Joseph was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. He's starting behind the dish and hitting eighth against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Joseph will take the active roster spot of Chance Sisco (illness), who was surprisingly sent to the minors following Sunday's win over the Marlins. The backstop figures to split time behind the dish with Austin Wynns, though he could be headed back to the minors once Sisco is healthy enough to return. Joseph hit just .182/.203/.325 across 24 games with the Orioles earlier in the year.

The Orioles plan to recall Joseph from Triple-A Norfolk prior to Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Joseph will assume the active roster spot of fellow backstop Chance Sisco (illness), who was surprisingly optioned to Norfolk following the Orioles' 10-4 victory over the Marlins on Sunday. Manager Buck Showalter indicated that the illness was the "principal" factor behind Sisco's demotion, so Joseph could end up heading back to Norfolk once Sisco is deemed fully healthy. While he's up with the big club, Joseph will likely share time behind the plate with Austin Wynns.

Joseph was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
In a somewhat surprising move, the 31-year-old veteran catcher will head down to the minors in favor of Andrew Susac, who was called up in a corresponding transaction. But Joseph has been struggling at the plate all season, hitting just .182/.203/.325 with three RBI and 24 strikeouts in 24 games. This will allow Joseph to receive regular at-bats to try and fix his offensive woes while Chance Sisco serves as the primary backstop in Baltimore.
