"Huff's call to the big leagues means the O's will be playing a reliever short for at least today. Huff joins the roster as a third catcher alongside Samuel Basallo and Maverick Handley."
"Huff has solid framing grades in his limited major league work but has struggled with blocking balls in the dirt and controlling the run game."
"Huff entered the season with a lifetime .258/.338/.476 slash, 56 homers, 60 doubles, a pair of triples and a 10.2% walk rate in exactly 1200 Triple-A plate appearances."
The Orioles have called up catcher Sam Huff from Triple-A Norfolk, creating a roster spot by designating Jayvien Sandridge for assignment and optioning Nick Raquet. Huff joins the team as a third catcher due to Adley Rutschman's injury. Signed to a minor league contract in January, Huff has a .247 batting average in the majors but has struggled recently in Triple-A. He has solid framing skills but poor performance in blocking and controlling the run game, with a low caught-stealing rate and several passed balls.
