The Baltimore Orioles acquired catcher Alex Jackson from the New York Yankees on July 6, 2025, in exchange for international signing bonus pool money and a player to be named later or cash considerations. This trade addressed the Orioles' need for catching depth amid injuries, as starting catcher Gary Sánchez was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right knee sprain. Early estimates indicate Sánchez will miss 8 to 10 weeks. Following the acquisition, the Orioles selected Jackson's contract from Triple-A Norfolk, assigning him jersey number 70. Additional injury and rehab updates for the Orioles include Adley Rutschman taking dry swings, Albert Suárez preparing to throw a bullpen session, and Rhys Hoskins expecting to be out for roughly six weeks.
