Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin extended Atlanta's lead to 5-0 with a two-run blast in the third inning. The 24-year-old is riding a seven-game hit streak as he competes for time at catcher alongside Sean Murphy. On the season, he's hitting .238 with two homers, six RBI and two runs scored across his first 46 major-league plate appearances.

Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start at DH and batting sixth while Sean Murphy handled duties behind the plate, Baldwin got hold of a Jeff Hoffman splitter and lofted it down the left-field line in the ninth inning for his first career long ball. Baldwin has started only two of nine games at catcher since Murphy came off the IL, but with Marcell Ozuna nursing a sore hip, there could be more opportunities for Baldwin to get into the lineup in the short term. The 24-year-old rookie is batting .216 (8-for-37) through his first 10 big-league games with two RBI and a 4:10 BB:K.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker indicated Tuesday that Baldwin will still play quite a bit even after the return of Sean Murphy (rib) from the injured list, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game Atlanta reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy is making his season debut Tuesday versus the Phillies and is expected to start two of three games in the series. Baldwin will still play fairly often, though, especially in the immediate future as Murphy eases back into things. Atlanta could eventually option Baldwin back to Triple-A Gwinnett so that he can be a primary catcher again, but for now he'll be an active No. 2 catcher with the big club.

Baldwin is expected to serve as Atlanta's backup catcher after Sean Murphy (ribs) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and Chadwick Tromp was designated for assignment Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin served as Atlanta's primary backstop for the first week-plus of the campaign but struggled in his first taste of the big leagues, going 4-for-26 with a double, an RBI and three walks in seven games. The 24-year-old prospect seemed likely to return to the minors with Murphy ready to come off the IL, but Baldwin will instead retain his place on the big-league roster. That may not be a long-term move though, since Atlanta is likely to want Baldwin to get consistent reps behind the plate, and that's not expected to happen with Murphy poised to be a regular presence in the lineup.

Baldwin is not in Atlanta's starting lineup against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Baldwin started in Atlanta's last two games, but he'll rest Wednesday as the Dodgers send southpaw Blake Snell to the mound. Chadwick Tromp will serve behind home plate and bat eighth.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin will rest up after he started at catcher in each of Atlanta's first three games while going 1-for-11 with a walk. Chadwick Tromp will step in behind the dish for the finale in San Diego.

Baldwin went 0-for-3 with a walk in Thursday's loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Making his big-league debut, Baldwin guided Chris Sale to seven strikeouts in five innings but didn't make an impact at the plate. The 24-year-old catcher is expected to start for Atlanta as long as Sean Murphy (ribs) is sidelined, giving Baldwin at least a few weeks to prove he deserves to stick around on the 26-man roster.

Baldwin was reassigned to Atlanta's minor-league camp Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 2022 third-round draft selection slashed .247/.396/.284 across 101 plate appearances last season. The 21-year-old backstop will likely remain in Single-A to begin 2023.
