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.

The Rangers optioned Huff to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Huff was up for a few days while Jonah Heim was on paternity leave and started Monday's game versus the Mets, going 0-for-3 with a walk. With Heim back on the active roster, Huff heads back to Round Rock.

Huff was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Huff will return to the major-league roster, replacing Jonah Heim with the team in Seattle after Heim was placed on the paternity list Saturday. Huff will likely operate as the backup catcher to Andrew Knizner while in the big leagues.

The Rangers optioned Huff to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Huff was up for a handful of days and did not receive a plate appearance. He'll go back to getting regular at-bats at Round Rock.

The Rangers recalled Huff from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

With Jonah Heim (bereavement) away from the team, Huff will join the big-league roster to give the Rangers security behind the dish. The 26-year-old is slashing .321/.415/.607 across 65 plate appearances in the minors and will likely return to Round Rock once Heim returns.

The Rangers optioned Huff to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Earlier in spring training, Rangers manager Bruce Bochy teased the idea of keeping a third catcher on the Opening Day roster behind Jonah Heim and Andrew Knizner, but Huff apparently won't be under consideration for a spot now that he's been an early cut in camp. Even though he's nominally a catcher, Huff provides more value with the bat than he does with his defense, so he likely didn't help his cause by getting off to a 1-for-16 start at the dish in Cactus League play.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that the club is considering carrying three catchers on the Opening Day roster, putting Huff in contention for a spot, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jonah Heim will start and Andrew Knizner would appear to be the heavy favorite to back him up, but Huff also looks to be in the mix. Working in Huff's favor is that he can also play first base and could bring enough thump offensively to draw the occasional start at designated hitter. Huff does have an option year remaining, so Texas could still hang on to him even if he's not on the Opening Day roster.

Huff is one of two catchers on the Rangers' 40-man roster, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Texas is short on catchers after Mitch Garver bolted for Seattle, and Austin Hedges left for Cleveland. That leaves Jonah Heim as the starter with Huff the primary backup six weeks before spring training. Huff, who turns 26 next week, caught just three games in the majors and 58 at Triple-A Round Rock last season. The bat might play in the big leagues, but he lacks significant experience behind the dish. The Rangers will likely explore the backup catching market leading up to preseason.

Huff was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Huff saw limited playing time since being recalled Sept. 1, securing two hits in five at-bats while recording two home runs, three RBI and two runs scored in five games. He was optioned to make room for the return of Adolis Garcia (knee) and Josh Jung (thumb) from the injured list. Jonathan Ornelas was also optioned in the flurry of transactions.

Huff went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Friday's 12-3 loss to the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Huff entered the blowout loss late and homered as part of the Rangers' three-run ninth inning. He's made just five plate appearances since being recalled for the month of September. Both of his hits during this latest stint in the majors have been home runs.
