With both of the injured Orioles outfielders now activated from the injured list, time has run out on the MLB roster for now for prospect Colton Cowser. The team activated Aaron Hicks on Monday afternoon before the start of the series against the Padres. This was signaled over the weekend, with the expectation that Hicks would have a short rehab stint and then return to the team. That’s just what has happened.
Hicks, 33, is back in action after an absence of about three weeks. He left a game on July 24 after making a nice catch that also caused him to suffer a hamstring strain.
