Cowser was diagnosed with two fractured ribs after colliding with the outfield wall during a June 12 game against the Tigers, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Banner reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cowser missed three games with what the Orioles referred to simply as general soreness at the time, but the outfielder has now revealed that he had a more serious diagnosis. While Cowser homered three times in the first four games after returning from the rib fractures, he finished the season slashing a disappointing .196/.269/.385 with 16 homers and 14 steals over just 92 contests. Cowser also missed time with a fractured thumb and a concussion, but he entered the offseason with a clean bill of health.

He's up to 16 home runs this season, with three of those coming in his last seven games. Prior to that, he had just one over his previous 16 contests. Cowser has produced a disappointing follow-up to an impressive rookie year; he owns a .202/.272/.397 slash line with 29 extra-base hits and 40 RBI through 87 appearances.

Cowser went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 4-1 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Cowser delivered a go-ahead three-run shot off Tyler Alexander in the sixth inning to push Baltimore ahead. The outfielder has now homered in two straight games and will aim to match his season-long streak of three consecutive contests with a long ball, which he accomplished June 17-19. The 25-year-old's overall results have been underwhelming, as he holds a .665 OPS through 82 games in what some expected to be a breakout campaign.

Cowser went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a stolen base during Tuesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Cowser had to shake off a bit of rust after returning from the 7-day concussion IL on Sunday, going 1-for-10 with four strikeouts in his first two games back. He reached safely three times Tuesday, notching a double and a pair of walks with no strikeouts. The outfielder is striking out at a career-worst 31.7 percent clip in 2025, and he's slashing .210/.278/.390 with nine homers and seven stolen bases across 230 plate appearances.

The Orioles reinstated Cowser (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Baltimore optioned Daniel Johnson to Triple-A Norfolk to clear room for Cowser, who missed about a week and a half while recovering from a concussion. Prior to being shelved, the 25-year-old slashed .213/.279/.401 with nine home runs and six stolen bases over 215 plate appearances on the season. Cowser should immediately settle back into an everyday role in the Baltimore outfield.
