BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles reinstated Colton Cowser from the 60-day injured list Monday, bringing back the outfielder prior to a six-game road trip out West.
Baltimore was off Monday before facing the Mariners and Athletics on this trip. The last-place Orioles are coming off a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox.
Cowser has been out with a broken left thumb. He hasn't played since March 30.
