Colton Cowser (hand) faced left-hander Keegan Akin and right-hander Bryan Baker in a live batting practice session Tuesday, per Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun. His participation in the Orioles’ first full-squad workout suggests he is fully recovered from the surgery he underwent in October to repair a left hand fracture.
Fantasy Impact:
Cowser is set to open the season in a full-time role, primarily against right-handed pitching, though his strong defense could keep him in the lineup versus lefties as well. The 24-year-old finished second in AL Rookie of the Year voting in 2024 after slashing .242/.321/.447 with 24 homers, nine steals, and 69 RBI. With a year of MLB experience under his belt, Cowser has the potential to improve his plate approach and build on last season’s production, making him a viable mid-round fantasy target.
