Ciuffo signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees' catching corps has been bitten by the injury bug, so Ciuffo will provide some depth. He has a career .551 OPS over parts of three major-league seasons.

Ciuffo signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Monday that includes an invite to big-league spring training.
EDGE Analysis
Ciuffo had a brief stint in the majors with Baltimore last season, but he spent most of his time at Triple-A Norfolk. The 27-year-old has appeared in just 21 major-league games across the last four seasons and will presumably serve as organizational depth for the White Sox in 2022.

The Orioles granted Ciuffo free agency Monday after outrighting him off the 40-man roster over the weekend, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old Ciuffo has appeared in 21 big-league games over parts of three seasons, cobbling together a .188/.259/.292 slash line. Baltimore could still bring him back on a minor-league deal this winter, but Ciuffo will at least get the opportunity to weigh his options with other organizations as he becomes a free agent.

Ciuffo was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ciuffo appeared in just two big-league games this season and has just 21 career games under his belt at the highest level. He's done little to suggest he's anything other than organizational depth, hitting .188/.259/.292 for his career.

Ciuffo (undisclosed) had his contract selected by the Orioles on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Ciuffo missed the early season for Triple-A Norfolk with a fractured hand, and he's appeared in only 17 games since making his season debut in June. He also missed a month between July and August with an undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old will provide depth at catcher behind Pedro Severino and Austin Wynns.

Triple-A Norfolk placed Ciuffo on its 60-day injured list July 21 due to an unspecified issue.
EDGE Analysis
Ciuffo was sidelined for the first month and a half of the minor-league season with a fractured hand, but he returned to action in mid-June and played in 12 games before being shut down a month later. Norfolk hasn't indicated whether Ciuffo suffered a setback with the initial injury or is dealing with a different concern, but regardless, he's unlikely to play again in 2021.

Ciuffo (hand) rejoined Triple-A Norfolk on Monday and is expected to be activated from the 7-day injured list in the near future, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ciuffo has been sidelined since late April after fracturing his right hand while training at the Orioles' alternate site. Once he's formally cleared to return from the injury, Ciuffo will likely share work at catcher with Brett Cumberland and Chance Sisco.

Ciuffo (hand) isn't expected to make his 2021 debut until early-to-mid June, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ciuffo will be on the shelf at Triple-A Norfolk to begin the season while he recovers from a fractured right hand. Once healthy, the 26-year-old will provide depth behind the plate at the upper levels of the minors.

Ciuffo isn't included on the roster for Triple-A Norfolk while recovering from a hand fracture, roch reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old suffered the injury a couple weeks ago when hit by a pitch, so he won't be ready for the start of the minor-league season next week. Ciuffo hasn't needed surgery, so he could be back sooner rather than later if he can avoid any setbacks.
