Baldwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Baldwin will take a seat for the second time in the series while the Royals send another lefty starter (Angel Zerpa) to the bump. Since Zerpa is serving as an opener and may not cover more than an inning or two, Baldwin could be a candidate to replace Sean Murphy at catcher or Marcell Ozuna at designated hitter once Zerpa exits the contest.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Baldwin will be given a breather in the series opener while the Royals send southpaw Rich Hill to the bump. Marcell Ozuna will get the nod at designated hitter in place of Baldwin, who hit .250 with five doubles, nine RBI and five runs while starting in each of Atlanta's previous 10 games.

Baldwin went 3-for-4 with two doubles, six RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 9-5 win over San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie backstop gave his team a 3-1 lead when he plated three runs on double in the first. Baldwin then returned in the fourth to knock home two more on a single before wrapping his career night by driving home one on a double in the sixth. Thanks to a solid .290/.358/.488 slash line with 11 homers, eight doubles, 39 RBI and 25 runs scored in 229 total plate appearances, Baldwin is emerging as a favorite for the NL Rookie of the Year Award.

Baldwin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin will get a chance to catch his breath Saturday after going 2-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's series opener. Sean Murphy will pick up another start at catcher and bat fourth.

Baldwin isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin will get a day off Thursday after going 2-for-5 with a three-run homer during Wednesday's win over the A's. Sean Murphy will get the nod to start at catcher instead while batting fourth.

Baldwin went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in a 9-2 win against the Athletics on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin helped Atlanta get off to a big start, mashing a 431-foot, three-run shot to center field in the first inning. It was his second homer over his past four games, a span in which he's gone 5-for-15 with five RBI and just two strikeouts. Baldwin is making a viable case for NL Rookie of the Year honors, posting a .278/.353/.489 slash line with 11 home runs, 31 RBI and 21 runs scored over 61 games.

Baldwin went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie backstop accounted for all of Atlanta's offense when he crushed a Charlie Morton fastball to right field in the sixth inning. Baldwin has hit a bit of a wall over the last couple weeks, going just 2-for-18 since June 24, but both hits left the yard. On the season, he's slashing .274/.348/.476 with 10 homers and 28 RBI, and Atlanta seems content to deploy a timeshare behind the plate with Baldwin and Sean Murphy, with each catcher starting five of the last 10 games.

Baldwin is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin started the first game of the series Monday but has now sat out each of the next two contests in favor of Sean Murphy. Murphy has started over Baldwin in four of the last five tilts, although Atlanta is facing a righty in Jose Soriano on Thursday for the first time during that span.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta is facing a left-handed starting pitcher (Yusei Kikuchi) for the fourth game in a row, and the left-handed-hitting Baldwin has now been on the bench for three of those contests. Manager Brian Snitker looks content to use a loose platoon at catcher between Baldwin and the right-handed-hitting Sean Murphy, who should continue to get most of the starts versus southpaws.

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

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Baldwin has a .973 OPS with two home runs and an 8:4 BB:K across his past eight contests, but he finds himself on the bench Sunday for Atlanta's second consecutive game while the Phillies send another lefty (Ranger Suarez) to the hill. Sean Murphy will start behind the plate and bat sixth in the series finale versus Philadelphia.
