• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: On track for 26-man roster

  Rotowire Mar 14, 2025

  Tromp will likely back up rookie Drake Baldwin at catcher on Atlanta's Opening Day roster, Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Sean Murphy (ribs) will begin the season on the IL, opening the door for Baldwin to make his big-league debut. Had Murphy not been injured, Tromp likely would have been the No. 2 backstop anyway, as he's out of minor-league options, but if Baldwin shows he's ready for the majors over the first weeks of the year, Tromp could be squeezed off the roster when Murphy returns.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Favorite for backup job

  Rotowire Feb 6, 2025

  Tromp is the leading candidate to back up Sean Murphy behind the plate for Atlanta to begin the season, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. The 29-year-old has never gotten more than 64 big-league plate appearances in a season and has just a .232/.237/.397 slash line for his career, but Atlanta is comfortable with his defense and game-calling. Tromp's main competition for a spot on the Opening Day roster will likely come from top prospect Drake Baldwin, although veteran backstops Curt Casali and Sandy Leon will also be in camp for Atlanta.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Heads back to Triple-A

  Rotowire Sep 12, 2024

  Atlanta optioned Tromp to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday. Tromp was up with Atlanta for the club's last three games while Travis d'Arnaud (personal) was away from the team on paternity leave, but Tromp will head back to the minors now that d'Arnaud has been reinstated to the 28-man active roster. Atlanta didn't use Tromp during his abbreviated stay with the big club, as Sean Murphy started all three games at catcher.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Back in big leagues

  Rotowire Sep 9, 2024

  Atlanta recalled Tromp from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. He will be the club's backup catcher behind Sean Murphy after Travis d'Arnaud was placed on the paternity list Monday. Tromp has slashed .250/.259/.365 in 19 games at the major-league level in 2024.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Sent back to Triple-A

  Rotowire Jun 2, 2024

  Atlanta optioned Tromp to Triple-A Gwinnett following Sunday's 3-1 win over the Athletics. Tromp has seen limited usage as the No. 2 catcher behind Travis d'Arnaud for much of the season. He recently dropped to third on the depth chart behind Sean Murphy and d'Arnaud and hadn't played at all since Murphy was reinstated from the injured list Monday. The 29-year-old will now head back to Gwinnett to get regular playing time, with Atlanta set to announce a replacement for him on the 26-man active roster prior to Tuesday's series opener in Boston.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Two hits in Thursday's win

  Rotowire May 24, 2024

  Tromp went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's win over the Cubs. The 29-year-old backstop has seen his playing time pick up lately due in part to a concussion scare for Travis d'Arnaud, and Tromp has responded by going 6-for-13 with three doubles and two runs scored while appearing in four of the last seven games. His time in the majors figures to be coming to a close, however -- Sean Murphy (oblique) has homered in back-to-back games to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett and could come off the IL as soon as this weekend.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Up from Triple-A

  Rotowire Mar 30, 2024

  Atlanta selected Tromp's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Tromp will serve as the backup to Travis d'Arnaud while Sean Murphy (oblique) is on the injured list. Tromp went just 2-for-16 with an RBI across six major-league games last season and doesn't figure to see much playing time off the bench.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Moves to minor-league camp

  Rotowire Mar 18, 2024

  Atlanta reassigned Tromp to minor-league camp Monday. Tromp looks to be third on Atlanta's organizational catching depth chart, but with both Sean Murphy and Travis d'Arnaud at full health heading into Opening Day, there wasn't a spot available for Tromp with the big club. He'll likely need Murphy or d'Arnaud to miss time at some point this season before he's summoned from the minors.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Back with Atlanta

  Rotowire Nov 22, 2023

  Atlanta re-signed Tromp to a minor-league contract Wednesday. Tromp was non-tendered by Atlanta last week but will return to the organization. The 28-year-old catcher has put up a .640 OPS with five home runs over 102 plate appearances at the major-league level. He'll likely begin 2024 at Triple-A Gwinnett.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Optioned to Triple-A

  Rotowire Jun 30, 2023

  Tromp was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday. He was up as a third catcher while Sean Murphy dealt with a hamstring injury, but now that the team's starting backstop appears to be in the clear, Tromp is no longer needed. He's gone 2-for-16 at the plate during his time in the majors in 2023.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Sent to Triple-A

  Rotowire May 8, 2023

  Atlanta optioned Tromp to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. Tromp will head back to Triple-A after Travis d'Arnaud (concussion) was reinstated from his rehab assignment Monday. Tromp operated as Atlanta's backup catcher for about a month, going 1-for-16 with a double, an RBI and a run scored with seven strikeouts in limited action at the plate.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Recalled from Triple-A

  Rotowire Apr 9, 2023

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Sent to Triple-A

  Rotowire Mar 1, 2023

  Atlanta optioned Tromp to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. Tromp was always viewed as unlikely to make the Opening Day club with Sean Murphy and Travis d'Arnaud making up the backstop tandem for Atlanta in 2023. He'll provides organizational depth at Triple-A but could be first in line for a call-up if Atlanta is without Murphy or d'Arnaud for any period of time.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Healthy for spring training

  Rotowire Feb 22, 2023

  Tromp (quadriceps) appeared in a two-inning simulated game Wednesday, Grant McAuley of 92-9 The Game Atlanta reports. Tromp missed the final month of the 2022 season after he aggravated a left quadriceps strain during a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett, but he reported to camp last week at full health. Though he's one of only three catchers on Atlanta's 40-man roster, Tromp is likely to head back to Gwinnett to begin the season so long as both Sean Murphy and Travis d'Arnaud are both available.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Aggravates quad injury

  Rotowire Aug 31, 2022

  Tromp had his rehab assignment shut down after he aggravated his left quadriceps injury at Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday. Tromp joined the Triple-A club for a rehab assignment Sunday and went 0-for-6 with a run, a walk and two strikeouts over two games. However, it's not yet clear when he'll be cleared to return from the injured list following Tuesday's setback.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Starts up rehab assignment

  Rotowire Aug 28, 2022

  Tromp (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday. Tromp has been on the injured list since Aug. 16 with a left quad strain, but he'll likely need only a few games in the minors to get back up to full speed. With Travis d'Arnaud and William Contreras entrenched as Atlanta's top two backstops, the team doesn't have an immediate need to rush Tromp back, though he could be a candidate to join the club as a No. 3 catcher when the roster expands to 28 men in September.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Shelved with quad strain

  Rotowire Aug 16, 2022

  Atlanta placed Tromp on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained left quadricep. After getting called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Aug. 7, Tromp went 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in his lone game for Atlanta on Saturday against the Marlins. He apparently picked up the injury in that game and will now miss at least the next week and a half, but he likely wouldn't have stuck around with the big club much longer even if he hadn't gotten hurt. Travis d'Arnaud (lower leg) returned from a short-term injury in Monday's win over the Mets, giving Atlanta two healthy catchers again.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Contract selected by Atlanta

  Rotowire Aug 7, 2022

  Tromp had his contract selected by Atlanta on Sunday. The 27-year-old was designated for assignment in mid-April but will rejoin the big-league roster with Travis d'Arnaud (lower leg) managing an injury. Tromp has yet to appear in a MLB game this year and has a .259/.301/.453 slash line with 12 home runs and 41 RBI in 68 games for Triple-A Gwinnett.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Outrighted to Triple-A

  Rotowire Apr 19, 2022

  Tromp was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday. Tromp was designated for assignment last Tuesday and unsurprisingly passed through waivers unclaimed. He'll remain in an organizational depth role for now.

• Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Designated for assignment

  Rotowire Apr 12, 2022

  Tromp was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Tuesday. Tromp owns a 64 wRC+ in 33 career major-league games and is behind three other catchers on Atlanta's organizational depth chart. It's no surprise that he'll be the one to make way on the 40-man roster for Bryce Elder, whose contract was selected ahead of his MLB debut.
