Orioles’ Maverick Handley Exits After Shocking Collision with Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm Jr.—What Happened Next Will Surprise You
Now, Handley, a 27-year-old rookie who stepped into the majors this very April, got up slowly — signaling trouble — and was pulled from the game after a quick huddle with Mansolino and head athletic trainer Scott Barringer. The Orioles then turned to former Yankees star Gary Sánchez for the backup catching duties. It’s not exactly ideal timing for Baltimore, especially since their star catcher Adley Rutschman is already sidelined with a strained left oblique — marking the first injury-list stint of his MLB career. Reminds me of the safety ripple effect after Buster Posey’s nightmare leg injury back in 2011 — the one that pushed MLB to crack down on catchers blocking the plate without the ball, aiming to reduce these exact pileups. This incident, honestly, feels like a flashback to those intense moments we hoped had faded away.
