Giants' Sam Huff: Remaining with San Francisco
Huff cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Huff was DFA'd on Wednesday, but he'll stick around the Giants organization as catching depth. The veteran backstop posted a .599 OPS with two homers and four RBI over 58 big-league plate appearances before being removed from the 40-man roster.

Giants' Sam Huff: Removed from 40-man roster
The Giants designated Huff for assignment Wednesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Huff has slashed only .208/.259/.340 as the Giants' backup catcher, which wasn't good enough for him to stick around with the big club, especially since he's known more for his bat than his defense. Andrew Knizner was called up from Triple-A Sacramento and will take over as the team's new No. 2 catcher.

Giants' Sam Huff: Set to open year with Giants
Huff is expected to operate as the Giants' backup catcher to begin the regular season, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Huff appears set to make his Giants debut in the team's opening series in Cincinnati after being claimed off waivers by San Francisco in January. Patrick Bailey is expected to be San Francisco's starting catcher while Huff will handle the top reserve role with Tom Murphy (back) on the shelf for the time being.

Giants' Sam Huff: Could make Opening Day roster
Huff could make the Opening Day roster as the backup catcher with Tom Murphy sidelined with an oblique injury, The Athletic reports. Huff went 1-for-2 with a walk and home run Saturday in his spring debut.
Huff will compete with Max Stassi for the backup role to Patrick Bailey if Murphy begins the season on the injured list. Huff's performance in the spring training opener can only help his chances.

Giants' Sam Huff: Claimed by San Francisco
The Giants claimed Huff off waivers from the Rangers on Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Huff has held his own during his rare opportunities in the majors with a .768 OPS and 10 home runs in 214 career plate appearances, although that's come with a 33.6 percent strikeout rate. He's out of options, so the Giants will need to carry him on their Opening Day roster in 2025 or put him back through waivers.

Rangers' Sam Huff: Booted off 40-man roster
The Rangers designated Huff for assignment Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Huff has put up a .768 OPS with 10 home runs in 214 career plate appearances in the majors, albeit with a 33.6 percent strikeout rate. He never really got an extended look at the major-league level, but Huff should draw some interest via trade or waivers, especially if a team believes he can be capable enough defensively at catcher.

Rangers' Sam Huff: Optioned to Triple-A
The Rangers optioned Huff to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.
Huff was up for a few days while Jonah Heim was on paternity leave and started Monday's game versus the Mets, going 0-for-3 with a walk. With Heim back on the active roster, Huff heads back to Round Rock.

Rangers' Sam Huff: Back in big leagues
The Rangers recalled Huff from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
Huff will return to the major-league roster, giving the Rangers some extra insurance at catcher while top backstop Jonah Heim (personal) is away from the team on paternity leave. Andrew Knizner is likely to serve as the Rangers' primary catcher while Heim is out.

Rangers' Sam Huff: Recalled from Triple-A
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
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
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
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
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 lone plate appearance
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.
