Prior to Tuesday’s contest with the Miami Marlins, the Atlanta Braves announced several roster moves, most notably placing catcher Drake Baldwin on the 10-day injured list with a strained oblique. The club also selected Chadwick Tromp to the major league roster, reinstated Dylan Dodd from the injured list, optioned JR Ritchie to Triple-A Gwinnett, recalled Víctor Mederos, and finally, released Aaron Bummer from the roster.
The Atlanta lineup continues to be plagued by injuries, and this time, it’s sidelining Baldwin, who has hit .303 and logged 36 games behind the plate thus far. Considering this is an oblique injury, his time on the IL will likely surpass the minimum stint. Fortunately, Baldwin’s strain is just a Grade 1.

Beyond Baldwin’s injury, the release of Aaron Bummer has sparked lots of discussion. During his outing on Monday night, the left-hander got absolutely rocked, giving up six runs in one inning.
The remaining moves do not come as a huge surprise, and while Baldwin is out, the Braves will look for the rest of the roster to help keep them atop the NL East.
