Baltimore Orioles add reliever Cam Sanders and weigh trade options for catcher Adley Rutschman

The Baltimore Orioles acquired right‑hander Cam Sanders from the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash considerations, assigning him to Triple‑A Norfolk. The move also cleared a spot on the 40‑man roster by placing left‑hander Keegan Akin on the 60‑day injured list.

Ahead of the trade deadline, the Orioles are reported to be evaluating a possible deal involving All‑Star catcher Adley Rutschman to address ongoing bullpen instability and situational hitting struggles. The team, currently trailing in the AL East and just two games shy of a Wild Card spot, hopes a trade could bolster its roster after an uneven season.
