Huff cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Huff was DFA'd on Wednesday, but he'll stick around the Giants organization as catching depth. The veteran backstop posted a .599 OPS with two homers and four RBI over 58 big-league plate appearances before being removed from the 40-man roster.

The Giants designated Huff for assignment Wednesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Huff has slashed only .208/.259/.340 as the Giants' backup catcher, which wasn't good enough for him to stick around with the big club, especially since he's known more for his bat than his defense. Andrew Knizner was called up from Triple-A Sacramento and will take over as the team's new No. 2 catcher.

Huff went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Huff cracked a 379-foot solo shot to left-center field off right-hander Michael Soroka in the third inning, marking his first homer since April 20. The 27-year-old catcher also recorded his first extra-base hit in seven appearances this month. He's now slashing .208/.250/.354 with five runs scored, four RBI, two home runs, a double and a 3:23 BB:K across 52 plate appearances this season.

Huff went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Wednesday's 8-7 loss to the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old received the starting nod behind the plate against southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez. Huff lined a single into left field in the second inning before coming around to score on a sacrifice fly. The catcher has made four appearances in May, slashing .167/.154/.167 with a 61.5 percent strikeout rate across 13 plate appearances.

Huff went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Huff drew the start at catcher Saturday, cracking his first double of the season into right field before coming around to score in the fifth frame. The 27-year-old went 0-for-10 in his first four games, though he has recorded a .333 batting average with two runs scored and two RBI since. Huff is slashing .214/.290/.357 with a 3:11 BB:K across 31 plate appearances in 11 games.

Huff went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Huff took Brock Burke deep in the sixth to push the Giants ahead 3-1. It was Huff's first home run in what was his eighth appearance of the season as he maintains a backup catcher role behind Patrick Bailey.

Huff is expected to operate as the Giants' backup catcher to begin the regular season, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Huff appears set to make his Giants debut in the team's opening series in Cincinnati after being claimed off waivers by San Francisco in January. Patrick Bailey is expected to be San Francisco's starting catcher while Huff will handle the top reserve role with Tom Murphy (back) on the shelf for the time being.

Huff could make the Opening Day roster as the backup catcher with Tom Murphy sidelined with an oblique injury, The Athletic reports. Huff went 1-for-2 with a walk and home run Saturday in his spring debut.

EDGE Analysis

Huff will compete with Max Stassi for the backup role to Patrick Bailey if Murphy begins the season on the injured list. Huff's performance in the spring training opener can only help his chances.

The Giants claimed Huff off waivers from the Rangers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Huff has held his own during his rare opportunities in the majors with a .768 OPS and 10 home runs in 214 career plate appearances, although that's come with a 33.6 percent strikeout rate. He's out of options, so the Giants will need to carry him on their Opening Day roster in 2025 or put him back through waivers.

The Rangers designated Huff for assignment Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Huff has put up a .768 OPS with 10 home runs in 214 career plate appearances in the majors, albeit with a 33.6 percent strikeout rate. He never really got an extended look at the major-league level, but Huff should draw some interest via trade or waivers, especially if a team believes he can be capable enough defensively at catcher.
