The Baltimore Orioles have claimed catcher Yohel Pozo off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals. Pozo, who has spent parts of three seasons in the majors, was brought in to provide depth as the Orioles face injuries to Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo. He appeared in 18 games this season for the Cardinals, collecting eight hits and five RBIs. Following the acquisition, the Orioles optioned Pozo to Triple-A Norfolk. This move comes as they look for insurance behind the plate amid current injury issues.
