The Orioles activated Adley Rutschman from the 7-day concussion IL and Dylan Beavers from the 10-day IL, designated catcher Sam Huff for assignment, and optioned Jeremiah Jackson to Triple-A. With Rutschman back, Baltimore uses a three-catcher setup, as Basallo started behind the plate in his absence; both Rutschman and Basallo sit as solid offensive contributors (wRC+ ~+13% above league average) this season.
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.
Texas Rangers activate All-Star catcher Jonah Heim from the injured list, while optioning catcher Sam Huff to Triple-A Round Rock. Heim had been sidelined since July 26 due to an injury but has recovered and returned to face live pitching. Heim, a first-time All-Star, has a batting average of .280 with 14 home runs and 70 RBIs this season. Huff, on the other hand, has struggled at the plate, hitting .237 with one home run and three RBIs in 16 games with the Rangers.
The Texas Rangers have made four roster moves, including optioning top pitching prospect Owen White to Double-A after his Major League debut. They also activated Joe Barlow from the injured list, called up catcher Sam Huff from Triple-A, and designated catcher Sandy Leon for assignment. Huff will join Jonah Heim as the Rangers' catchers, while Barlow returns after being sidelined with kidney stones. Leon, known for his defense, could attract interest on the DFA wire.
The Texas Rangers have activated relief pitcher Joe Barlow and recalled catcher Sam Huff, while optioning pitcher Owen White to AA Frisco and designating catcher Sandy Leon for assignment. The move opens up a 40 man roster spot for future use.
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager has been activated from the injured list after missing 31 games due to a left hamstring strain. Seager was back in the lineup hitting second, but was the designated hitter instead of playing shortstop in his first game back. Catcher Sam Huff was optioned back to Triple-A Round Rock to make room on the 26-man roster.
