Cowser has been out the last two games for Norfolk. Anybody know if he's hurt?

Quad tightness

Going on the IL..damn. That pushes him back.

Hopefully not too bad.  The MiL IL only requires the player to sit out 7 days, right?   Obviously it can be longer if the injury requires.   I’m just saying the decision to IL a minor leaguer for a minor  injury is easier.

Dang. Hope he comes back 100%.

Please tell me it wasn't because he stepped on a LEGO block.

That sucks, but it doesn't sound serious. With the way our outfield is hitting right now Cowser is not especially needed.

He'll probably be out for 2 months.  Someone put out an APB for Hudson Haskin.

(The above is just my speculation based on the Orioles treatment/reporting of injuries.)

A bad break, but let’s make sure the young fellow is healthy. The team is coming together without him. He’ll be up when he’s back and healthy.

From Google:

Most athletes recover very well after a quadriceps strain. The length of recovery depends on both the severity and the location of the tear in the muscle. A mild strain can take two weeks to heal, while a severe strain can take up to 2 months to heal.

I feel like we'd know if it was severe. So no news is maybe good news?

How would we know? The Orioles treat any type of injury updates as if they're protecting the nuclear launch codes.

If it was severe they would have put him on the IL immediately.  I think they originally thought it might be a few days and then decided to play it safe.   I don’t think it was even described as a strain.

Very similar to the Ravens
