Cowser is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. On the bench for the eighth time in nine games, Cowser appears to have faded into a part-time role with the recent return of Tyler O'Neill having created a logjam in the outfield. Cowser's reduction in playing time comes while he's struck out in 31.4 percent of his plate appearances en route to producing a porous .183/.275./217 slash line for the season.

Colton Cowser: Breaking News
On bench vs. lefty
Cowser is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. Baltimore didn't face a left-handed starter in its first 17 games of the season but is now doing so for the third time in the past five contests. Cowser has found himself on the bench for all three of those contests, indicating that he's filling the large side of an outfield platoon.
Idle against southpaw
Cowser is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. With the Orioles facing a left-handed starter (Eduardo Rodriguez) for the first time this season, manager Craig Albernaz will counter the Diamondbacks with a lineup featuring eight right-handed bats. Along with Cowser, fellow left-handed hitters Dylan Beavers and Samuel Basallo will hit the bench for the series finale, paving the way for Sam Huff, Johnathan Rodriguez and Weston Wilson to make their first starts with the Orioles.
