CHADWICK TROMP NEWS

On track for 26-man roster Tromp will likely back up rookie Drake Baldwin at catcher on Atlanta's Opening Day roster, Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact 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.

Favorite for backup job 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.

Impact 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.

Heads back to Triple-A Atlanta optioned Tromp to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Impact 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.

Back in big leagues Atlanta recalled Tromp from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Impact Tromp will be the club's backup catcher behind Sean Murphy while Travis d'Arnaud is on the paternity list. He's slashed .250/.259/.365 in 19 games at the major-league level in 2024.

Could be Sale's personal catcher Tromp got the start Sunday with Chris Sale on the mound for Atlanta, and he could wind up being the veteran southpaw's personal catcher while he's in the majors, David O'Brien of T...

Impact Sale was very complimentary of Tromp's work behind the plate after the game, in which he struck out seven batters and walked two over 5.1 innings. If Atlanta wants to keep 35-year-old Travis d'Arnaud from breaking down while Sean Murphy (oblique) is on the shelf, Tromp will likely start more than once even five days or so, but having a pitcher like Sale talk up his game-calling skills can only help his outlook for playing time. Whether he offers anything as a hitter is another question, though -- the 29-year-old backstop went 0-for-2 on Sunday, and he slashed .210/.336/.384 with 10 homers over 65 games for Triple-A Gwinnett in 2023.

MARCH 30, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Up from Triple-A Atlanta selected Tromp's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact 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.

Optioned to Triple-A Tromp was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Impact He was up as a third catcher as Sean Murphy dealt with a hamstring injury, but now that Murphy appears to be in the clear the club will go back to a traditional two-catcher alignment. Tromp is 2-for-16 at the plate during his time in the majors in 2023.

Called up Sunday Tromp was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Impact The 28-year-old had a month-long stint in the majors earlier this year and went 2-for-16 in six games. Tromp will join the club Sunday as catching depth ahead of the series finale against the Rockies since Sean Murphy is dealing with a hamstring injury.

Optioned to Triple-A Tromp was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Impact 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.

Recalled from Triple-A Atlanta recalled Tromp from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Impact Tromp replaces Travis d'Arnaud on the roster after d'Arnaud was placed on the 7-day injured list with a concussion Sunday. The backstop will operate as Sean Murphy's backup while he's with Atlanta.

APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Atlanta optioned Tromp to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Impact 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.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy for spring training Tromp (quadriceps) appeared in a two-inning simulated game Wednesday, Grant McAuley of 92-9 The Game Atlanta reports.

Impact 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.
