The Baltimore Orioles activated catcher Adley Rutschman from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday night’s game against the host Kansas City Royals.
The two-time All-Star has been sidelined with a left ankle injury. He sustained the injury on April 10 when running out a double during a three-hit outing in a 6-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants.
Baltimore designated catcher Sam Huff from assignment.
Rutschman is batting .294 with six doubles and three RBIs in 10 games this season.
Rutschman, 28, was an American League All-Star in 2023 and 2024 before being limited to 90 games last season due to injuries, including two separate oblique injuries. He batted just .220 with nine homers and 29 RBIs.
The No. 1 overall pick in 2019, Rutschman has a .255 career average with 61 homers and 233 RBIs in 515 games with Baltimore.
Huff, 28, went 2-for-9 (.222) with one RBI in three games for the Orioles. He previously had big-league stint with the Texas Rangers (2020, 2022-24) and San Francisco Giants (2025).
