2 weeks agoThe Atlanta Braves have designated catcher
Chadwick Tromp for assignment to open a roster spot for
Sean Murphy (rib), who was activated off the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Tromp was able to make the Opening Day roster with Murphy beginning the season on the injured list. However, he was deployed as the clear No. 2 backstop behind
Drake Baldwin. During his brief taste in the majors this season, he only saw five at-bats and did not tally a hit. If he clears waivers, he will then move to Triple-A Gwinnett. Across 61 career games in the majors, Tromp has posted a .224/.235/.385 slash line with 10 doubles and five home runs. Fantasy managers in deeper two-catcher formats should continue to hold Baldwin on their roster as he still could have fantasy value operating as the No. 2 option behind Murphy.

3 months agoAtlanta Braves catcher
Chadwick Tromp is expected to open the 2025 season as
Sean Murphy's backup now that
Travis d'Arnaud is with the Angels, which likely means he'll receive a start or two per week. Tromp had a similar role last year when Murphy missed two months with an injury, and again when d'Arnaud missed a little bit of time. He's merely serviceable offensively and is more known for his game-calling skills and solid defense behind the dish. The 29-year-old Aruban catcher has played in just 26 games in the last three seasons in Atlanta and has hit .250 (18-for-72) with no homers, 10 RBI, four runs scored and 24 strikeouts in 74 plate appearances. Tromp could open the year as the Opening Day backup catcher for Atlanta, but top prospect
Drake Baldwin could make his MLB debut sooner than later and push Tromp out of the picture.

1 year agoThe Atlanta Braves re-signed catcher
Chadwick Tromp to a minor-league deal on Wednesday. Tromp will return to the organization for the 2024 season after he was non-tendered by the club last week. He has played in just seven games for Atlanta at the major-league level the last two seasons and has gone 5-for-20 with three doubles, four RBI and a run scored. The 28-year-old backstop will be back to provide depth at the catcher position behind
Sean Murphy and
Travis d'Arnaud. In 65 games at Triple-A Gwinnett in 2023, Tromp slashed .210/.336/.384 with 10 home runs and 33 RBI. He's a career .246 hitter with 51 homers in 521 minor-league games over 10 seasons.

3 years agoAtlanta Braves minor league catcher
Chadwick Tromp is making his presence felt at the Triple-A level so far this season. The 27-year-old is seeing the ball well and hitting with power in the Atlanta pipeline. He now owns a 10-game hitting streak. During the month of May alone, he is 10-for-21 with four homers, 13 RBI, two walks, and just two strikeouts. Although he has been on a tear and could reach the majors soon, any promotion would merely put him in a backup role. Thus, he's not on the fantasy radar at this point in his career.
