"Orioles Activate Aaron Hicks from Injured List, Option Colton Cowser to Norfolk"

The Baltimore Orioles have activated outfielder Aaron Hicks from the injured list, while optioning prospect Colton Cowser to Triple-A Norfolk. Hicks returns after a three-week absence due to a hamstring strain, and it remains to be seen how he will perform. With Cedric Mullins back in good health, Hicks may serve as a fourth outfielder. Austin Hays' struggles post-All-Star break could open up playing time for Hicks, particularly against left-handed pitchers. Despite Cowser's underwhelming performance in the majors, he remains a highly regarded prospect and will have the opportunity to work on his game in the minors.

"Orioles' Dilemma: Promoting Colton Cowser and Managing Infield Pileup"

Colton Cowser, the Baltimore Orioles' second-ranked prospect, has been performing well at Triple-A but has yet to make his MLB debut due to various blockers. The Orioles have depth in the outfield, with players like Cedric Mullins, Austin Hays, and Anthony Santander handling most of the duties. Additionally, the signing of Aaron Hicks and the solid performance of Ryan McKenna have further limited Cowser's immediate playing time. While Cowser's talent suggests he could contribute to the team, the Orioles must consider whether a part-time role would be beneficial for his long-term development. The team's decision-making process remains unclear.

Cedric Mullins' Injury Puts Orioles in Tough Spot.

With Cedric Mullins's injury, the Baltimore Orioles have a decision to make on who will replace him. The most logical replacement would be outfielder Kyle Stowers, who is already on the 40-man roster. Infielder Joey Ortiz is another option, but his promotion would require players to fill in more often in the corner outfield spots. Colton Cowser and Jordan Westburg are two players who could shake up the roster, but they are not currently on the 40-man roster. The Orioles front office must decide whether to prioritize keeping the status quo or swinging for the fences on a Mullins replacement.
