Rangers' Sam Huff: Misses out on Opening Day roster
The Texas Rangers optioned Sam Huff to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.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' Sam Huff: Texas could carry three catchers
Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that the club is considering carrying three catchers on the Opening Day roster, putting Sam Huff in contention for a spot, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.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.

Rangers' Sam Huff: Top backup on 40-man
Sam Huff is one of two catchers on the Texas Rangers' 40-man roster, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.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 the spring training.
