Bowman elected free agency Monday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The 33-year-old pitched for four different teams at the major-league level in 2024, collecting a 4.40 ERA and 24:13 K:BB over 30.2 frames.

Bowman has allowed nine runs with a 10:7 K:BB over 15 innings in the majors this season, covering stints with the Twins, Diamondbacks and Mariners.
