Bowman signed a minor-league contract with the Astros on Saturday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman was cut loose by the Orioles earlier in the day, and it didn't take long for him to find a new landing spot. The 34-year-old reliever accumulated a 6.20 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 24.2 innings with the O's, so he will likely have to show improvement in the minor leagues before he gets a chance to join Houston's bullpen. Until then, he'll provide reliever depth at Triple-A Sugar Land.

Bowman cleared waivers Saturday and was released by the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman accepted outright assignments each of the previous three times he was DFA'd by Baltimore, but his latest removal from the 40-man roster will now also end with him entering free agency. The 34-year-old has put up a 6.20 ERA and 1.50 WHIP through 24.2 innings in the big leagues this season, and he'll likely have to settle for a minor-league deal in order to land another gig.

Bowman accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday after clearing waivers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman made one appearance with the O's during his latest big-league stint, giving up four runs in just 1.2 innings. The 34-year-old will officially remain in the organization as bullpen depth, though his most recent outing likely hurts his chances of returning to Baltimore later in the year.

The Orioles designated Bowman for assignment Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman was just added to the roster Sunday and was bludgeoned for four runs on six hits and one walk over 1.2 innings in his lone appearance. He's already accepted three outright assignments by the Orioles since March and could do so again, if he clears waivers.

The Orioles selected Bowman's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Baltimore cleared room for Bowman on the 40-man roster by designating Luis F. Castillo for assignment and on the 26-man roster by optioning Kade Strowd to Norfolk. Bowman will be up with the big club for the third time this season, after he accrued a 4.57 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB in 21.2 innings over 18 appearances in his prior two stints with Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis
Bowman cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and has decided to remain in the organization rather than testing out free agency. The righty reliever has put up a 4.57 ERA and 16:5 K:BB over 21.2 innings during his time with the Orioles in 2025.

The Orioles designated Bowman for assignment Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman was previously DFA'd in early May, but he was brought back onto the 40-man roster May 28 and made two appearances out of the bullpen, allowing one run while posting a 4:2 K:BB over 4.1 innings. He's now a roster casualty again with Baltimore activating recent trade acquisition Scott Blewett.

The Orioles selected Bowman's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman was booted from the 40-man roster May 8 after logging a 5.19 ERA in 16 appearances out of the bullpen to start the season. The 34-year-old will rejoin the bullpen in Baltimore, taking Yaramil Hiraldo's spot on the active roster.
