History

Historical Context

Mid-season catcher injuries have repeatedly reshaped roster plans. In 2008 the Yankees sent Jorge Posada to the disabled list after shoulder surgery, and he still delivered 22 home runs during the 2009 World-Series-winning season. In 2026 the Orioles placed catcher Adley Rutschman on the injured list, echoing the earlier disruption and prompting Chadwick Tromp’s promotion.
