Colton Cowser on Baltimore bench Thursday afternoon

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser is not in the lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Hunter Brown and the Houston Astros.

What It Means:

Cowser started on Wednesday and went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. Austin Hays will move over to center field on Thursday and Ryan O'Hearn will join the outfield. Ryan Mountcastle will start on first base and Adley Rutschman will serve as Baltimore's designated hitter. James McCann will catch for Dean Kremer and bat ninth.

numberFire’s models project Hays ($2,700) for 8.6 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Orioles' implied total is 4.59 and the game total is 9.5. Brown has a 4.07 ERA and 3.91 xERA this season, with a 43.8% hard-hit rate (bottom 18th percentile of MLB), 26.5% strikeout rate, and 7.8% walk rate.
