Colton Cowser, the Baltimore Orioles outfielder, has been placed on the injured list due to a left thumb fracture sustained during a recent game against Toronto. His recovery is expected to take six to eight weeks, which means he may not return until late May. This injury compounds the team's difficulties as they are also missing All-Star shortstop Gunnar Henderson, who is on a rehab assignment following an oblique injury. The Orioles are working through a tough start to the season, recalling Dylan Carlson to take Cowser's roster spot as they maintain their competitive spirit.
