The Orioles will go with 14 position players and 12 pitchers for today’s series finale against the Diamondbacks.

Catcher Sam Huff had his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles optioned left-handed reliever Nick Raquet and designated lefty Jayvien Sandridge for assignment.

Huff was on the taxi squad. Raquet made his second Orioles appearance last night.

The new arrangement gives the Orioles three catchers. Samuel Basallo has caught four days in a row. And Grant Wolfram is the only left-handed reliever.

“It’s two-fold,” said manager Craig Albernaz. “One, I think with Raquet, it was, he did a fine job when he was up here, but he was coming straight off the couch, be on the DFA train. It was great to get him some work up here, but also, get down to Triple-A and get his bearings and work on some things, so when he comes back up here, he’s ready to go.

“And obviously, with Adley (Rutschman) down, we want to go with other catchers, and Basallo has been grinding for us behind the plate. Doing a great job, four in a row. The ability to add Huff, he has big league experience, the power’s real. And he did a great job this spring training defensively with his maturation process and development. But also, the rapport he had with the pitchers and diving with our pitching coaches. So that’s kind of the reason why we made the move.”

It’s going to be temporary.

“Not long, not long,” Albernaz said. “I foresee a move coming in the next few days.”

The Orioles are facing a left-handed starter, Eduardo Rodríguez, for the first time in 18 games.

Huff is catching, Blaze Alexander is in center field, Weston Wilson is in left field and Johnathan Rodríguez is in right. Taylor Ward is the designated hitter.

That’s different.

Jeremiah Jackson’s hot bat stays in the lineup. He’s at second base again, with Coby Mayo at third.

Basallo has hit the two longest home runs for the Orioles this season – 437 and 431 feet.

Ward has a 16-game on-base streak.

Kyle Bradish has posted a 5.27 ERA and 1.683 WHIP in three starts.

The Orioles are 9-8 and tied for second place with the Yankees, a half-game behind the Rays. They fly to Cleveland after today’s game.

The Orioles have drawn at least four walks in 12 games this season and seven in a row, their longest streak since May 1999 (11).

Rodríguez has allowed one earned run in 18 innings this season. He’s faced the Orioles 25 times in his career, including 23 starts, and gone 14-5 with a 2.74 ERA in 138 innings.
