Maverick Handley

17 August 2025

Activated and optioned

The Orioles activated Handley (wrist) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Analysis

The 27-year-old will stick around with Norfolk after he recently wrapped up a five-game rehab assignment with the affiliate. Initially placed on the 7-day injured list June 23 due to a concussion, Handley was later shifted to the 10-day IL on July 23 due to a sprained right wrist. Though Handley is healthy again, the Orioles didn't have a spot available for him on the active roster with three other catchers already on hand (Adley Rutschman, Samuel Basallo and Alex Jackson).
