his first game back against Seattle.
Everyone knew losing Cowser was a blow, but few expected Baltimore to fall completely out of contention before The Milk Man returned.
