Orioles DFA Huff to make room for Rutschman’s return

Baltimore designated catcher Sam Huff for assignment to clear a roster spot for Adley Rutschman, who’s back from a brief IL stint. Huff appeared in three games, going 2-for-9 with a double and an RBI. With Rutschman (and prospect Samuel Basallo) handling catching duties, the Orioles have five days to trade Huff or place him on outright waivers; if he clears, he could be outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk, though he’d have the right to reject a minor-league assignment for free agency. Huff, 28, signed a January minor-league deal and has a career .246/.299/.427 line with 12 homers in 281 MLB plate appearances, but a 36.3% strikeout rate and defensive limitations.
