As of Wednesday, Chance Sisco had started four of the last five games at catcher for the Orioles. Sisco even hit second in the lineup for the first time this year on Wednesday. He was scheduled to do so one night earlier, on Tuesday, but that game was postponed.
It’s becoming apparent that Caleb Joseph is not the full time starter anymore. Joseph was the number one catcher going into the year, starting seven out of 11 games to start the season. But that trend changed quickly.
Maybe Buck Showalter is just going with the hot hand right now, and Joseph will reestablish himself as the starter again somewhere down the line.
