Orioles' Zac Lowther: Optioned to Triple-A

Lowther was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Lowther struggled this spring, surrendering four runs on five hits and five walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings. The 25-year-old will begin the season with Triple-A Norfolk, but considering the state of the Orioles' roster, he will likely get a shot with the big-league club at some point this summer. He'll look to improve upon the 6.67 ERA and 1.65 WHIP that he compiled with the Orioles in 2021.
