The freshness and boundless optimism of a new season haven’t kept another series of injuries from striking the Orioles. They can run and dive, but they can’t hide. The latest blow arrived this morning with outfielder Colton Cowser going on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left thumb. Manager Brandon Hyde expects Cowser to miss a minimu
