Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser, the American League Rookie of the Year runner-up in 2024, has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a broken left thumb, the team announced Monday.

Cowser, 25, sustained the injury sliding back into first base during Sunday’s 3-1 loss at Toronto.

The Orioles recalled outfielder Dylan Carlson from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding transaction.

Cowser, the No. 5 overall draft pick in 2021, was 2-for-16 with one homer, one RBI and six strikeouts in the season-opening four-game series against the Blue Jays.
