Lowther was released by the Orioles on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowther had been on an injury rehab assignment but has not made an appearance this season. The 27-year-old posted a 6.94 ERA over six starts and five relief appearances with the Orioles from 2021-22.

The Orioles outrighted Lowther to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowther remains in the organization after he went unclaimed off waivers when the Orioles designated him for assignment last week. The 26-year-old lefty tossed 5.1 innings of long relief in his lone appearance with Baltimore on May 31 before he was optioned back to Norfolk and later dropped from the 40-man roster.

The Orioles designated Lowther for assignment Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Jonathan Arauz, whom the Orioles claimed off waivers from the Red Sox on Wednesday. Lowther was optioned to Norfolk on June 1, one day after he gave up six runs (five earned) across 5.1 innings of long relief in his lone appearance of the season with the big club.

The Orioles optioned Lowther to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lowther will return to the minors one day after he served as the primary pitcher out of the bullpen in Baltimore's 10-0 loss to Seattle. Since he was unlikely to be available for at least a few days after covering 5.1 innings (and giving up six runs) in relief, the Orioles opted to swap Lowther off the active roster for a fresh bullpen arm in Denyi Reyes, who was called up from Norfolk in a corresponding move. Lowther should slot back into the rotation once he rejoins the Triple-A club.

Lowther was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lowther made his MLB debut last season, struggling to a 6.67 ERA in 29.2 innings as a swingman. He owns an awful 8.26 ERA through 28.1 frames for Norfolk this season, but he could be needed to provide length behind opening pitcher Bryan Baker in Tuesday's game against the Mariners in what is shaping up to be a bullpen day for the Orioles. Cody Sedlock was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Lowther was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowther struggled this spring, surrendering four runs on five hits and five walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings. The 25-year-old will begin the season with Triple-A Norfolk, but considering the state of the Orioles' roster, he will likely get a shot with the big-league club at some point this summer. He'll look to improve upon the 6.67 ERA and 1.65 WHIP that he compiled with the Orioles in 2021.

Lowther (1-3) allowed two runs (one earned) on eight hits and struck out four in five innings, taking the loss versus Boston on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't a bad final start of the year for Lowther, but Baltimore's offense produced just four hits and two walks in the contest. The southpaw was better to finish the season with just five runs (four earned) allowed in his final 13.1 innings across three starts. He ended the season with a 6.67 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 30:13 K:BB in 29.2 innings. Lowther will likely be considered for a spot in the rotation heading into 2022.

Lowther (1-2) got the win in Thursday's 3-0 victory over Texas, allowing three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in five scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Facing the scuffling Rangers, Lowther parlayed five solid innings into his first Major-League win. While he required 94 pitches to navigate the five frames, an impressive seven strikeouts and minimal traffic on the bases highlighted the best outing of the 25-year-old rookie's short career. He's currently scheduled to take the hill Wednesday against Boston in what might be his last appearance of the season.

Lowther yielded three runs on five hits and two walks over 3.1 innings in a no-decision Saturday against Boston. He also struck out a pair.

EDGE Analysis

Lowther gave up all three runs in the opening inning, giving up an RBI single to Rafael Devers and a two-run double to Bobby Dalbec. Lowther was able put up zeroes in each of the next two innings but was pulled in the fourth after giving up back-to-back walks with one out. Lowther, who has been knocked around for 10 runs in just 5.1 innings over his last two outings, is tentatively lined up to face Texas at home in his next scheduled start.

Lowther (0-2) allowed seven runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four in two-plus innings, taking the loss Sunday versus Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

The Toronto offense spared no expense in what ended up being a 22-7 game. Lowther's biggest mistakes resulted in a grand slam by Lourdes Gurriel and a solo home run by Vladimir Guerrero. The southpaw also put Gurriel aboard with a walk in the third inning before Spenser Watkins took over on the mound. Lowther owns a 9.92 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across his first 16.1 big-league innings. Despite the struggles, he could remain in the rotation since Baltimore has nothing but pride to play for at this point in the season. He lines up for a road start in Boston next weekend.
