Overview
- Gary Sánchez was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right knee after exiting Saturday’s game against the Braves.
- The move leaves the Orioles with four catchers sidelined, including Adley Rutschman, Maverick Handley and Chadwick Tromp.
- Baltimore acquired Alex Jackson from the Yankees and selected catcher Jacob Stallings to bolster its depleted position.
- David Bañuelos has joined the club as a taxi-squad option while prospect Samuel Basallo remains in Triple-A Norfolk.
- Sánchez had been hitting .304 with a .953 OPS since his June 14 return, and his absence threatens to weaken the Orioles’ offense.
