Baltimore Orioles selected catcher David Bañuelos from Triple-A Norfolk to replace Bryan Baker, traded to the Rays. Bañuelos, 28, previously had one major league appearance. He joins Jacob Stallings and Alex Jackson as catchers amid injuries. His performance in 2025 has been poor, with a batting line of .088/.188/.193 in 64 plate appearances. Despite a more respectable .225/.360/.352 line in 22 Triple-A games last year, offense is not his strength. Bañuelos is known as a glove-first catcher and has primarily been in the Twins system before joining the Orioles.
Catcher David Bañuelos has been selected from Triple-A Norfolk to fill the roster spot vacated by Bryan Baker's trade to the Rays.
Bañuelos, who has only one major league at-bat in his career, might not get another chance to play as this selection seems temporary.
In 2025, Bañuelos has had a rough season at Norfolk, achieving a batting line of .088/.188/.193 in 64 plate appearances.
Known for his defensive skills, Bañuelos has spent most of his career in the Twins system before signing with the Orioles.
