Cowser is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.
Cowser's grip on a strong-side platoon role in the Baltimore outfield may be starting to slip. He'll be on the bench for the second time in the Orioles' last three matchups with right-handed pitchers, after mustering just three hits in 33 at-bats while striking out at a 31.7 percent clip so far in July. Leody Taveras will get the nod in center field over Cowser in the series opener in Detroit.
