The Baltimore Orioles announced multiple roster changes on July 24, claiming catcher Yohel Pozo off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals. They designated outfielder Johnathan Rodriguez for assignment. Rodriguez had contributed to the team's recent win but has struggled with consistent playing time, appearing in just seven games this season. The moves come amid injuries to catchers Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo, prompting the Orioles to seek additional depth at the catcher position. Pozo has been assigned to Triple-A Norfolk after logging significant innings with the Cardinals last season.
