Samuel Basallo Sits Out on Tuesday With Wrist Pain
Baltimore Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo (wrist) was on the bench for a second straight day on Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners at Camden Yards due to wrist pain, according to Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun. Adley Rutschman also got a second straight day off, and it's unclear if he's dealing with an injury. With both Basallo and Rutschman out for Game 2 of the series, Sam Huff made the start behind the dish and was hitting in the nine-hole for the O's against Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert. The 21-year-old Basallo also missed some time recently with an abdominal injury, so he's been a bit banged up lately. He was diagnosed with a bony growth on his left wrist on Monday, and it's something that could be an issue for him going forward. The Dominican left-handed-hitting catcher came into Tuesday's action batting .266/.330/.480 with an .810 OPS, nine home runs, 26 RBI, and 25 runs scored in his 177 at-bats in 2026 in his first full year in the majors. Basallo hasn't been as good in his last 18 games since May 19, going 11-for-47 (.234) with three homers, two doubles, nine RBI, seven runs, six walks, and 14 strikeouts, and it could be because of his recurring wrist issue. Stay tuned for more information.
