The Orioles signed Viloria to a minor-league contract Monday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Viloria went 5-for-30 in the minors while with the Angels, and now he'll look to turn the tide with Triple-A Norfolk while giving the Orioles organizational depth behind the plate. Viloria appeared in 10 games in the majors this season with Cleveland, but the chances of him making it back are slim.

Viloria was released by the Angels on June 2, per Taylor Blake Ward of AngelsWin.com.

EDGE Analysis

Los Angeles signed Viloria to a minor-league deal May 11 but let him go less than a month later. The 26-year-old backstop played in 10 games for the organization's Triple-A affiliate, slashing .167/.265/.33 with a home run and an RBI. He's logged time in the majors in parts of five different seasons, compiling a .198/.270/.279 slash line with three long balls and 24 RBI over 103 contests between the Royals, Rangers and Guardians. Viloria will presumably try to find a new landing spot with a club in need of catching depth.

Viloria signed a minor-league deal with the Angels on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Viloria began the season with the Guardians but was designated for assignment May 1. Max Stassi (personal/hip) and Chad Wallach (concussion) are both sidelined, so Viloria could get a look with the big-league club in the near future. For now, he's been assigned to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Viloria elected free agency Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After being moved off the Guardians' 40-man roster and 26-man active roster last week and then clearing waivers, Viloria has chosen to seek opportunities elsewhere rather than reporting to Cleveland's Triple-A affiliate in Columbus. The 26-year-old catcher appeared in just 10 games and logged four plate appearances while he was with the big club for the first month of the season.

The Guardians designated Viloria for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Viloria has hardly played this season as Cleveland's third catcher. He'll now go through the waiver process and is likely to report to Triple-A Columbus if he goes unclaimed.

Viloria had his contract selected from Triple-A Columbus by the Guardians on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Guardians are carrying three catchers, with Viloria settling behind Mike Zunino. Viloria doesn't figure to play much.

Viloria has been informed that he's likely to be on the Opening Day roster, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Bell, Viloria has been told that "as long as something doesn't happen in the meantime" he'll be on the Opening Day roster. That means the Guardians will carry three catchers to begin the season as Mike Zunino and Cam Gallagher are also set to open the year with the Guardians. Both Gallagher and Viloria were signed to minor-league contracts, so they'll have to be added to the 40-man roster before Thursday.

Viloria signed a minor-league contract with the Guardians on Sunday, which includes an invitation to major-league spring training, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Viloria hit free agency after he was designated for assignment by San Francisco in mid-November, and he'll continue his career in Cleveland. The 25-year-old appeared in 26 big-league games for the Rangers last season and has a .553 OPS across 93 MLB appearances.

Viloria was designated for assignment by the Giants on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Viloria was claimed off waivers by San Francisco last week but has quickly been jettisoned from the 40-man roster. He appeared in 26 games for the Rangers in 2022 and went 10-for-63 with two home runs, five RBI and 11 walks.

Viloria was claimed off waivers by the Giants on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Viloria played in 26 major-league games for the Rangers last year and hit .159 with two homers, 10 runs and five RBI. He's unlikely to spend significant time in the big leagues in 2023.
