Player Outlook
While lauded for his power, Sam Huff has been unable to carve out a consistent role at the major-league level. He now finds himself third on the organizational depth chart after the Rangers brought in Andrew Knizner on a one-year deal to back up Jonah Heim. It's uncertain whether Huff will begin the 2024 season in the majors or back at Triple-A Round Rock; manager Bruce Bochy left open the possibility of the team carrying three catchers on Opening Day. Impressively, Huff reached 20 home runs in fewer than 90 total games between Triple-A and the big leagues last season, Now 26, and with one minor-league option remaining, Huff will need to make the most of his opportunities if he is to find his way into meaningful at-bats.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Sent back to minors

    Rotowire
    The Rangers optioned Huff to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday. Huff was up for a handful of days and did not receive a plate appearance. He'll go back to getting regular at-bats at Round Rock.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Recalled from Triple-A

    Rotowire
    The Rangers recalled Huff from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday. With Jonah Heim (bereavement) away from the team, Huff will join the big-league roster to give the Rangers security behind the dish. The 26-year-old is slashing .321/.415/.607 across 65 plate appearances in the minors and will likely return to Round Rock once Heim returns.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Misses out on Opening Day roster

    Rotowire
    The Rangers optioned Huff to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports. Earlier in spring training, Rangers manager Bruce Bochy teased the idea of keeping a third catcher on the Opening Day roster behind Jonah Heim and Andrew Knizner, but Huff apparently won't be under consideration for a spot now that he's been an early cut in camp. Even though he's nominally a catcher, Huff provides more value with the bat than he does with his defense, so he likely didn't help his cause by getting off to a 1-for-16 start at the dish in Cactus League play.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Texas could carry three catchers

    Rotowire
    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that the club is considering carrying three catchers on the Opening Day roster, putting Huff in contention for a spot, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports. Jonah Heim will start and Andrew Knizner would appear to be the heavy favorite to back him up, but Huff also looks to be in the mix. Working in Huff's favor is that he can also play first base and could bring enough thump offensively to draw the occasional start at designated hitter. Huff does have an option year remaining, so Texas could still hang on to him even if he's not on the Opening Day roster.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Top backup on 40-man

    Rotowire
    Huff is one of two catchers on the Rangers' 40-man roster, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. Texas is short on catchers after Mitch Garver bolted for Seattle and Austin Hedges left for Cleveland. That leaves Jonah Heim as the starter with Huff the primary backup six weeks before spring training. Huff, who turns 26 next week, caught just three games in the majors and 58 at Triple-A Round Rock last season. The bat might play in the big leagues, but he lacks significant experience behind the dish. The Rangers will likely explore the backup catching market leading up to the spring training.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Bumped to Triple-A

    Rotowire
    Huff was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday. Huff saw limited playing time since being recalled Sept. 1, securing two hits in five at-bats while recording two home runs, three RBI and two runs scored in five games. He was optioned to make room for the return of Adolis Garcia (knee) and Josh Jung (thumb) from the injured list. Jonathan Ornelas was also optioned in the flurry of transactions.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Homers in loss

    Rotowire
    Huff went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Friday's 12-3 loss to the Guardians. Huff entered the blowout loss late and homered as part of the Rangers' three-run ninth inning. He's made just five plate appearances since being recalled for the month of September. Both of his hits during this latest stint in the majors have been home runs.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Homers in lone plate appearance

    Rotowire
    Huff went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run Saturday in an extra-inning loss to the Twins. After being recalled from Triple-A on Friday, Huff got the start at DH on Saturday. He slugged a 430-foot, two-run home run in the second frame in his first major-league plate appearance since Aug. 9 but was taken out in favor of lefty pinch hitter J.P. Martinez two innings later. Both of Huff's long balls this season have come against right-handed hurlers, but he's gone a respectable 5-for-19 with two doubles and two RBI (albeit with nine punchouts) against southpaws.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Recalled from Triple-A

    Rotowire
    Texas recalled Huff from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday. Huff will give the Rangers a fourth option at catcher as rosters expand from 26 to 28. The 25-year-old former top prospect has slashed .237/.275/.368 in 40 plate appearances this season at the major-league level.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Three hits in win

    Rotowire
    Huff started at catcher and went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 11-1 win over the White Sox. Huff recorded hits in his first three plate appearances in what was his best game of the season. He's scuffled in multiple short stints in the majors this season, most recently going 1-for-11 over five games during his third tour. With Jonah Heim (wrist) landing on the injured list, Huff and Mitch Garver are splitting the catching chores. The Rangers have since added defensive specialist Austin Hedges, but according to Justice delos Santos and Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, the Garver/Huff duo will continue to get the bulk of playing time behind the plate, while Hedges gives manager Bruce Bochy roster and lineup flexibility until Heim returns.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Homers off bench Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Huff went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 13-5 win over the Astros. Huff entered the game as a pinch hitter for Jonah Heim (wrist), who left in the fifth inning. Huff's solo shot came in his first at-bat, which was also his first plate appearance since rejoining the big-league roster Saturday. The 25-year-old could have a short-term path to playing time if Heim's injury is anything more than a day-to-day concern, but Huff is unlikely to work his way into a starting role with Mitch Garver on the roster as well.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Called up Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Huff was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday. Huff will join the big-league roster for the first time this season, replacing Travis Jankowski (hamstring) on the active roster after Jankowski was placed on the 10-day injured list. Huff has produced a .267 average with five homers, 20 RBI and 11 runs scored over 90 at-bats in 22 games with Round Rock this season. The 25-year-old will likely operate as bench bat for Texas while making an occasional start behind the plate.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Returns to action Monday

    Rotowire
    Huff (shoulder) caught two innings and drew a walk in his lone plate appearance in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Rockies in Cactus League play. Huff returned to action for the first time since last Wednesday, when he sustained a right shoulder injury in a game against the Padres. The Rangers never expressed much concern about the condition of Huff's shoulder, and his ability to check back in behind the plate less than a week later suggests he'll be ready to go for the start of the regular season.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Unconcerned about injury

    Rotowire
    Huff said Thursday that the right shoulder injury which forced him to exit Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Padres felt more like a cramp, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. Huff's removal from the contest was initially attributed to right shoulder tightness, but if the injury is more in the vein of a cramp, he'll likely be ready to play in a few days. The 25-year-old is projected to begin the season in the minors unless the Rangers wind up carrying three catchers on the Opening Day roster.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Leaves with shoulder tightness

    Rotowire
    Huff left Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Padres with right shoulder tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. Huff played just one inning before giving way to Cody Freeman in the split-squad contest. The backstop will be re-evaluated on Thursday. Huff has flashed tremendous power in the minors and some brief samples in the majors, but has battled injuries over the past two-plus seasons. Further clarity on his status going forward should be available in the coming days.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Knocks fourth homer

    Rotowire
    Huff went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 10-9 extra-innings loss to the Mariners. Huff has homered twice in his last three games, and he's up to four long balls on the year. The 24-year-old has gone 8-for-35 (.229 average) since he rejoined the Rangers on Sept. 5. He's slashing .250/.311/.384 with 10 RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base through 122 plate appearances this season.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Slugs homer in loss

    Rotowire
    Huff started at catcher and went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Cleveland. Huff was the catcher du jour after sitting the previous two games. Jonah Heim and Kevin Plawecki made starts before Huff returned to the lineup. Since being called up in September, Huff is batting .207 (6-for-29) with two homers, one double, two walks, four RBI and two runs scored while striking out 32.3 percent of the time.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Doubles in win

    Rotowire
    Huff went 1-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Athletics. Huff is in a full-on job share with the switch-hitting Jonah Heim behind the plate, though it isn't based on the handedness of the opposing starter. Huff's started five of the last eight games since being called up. He has just three hits over 18 at-bats, but Heim has been fighting it at the plate since mid-August.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Makes second straight start

    Rotowire
    Huff went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Houston. Huff started a second consecutive game at catcher, as primary backstop Jonah Heim has slumped the last month. After allowing five stolen bases in Tuesday's win over the Astros, Huff was tested just once Wednesday and threw out Christian Vazquez. For the season, Huff has caught just two of 22 attempted stealers.

  • Rangers' Sam Huff: Sent to Triple-A

    Rotowire
    The Rangers optioned Huff to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday. Huff hadn't been receiving much playing time of late as one of three catchers on the active roster and as a reserve first baseman/designated hitter, so the Rangers will send him back to Triple-A to see regular at-bats. Utility man Nick Solak was summoned from Round Rock to replace Huff on the active roster.
