Orioles Add Depth Catcher Yohel Pozo via Waiver Claim
Baltimore claimed Pozo from St. Louis and sent him to Triple-A Norfolk as the team deals with catching depth issues.
The Orioles claimed catcher Yohel Pozo off waivers from the Cardinals and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk. Pozo, 29, logged over 300 innings behind the plate for St. Louis last season and is regarded as a solid defender. His MLB offense has been weak, posting a .233/.259/.358 line with the Cardinals. Baltimore is addressing a catching depth crunch following recent injuries to their roster.
