Huff accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday after clearing waivers, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Huff was booted off the Orioles' 40-man roster Monday in order to make room for Yohel Pozo. He'll opt stay in the organization and will head to Triple-A, where he's produced a .189/.265/.302 slash line with three home runs across 117 plate appearances this season.

The Orioles designated Huff for assignment Monday.
Touted as a bat-first catcher, Huff had been abysmal across 14 games in the big leagues this season, batting just .121 while striking out in 19 of his 34 plate appearances. Though the Orioles remain without their top two backstops in Adley Rutschman (wrist) and Samuel Basallo (shoulder), Huff hadn't produced well enough to justify sticking around in the big leagues. Baltimore recalled recent waiver pickup Yohel Pozo from Double-A Chesapeake in a corresponding move, and he'll join Chadwick Tromp as the team's available options behind the plate until one of Rutschman or Basallo returns.

Huff is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
The 28-year-old made consecutive starts for the Orioles earlier in the week after Adley Rutschman (wrist) and Samuel Basallo (shoulder) landed on the injured list within two days of one another, but Chadwick Tromp has since supplanted Huff as Baltimore's preferred option behind the plate in the short term. Huff has gone just 4-for-32 (.125) with 19 strikeouts in 13 games with the Orioles this season.

Huff is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Chadwick Tromp will step in behind the plate after Huff started at catcher in the Orioles' 6-3 loss in the first game of the day. With Samuel Basallo (shoulder) joining Adley Rutschman (wrist) on the injured list Wednesday, Huff looks to be the new No. 1 option on the depth chart, but he's provided little reason for fantasy players to rush to the waiver wire to pick him up. Since being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Huff has gone 0-for-8 with seven strikeouts and one walk.

Baltimore selected Huff's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
After re-signing with Baltimore on a minor-league deal on July 3, Huff will rejoin the big club as a third option at catcher behind Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo. The 28-year-old has previously seen action in nine games with Baltimore this season, slashing.174/.174/.261 with one RBI and one run across 23 plate appearances.

Huff signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Friday and was assigned to Triple-A Norfolk.
Huff has elected free agency on all three occasions after the Orioles have designated him for assignment this season, only to return to the organization on minor-league pacts. The 28-year-old catcher has logged 102 plate appearances at Norfolk this season, slashing .183/.255/.312 with three home runs.
