Sam Huff Stats

Texas Rangers catcher Sam Huff (knee) is expected to be out at least eight weeks. The prospect will be on the shelf to have surgery to remove a loose body, an injury he sustained after hurting his right knee while rehabbing from a hamstring strain. While the 23-year-old may be back behind the dish at some point, chances are he will be utilized at DH upon his return for the remainder of the 2021 campaign.

Texas Rangers catcher Sam Huff will open the year at the alternate training site but that doesn't mean that he won't make a big impact in the majors in 2021 and beyond. Huff had a rough spring with just one hit in 12 at-bats and he also struck out six times. The 23-year-old rookie spent most of the 2020 season at the alternate training site but went 11-for-31 (.355) with three homers at the MLB level. He slugged 28 home runs at the A-ball level in 2019. With his grip-and-rip approach, he may never hit for a high average but the raw power potential makes him an intriguing future fantasy option especially in two-catcher leagues. For now, Texas will go with Jose Trevino and Jonah Heim behind the dish.

Texas Rangers catcher Sam Huff, who suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain at the beginning of camp, started light baseball activities on Tuesday, according to Jeff Wilson of the Forth Worth Star-Telegram. The 23-year-old backstop is the Rangers' No. 2 prospect and was very impressive over his limited appearances last season. He slashed .355/.394/.742 with three home runs and four RBI over just 31 at-bats (10 games). He will begin this season in Triple-A but will likely get called up at some point for the rebuilding Rangers. He's a name to remember in fantasy leagues, particularly in dynasty formats.
