In a recent update, the Baltimore Orioles have placed Gary Sánchez on the 10-day injured list due to a right wrist inflammation, just before their 4-3 victory over the New York Yankees. In his absence, rookie Maverick Handley has been called up from Triple-A Norfolk, where he showcased impressive numbers with a .346 average and a .991 OPS this season.

Sánchez's current struggles are evident, presenting a mere .100 batting average over 35 plate appearances this season, a stark contrast to his once-promising career. Initially making waves in 2016, he hit 20 home runs in just 53 games, earning a second-place finish in the AL Rookie of the Year voting. However, injuries and defensive shortcomings have since marred his trajectory, resulting in a decline that has relegated him to a backup role.

Additionally, the Orioles are dealing with the loss of All-Star third baseman Jordan Westburg, who has also been placed on the IL due to a hamstring strain, further complicating the team's roster as they navigate the season.
