Latest News About Braves Call Up Chadwick Tromp as Catcher Depth Grows

Chadwick Tromp was promoted from the Gwinnett Stripers to the Atlanta Braves on May 19, 2026, joining the major league roster as catcher depth amid injuries to two teammates. The move follows Tromp’s 2025 season across Atlanta, Baltimore, and Boston, and his November 2025 re-signing to a minor league deal with Atlanta, which included a 24-game stint at Triple-A Gwinnett before the promotion. In his first notable contribution since the promotion, Tromp delivered a walk-off two-out RBI single in the 11th inning on May 22, 2026, lifting the Braves to a 5-4 victory over the Washington Nationals. He finished that game 2-for-3 with two RBIs, also contributing a run in the 10th to push the game deeper. The Braves have positioned Tromp to provide depth behind their catchers as injuries to rookie Drake Baldwin and veteran Sean Murphy continue to influence roster decisions. Tromp’s early-season impact highlights the role of depth players in sustaining a competitive team through a grueling schedule.
