The Baltimore Orioles have activated catcher Gary Sánchez from the IL, and in a corresponding move, optioned former Stanford Cardinal Maverick Handley to Triple-A Norfolk. Sànchez was placed on the 10-day IL back on April 28 with right wrist inflammation. In 2023, he was a solid framer (64th percentile) and ranked in the 86th percentile in pop time, but over the past year plus he’s been in the middle of the pack. As for Maverick Handley, the former sixth round pick in 2019 made his MLB debut on April 29 at home against the New York Yankees, and earned his first big-league hit about a week later playing in Minnesota against the Twins.
