The Orioles activated Handley (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old will stick around with Norfolk after he recently wrapped up a five-game rehab assignment with the affiliate. Initially placed on the 7-day injured list June 23 due to a concussion, Handley was later shifted to the 10-day IL on July 23 due to a sprained right wrist. Though Handley is healthy again, the Orioles didn't have a spot available for him on the active roster with three other catchers already on hand (Adley Rutschman, Samuel Basallo and Alex Jackson).

Handley (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Handley hasn't seen game action since June 22 due to a concussion and, more recently, a sprained right wrist. However, he's getting close to making a return, as he's set to see some game action this weekend. It's unclear how long of an assignment he'll require.

The Orioles announced Monday that Handley (wrist) has resumed swinging a bat, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Initially placed on the 7-day injured list June 23, Handley cleared concussion protocol a month later but was shifted to the 10-day IL last week while he continues to recover from a right wrist sprain. The backstop appears to have begun a hitting progression, but he'll still need to face live pitching in addition to proving that his throwing isn't impacted by the wrist injury before he gets cleared for a minor-league rehab assignment.

The Orioles transferred Handley (concussion) from the 7-day injured list to the 10-day IL due to a right wrist sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Handley suffered a concussion as a result of a collision with the Yankees' Jazz Chisholm back on June 22, but he also hurt his wrist on the play. He appears to have since cleared concussion protocol, but a recent visit with a wrist specialist confirmed a sprain. The Orioles haven't indicated how long Handley might be shelved.

Handley will see a wrist specialist and will start concussion protocol soon, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Handley has been on the 7-day concussion injured list since late June and evidently must have also hurt his wrist during a collision with the Yankees' Jazz Chisholm back on June 22. There is no timetable for his return.

Handley (concussion) isn't expected to be cleared to swing a bat for at least another week, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reported Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Handley has been on the concussion injured list since June 23 after being on the receiving end of a nasty collision with Jazz Chisholm. He'll need at least one more week before being cleared to swing a bat, so he shouldn't be expected back until late July at the earliest.

Orioles manager Tony Mansolino said Sunday that Handley (concussion) hasn't been cleared to resume baseball activities, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Handley is one of four Orioles catchers on the 40-man roster who resides on the injured list. Like Handley, Chadwick Tromp (back) and Gary Sanchez (knee) are also shut down from activities, while Adley Rutschman (oblique) has resumed running and taking swings off a tee but still appears to be weeks away from a return. The Orioles appear set to get by with Jacob Stallings and Alex Jackson as their catching tandem through the All-Star break, and likely to begin the second half.

The Orioles placed Handley on the 7-day injured list Monday due to a concussion.
EDGE Analysis
Handley was injured during a violent collision with the Yankees' Jazz Chisholm during Sunday's 4-2 loss. While Handley will be eligible to return in a week, the Orioles aren't providing a timetable for the 27-year-old's activation, given the unpredictability of concussions. Adley Rutschman (oblique) also remains on the IL, so the Orioles will go with Gary Sanchez and Chadwick Tromp as their options at catcher.

Handley was removed from Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees in the bottom of the second inning following a collision at home plate and will receive a "full body" evaluation before the Orioles provide a diagnosis for his injury, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. "He got hit pretty hard. We haven't seen a collision like that at the plate probably since all the new rules came in. So we're evaluating him right now, full body, every part of it," Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said after the game.
EDGE Analysis
After striking out in his lone plate appearance of the day in the top of the second, Handley was forced out of the contest when the Yankees' Jazz Chisholm violently barreled into him as Handley attempted to retrieve a throw down the third-base line and apply a tag. Gary Sanchez had been scheduled to receive Sunday off but ended up catching the rest of the game for the Orioles after Handley couldn't continue. Mansolino noted that Handley's full-body evaluation will include a concussion check.

The Orioles recalled Handley from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Handley will replace Adley Rutschman (oblique) on the active roster as Rutschman goes on the 10-day injured list. Handley has appeared in 15 MLB games this season but has gone just 3-for-40 (.075) with a 37 percent K rate. He'll serve as Gary Sanchez's backup while Rutschman is out.
