In the midst of his power explosion since the start of spring training, the Baltimore Orioles added outfielder Kyle Stowers to the major league roster Monday, the team announced.
A corresponding move has yet to be revealed, with the Orioles set to play host to the Toronto Blue Jays in the opener of a three-game series.
Stowers, 26, had brief appearances for Baltimore in each of the past two seasons and made a case to make the Opening Day roster when he hit seven home runs in 14 spring training games. He was instead assigned to Triple-A Norfolk where he has 11 more home runs in 36 games.
A second-round draft pick in 2019 out of Stanford, the San Diego-area native was just 2-for-30 in 14 games with the Orioles last season and did not hit a home run. He had three home runs with 11 RBIs in 34 games for Baltimore in 2022.
Stowers has hit as many as 27 home runs in a minor league season (2021). He hit 21 in 75 games in the minors last year.
