The Orioles announced today that they have selected the contract of catcher . Fellow catcher has been placed on the seven-day concu sion injured list. Infielder has been transferred to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man roster spot. Handleys injury occurred during a scary incident in yesterdays game against the Yankees, as seen in . With on second base in the second inning, hit a single to left field. With Chisholm trying to score, came up throwing Mike Hoffman Jersey to the plate but his throw was up the third base line. Handley ran to field the ball and collided with Chisholm, dropping the ball and getting knocked to the ground. came into the game to replace him. Handley had just been recalled to the majors the day prior, with landing on the IL due to a left oblique strain. Its unclear how long the Os expect Handley to be out of action but it seems like the club will have to go at least a week with both Rutschman and Handley on the shelf. That has led to Tromp retaking a spot on the roster to share the catching duties with Snchez. Tromp also spent a few days on the roster at the end of May. At that time, Snchez was on the IL due to wrist inflammation and Rutschman had a concu sion scare of his own. Rutschman was able to return to catching a few days later, which got Tromp bumped off the roster, though he returned to the Os on a fresh minor league deal. Tromp has generally been a solid defender behind the plate, with decent offense in the minors but not so much in the majors. From the start of 2022 to the present, he has a .255/.336/.422 line and 100 wRC+ at the Triple-A level. His time in the majors has led to a .219/.229/.375 line and 56 wRC+, though in 166 plate appearances scattered over six different seasons. He is out of options, which led Atlanta to cut him earlier this year. That led Tromp to the Os, though hes only been able to get brief roster time in emergencies. As for Mountcastle, he landed on the 10-day IL at the end of May due to a right hamstring strain. Shortly thereafter, it was reported that he would mi s eight to twelve weeks. His 60-day count is retroactive to his initial IL placement, so he can be reinstated at the end of July, though hes going to be on the shelf past then.
