The Orioles placed Tromp (back) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
The 30-year-old is now the third catcher on Baltimore's injured list, joining Adley Rutschman (oblique) and Maverick Handley (concussion). Tromp will be eligible to be reinstated July 11, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point. Jacob Stallings was added to the MLB roster Tuesday to serve as the backup to Gary Sanchez.

Orioles' Chadwick Tromp: Diagnosed with lower back strain
Rotowire
Tromp has been diagnosed with a lower back strain and is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Tromp was removed from Monday night's eventual extra-innings win over the Rangers in the third inning. Gary Sanchez had to take over at catcher, and Texas went 4-for-4 on stolen bases afterward. Adley Rutschman (oblique) and Maverick Handley (concussion) are still on the injured list for the Orioles. Top prospect Samuel Basallo remains at Triple-A Norfolk, where he's slashing .264/.390/.579 with 16 home runs, 37 RBI and 37 runs scored across 218 plate appearances. Veteran Jacob Stallings is also in Norfolk. Neither catcher is currently on the 40-man roster.

Orioles' Chadwick Tromp: Leaves with back tightness
Rotowire
Tromp exited Monday night's game against the Blue Jays with lower back tightness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Gary Sanchez moved from designated hitter to catcher in the bottom of the third inning, and starting pitcher Trevor Rogers entered the lineup in the nine spot. Prior to leaving, Tromp went 0-for-1 at the plate. With both Adley Rutschman (oblique) and Maverick Handley (concussion) on the injured list, Sanchez looks likely to handle catching duties for Baltimore in the immediate future.

Chadwick Tromp: Becomes free agent
Rotowire
Tromp elected to become a free agent Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
He passed through waivers after being removed from the Orioles' 40-man roster, but Tromp has decided to look for a gig elsewhere rather than accept an outright assignment. The 30-year-old shouldn't have an issue finding another organization in need of catching depth.

Orioles' Chadwick Tromp: Nets MiLB deal from Baltimore
Rotowire
The Orioles signed Tromp to a minor-league contract Sunday.
Tromp elected free agency after being removed from Atlanta's 40-man roster last week and he's now caught on with Baltimore, where he'll provide catching depth. With Adley Rutschman and Gary Sanchez holding down the top two catching spots with the big club, Tromp will need an injury or two before being considered for the majors.

Chadwick Tromp: Elects free agency
Rotowire
Tromp elected free agency Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Tromp was designated for assignment over the weekend and cleared waivers. Instead of reporting to Triple-A Gwinnett, Tromp has chosen to see what else is out there on the open market. The 30-year-old catcher has a career .224/.235/.385 slash line across 162 big-league plate appearances.

Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Loses 40-man roster spot
Rotowire
Atlanta designated Tromp for assignment Sunday.
With Sean Murphy (rib) completing his rehab assignment and ready to return from the 10-day injured list in advance of the big club's next game Tuesday versus Philadelphia, Atlanta elected to activate him a couple days early. Tromp ended up being the casualty, as he'll surrendered his spot on the 26-man active roster to Tromp while also losing his spot on the 40-man roster since he doesn't have minor-league options remaining. Atlanta is hopeful Tromp will go unclaimed off waivers and stick around in the organization as catching depth at Triple-A Gwinnett. Tromp appeared in just two of Atlanta's first nine games while Drake Baldwin dominated the playing time behind the plate.

Braves' Chadwick Tromp: On track for 26-man roster
Rotowire
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
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
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: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
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
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: Moves to minor-league camp
Rotowire
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
Atlanta re-signed Tromp to a minor-league contract Wednesday.

Braves' Chadwick Tromp: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
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.
