Cowser Slumps as Orioles Face Tough Road Trip
The fourth-place Orioles are looking to snap a two-game losing streak, but Colton Cowser has hit a major wall, batting just .095 over his last seven games. Despite this recent slump, he remains heavily involved as a key reserve across all three outfield positions, especially with teammate Dylan Beavers currently sidelined on the injured list.
While Cowser's blistering .282 average and seven homers over the last month showed what he is capable of, his underlying contact issues have resurfaced with seven strikeouts in his last 21 at-bats. Our projection of a .218 rest-of-season average suggests his recent cold spell is a return to his true talent level, rather than a brief fluke.
This week's six-game road trip is highly unfavorable, featuring tough road games against Seattle and Los Angeles. Cowser faces elite starting pitchers like Logan Gilbert, who boasts a tidy 3.62 ERA, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, carrying a stellar 2.52 ERA. With his bat running ice-cold and matchups this difficult, fantasy managers should sit him this week.
