The Baltimore Orioles selected the contract of catcher Sam Huff from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, marking his third call-up of the 2026 season, per MASN Sports. To clear a roster spot, the club optioned right-hander Cam Sanders to Norfolk in a corresponding move.
Huff's path back to Baltimore has been an unusual one — he has elected free agency each time the Orioles designated him for assignment this year, only to re-sign on a minor-league deal and work his way back to the majors. His latest stint began after re-signing with the organization per The Baltimore Banner, with the opt-out-and-re-sign cycle allowing him to be recalled more quickly than a standard Minor League contract would typically permit. Ryan Helsley's transfer to the 60-day injured list also opened a 40-man roster spot to facilitate the move.
