Orioles Acquire Alex Jackson From Yankees After Gary Sánchez Becomes Their 4th Catcher on IL
- On July 6, 2025, the Baltimore Orioles added Alex Jackson, a catcher acquired from the New York Yankees, to their major league roster in Baltimore.
- The Orioles made the acquisition because starting catcher Gary Sánchez suffered a right knee sprain during the July 5 game and was placed on the 60-day injured list.
- The team faces a catching shortage with Sánchez, Adley Rutschman, Chadwick Tromp, and others all on the injured list, while Jackson provides needed depth behind starter Jacob Stallings.
- Jackson, 29, was a 2014 sixth overall pick who has played 124 major league games with a career.132 batting average but shows solid defense and hit.226 with 10 home runs in Triple-A this season.
- Jackson’s addition allows the Orioles to mitigate catching depth concerns amid injuries and roster moves, while the team cautiously delays promoting prospect Samuel Basallo this season.
