The Atlanta Braves placed catcher Drake Baldwin on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right oblique muscle.
The Braves selected fellow catcher Chadwick Tromp from Triple-A Gwinnett to take the roster spot of Baldwin.
Baldwin, 25, is batting .303 with 13 homers and 38 RBIs in 48 games this season. He exited Monday's 12-0 setback at Miami after lining out in the sixth inning.
The reigning National League Rookie of the Year, Baldwin hit .274 with 19 homers and 80 RBIs in 124 games in 2025 with Atlanta. He was selected by the Braves in the third round of the 2022 MLB Draft.
Tromp, 31, is batting .169 with three homers and 12 RBIs in 24 games with Gwinnett.
Also on Tuesday, the Braves returned left-hander Dylan Dodd from his rehabilitation assignment and reinstated him from the injured list. They optioned right-hander JR Ritchie to Gwinnett following Monday's game.
