Tromp signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Tromp bounced between Atlanta, Baltimore and Boston in 2025 and slashed .191/.256/.266 with 20 RBI and 17 runs scored across 207 plate appearances in Triple-A. Now back in the Peach State, the 30-year-old backstop will presumably open the season at Triple-A Gwinnett and act as organizational depth.

The Red Sox signed Tromp to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tromp elected free agency last week after being removed from the Orioles' 40-man roster, but he will stay in the division. The veteran backstop will give Boston some experienced depth at the catcher position.

Tromp (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday and elected free agency instead of an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Orioles appeared to not have room on the 26-man roster for Tromp due to Adley Rutschman (oblique) being close to a return from the IL. Rather than stay in the organization in Triple-A, Tromp opted to hit the free-agent market. Now that he's fully recovered from a lower back strain, the 30-year-old should garner interest from teams looking to add backstop depth. Tromp is slashing .250/.330/.370 with three home runs and 12 RBI across 103 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

Tromp (back) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Delmarva on Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tromp resumed baseball activities shortly before the All-Star break, and he's been cleared to see game action. The catcher has been idle since July 1 after sustaining a lower back strain. He could be back with the big club before the end of July.

Tromp (back) has resumed doing full baseball activities, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tromp has been sidelined since July 1 due to a lower back strain but appears to be progressing well. He is on track to be the first of Baltimore's four injured catchers to return, as Maverick Handley (concussion) is still at least a week away from swinging a bat, Gary Sanchez (knee) will miss at least two months and Adley Rutschman (oblique) is only hitting off a tee. Regardless, Tromp still has multiple hurdles to clear before being activated and won't be back until after the All-Star break.

Orioles manager Tony Mansolino said Sunday that Tromp (back) hasn't been cleared to resume baseball activities, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tromp is one of four Orioles catchers on the 40-man roster who resides on the injured list. Like Tromp, Maverick Handley (concussion) and Gary Sanchez (knee) are also shut down from activities, while Adley Rutschman (oblique) has resumed running and taking swings off a tee but still appears to be weeks away from a return. The Orioles appear set to get by with Jacob Stallings and Alex Jackson as their catching tandem through the All-Star break, and likely to begin the second half.

The Orioles placed Tromp (back) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Tromp exited Monday night's game against the Blue Jays with lower back tightness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Orioles selected Tromp's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday. He'll start at catcher and bat ninth in the Orioles' series opener versus the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
With Adley Rutschman (oblique) and Maverick Handley (concussion) on the injured list, Tromp will serve as the Orioles' backup catcher behind Gary Sanchez. Tromp is a career .219/.229/.375 hitter over parts of six major-league seasons.
