Orioles reinstate OF Colton Cowser after thumb fracture
June 3 - 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. --Field Level Media

Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins goes on 10-day IL with hamstring strain
BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles placed outfielder Cedric Mullins on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right hamstring strain prior to their series-opener against the Chicago White Sox. Mullins has played 50 games, including all nine innings of Wednesday's loss to St. Louis after missing the first two games of the series. He is leading the struggling Orioles with 10 home runs, 31 RBIs and 19 extra-base hits. Baltimore (19-36) began Friday with baseball's third-worst record after consecutive playoff appearances in 2023 and 2024. Mullins' IL stint comes as Baltimore anticipates the return of 2024 AL Rookie of the Year runner-up and outfielder Colton Cowser (thumb), who is on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles signed utility player Cooper Hummel to a one-year major league contract in a corresponding move. Baltimore could be one of only a few sellers at the MLB trade deadline, with Mullins as one of the most movable pieces. The 30-year-old Mullins will hit free agency in 2026. He can play all three outfield positions and has exceeded 15 home runs and 50 RBIs in each of the last four seasons. He earned a 2021 All-Star appearance while homering 30 times, contributing 59 RBIs and batting .291 in 159 games. ___ AP MLB:
