Chadwick

Tromp

Tromp will test the free agent waters rather than accept an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk. The well-traveled 31-year-old passed through waivers after being removed from Baltimore’s roster last week.

Tromp has played in 21 MLB games this year between the Braves and Orioles, hitting .163/.160/.184 in 51 plate appearances. The Orioles decided they’d rather trade for Jake Rogers. If Tromp clears waivers, he can elect free agency.

Basallo was removed from Sunday’s game with shoulder discomfort after a swing, and the Orioles waited to put him on the injured list because fellow catcher Adley Rutschman (wrist) was already there. Now, the team will be without its top two catchers for at least the next 10 days, which means Sam Huff and Chadwick Tromp will split the catching duties for Baltimore.

Basallo takes a seat for the second straight contest due to right shoulder discomfort. The 21-year-old expressed confidence to reporters that he’ll be able to manage the issue and avoid a trip to the injured list after the issue flared up over the weekend. The Orioles can’t really afford to take any chances with Adley Rutschman (wrist) on the injured list already. It’ll be Chadwick Tromp behind the plate at Fenway Park on Tuesday night, weather permitting.

Tromp returns for another stint with the Orioles while starter Adley Rutschman is sidelined with wrist inflammation. Samuel Basallo is dealing with a shoulder issue, which means Tromp is likely to see some time behind the plate this week. He’s appeared in 13 games between the Orioles and Braves this season.

Tromp is sticking around as emergency organizational depth after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 31-year-old backstop was designated for assignment last week after going 2-for-3 with an RBI in his lone start for the Orioles after being brought back on June 22.

The Orioles brought back Jeremiah Jackson from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, so Tromp gets the boot to make room on the active roster since the O’s were carrying a third catcher. The 31-year-old backstop is likely to slide through waivers unclaimed and will have the option of continuing to serve as extra depth for the O’s or to explore what’s out there on the open market.

Basallo takes a seat following three consecutive starts behind the dish. The 21-year-old prodigy is hitting just .183 (13-for-71) with three homers in 21 games since the start of June. It’ll be Chadwick Tromp handling the catching duties on Saturday in his place.

Baltimore is going to roll with three catchers on their active roster with Adley Rutschman on the injured list. It’s worth noting that Samuel Basallo is out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Angels, but there hasn’t been any indication that he’s dealing with any sort of physical issue besides the usual bumps and bruises. It’ll be Sam Huff handling the catching duties on Monday night with Tromp in a backup role.

Tromp fortifies Baltimore’s catching depth in an emergency capacity with both Adley Rutschman (hamstring) and Samuel Basallo (wrist) dealing with injury situations. Neither one has required a trip to the injured list, but the organization’s catching depth has suddenly become perilously thin with Sam Huff their only healthy backstop at the moment. Tromp got into 12 games for the Braves earlier this season.
