After a victory against the Miami Marlins, Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss announced that catcher Drake Baldwin has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a mild Grade 1 oblique strain. With starting catcher Sean Murphy also sidelined with a fractured finger, veterans Sandy Leon and Chadwick Tromp will take over catching duties. Baldwin, who has had an impressive season with 13 home runs and a 160 wRC+, was on track for his first All-Star appearance. The duration of Baldwin’s injury remains uncertain, while Murphy is expected to return next month.
