The Orioles outrighted Sandridge to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday. Sandridge will stick around in the Baltimore organization after going unclaimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment a few days earlier. The lefty reliever had covered 1.2 scoreless innings over two appearances for Norfolk this season before losing his spot on the Orioles' 40-man roster.
The Orioles designated Sandridge for assignment Wednesday. His spot on the 40-man roster will be absorbed by Sam Huff, who has been added as a third catcher to Baltimore's active roster. It's the third time since January that Sandridge has been designated for assignment. He's tossed 1.2 scoreless frames with a 2:3 K:BB at Triple-A Norfolk.
The Orioles acquired Sandridge from the Angels on Sunday in exchange for cash and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. Sandridge will reclaim a 40-man roster spot upon joining his new organization but is still set to begin the 2026 season in Triple-A, where he put up a 4.55 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 31.2 innings last year. He'll serve as organizational bullpen depth for the O's.
