On bench versus righty Stowers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact The lefty-hitting Stowers will be on the bench for the second time during the four-game series in Toronto, this time sitting against a right-hander (Kevin Gausman) after he was out of the lineup versus a lefty (Yusei Kikuchi) on Tuesday. Ryan McKenna will draw the start in the corner outfield in place of Stowers, who could return to Triple-A Norfolk this weekend with Anthony Santander (personal) due back from the restricted list and Trey Mancini (hand) also expected to be ready to go Friday.

Sits versus lefty Stowers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Impact Stowers is expected to be a fixture in the lineup against right-handed pitching while Anthony Santander (personal) remains on the restricted list for Baltimore's series in Toronto, but the lefty-hitting rookie will take a seat Tuesday with southpaw Yusei Kikuchi on the hill for Toronto. Ryan McKenna will pick up a start in the outfield in place of Stowers, who went 1-for-3 with an RBI double in his MLB debut in Monday's 11-1 loss.

RBI double in debut Stowers went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a hit by pitch in Monday's 11-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
Impact While the result in his major-league debut was forgettable, Stowers was able to account for the Orioles' lone run when he knocked in fellow top prospect Adley Rutschman with a seventh-inning double. That's a sight O's fans will likely hope turns into a regularity in the near future, providing a glimpse of some of the team's best young players beginning to scratch the surface in the majors. Stowers will likely stay with the big club while Anthony Santander is on the restricted list for this four-game series in Toronto. There should be room in the lineup for Stowers to start against right-handed pitchers -- the Blue Jays are projected to have southpaw Yusei Kikuchi on the mound Tuesday, but righties Jose Berrios and Kevin Gausman are set to follow to close out the series.

Making MLB debut Monday The Orioles selected Stowers' contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday. He'll start in left field and bat eighth in the Orioles' series opener in Toronto.
Impact Stowers was summoned from the taxi squad as a replacement for Anthony Santander, who landed on the restricted list and presumably isn't eligible to play in the four-game series in Toronto due to his vaccination status. Assuming Santander is ready to play when the Orioles return to Baltimore this weekend for a three-game set against the Rays, Stowers will likely be sent back to the minors since an everyday role won't be available for him at the big-league level. One of the Orioles' top upper-level prospects, the 24-year-old Stowers was slashing .253/.356/.545 with 12 home runs and three stolen bases over his 209 plate appearances at Norfolk this season.
