Triple-A Norfolk placed Hunt on its 7-day injured list Tuesday with a left groin strain, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Hunt will now be sidelined for at least a week while nursing the groin issue. The catcher has produced a .192 average with three home runs, six RBI and six runs scored over 52 at-bats in 13 contests with Norfolk since being traded to the Orioles organization from the Mariners on May 22.

The Mariners acquired Hunt from the Rays on Monday in exchange for catcher Tatem Levins, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
The two organizations are swapping minor-league catchers in the deal, though Hunt will get a spot on the Mariners' 40-man roster while Levins serves as depth in the lower levels of Tampa Bay's system. Hunt will turn 25 later this month and is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he slashed .256/.331/.484 with 12 home runs over 282 plate appearances between Triple-A Durham and Double-A Montgomery.
