The Baltimore Orioles have selected right-hander Matt Bowman's contract following Tyler Wells' placement on the 60-day injured list due to surgery recovery. Bowman had a strong performance during the Grapefruit League with a 2.70 ERA and could secure a place on the Opening Day roster. With a history in MLB and previous injuries, his recent performance may influence his selection, especially since he lacks minor league options. Should he make the roster, Bowman is set for a $1.1MM salary plus incentives.
Bowman made a solid showing in the Grapefruit League by posting a 2.70 ERA in 6 2/3 innings across six appearances, so it would appear as though he will likely end up breaking camp.
Bowman is a veteran of six MLB seasons, though he didn't play at all during the 2020-22 seasons while recovering from a Tommy John surgery and other injuries.
The Orioles outrighted Bowman after the season and he elected free agency, only to re-up with the team on another minor league contract in December.
For making the big league roster, Bowman would receive a $1.1MM salary, as well as another $400K in available incentives.
