Tromp signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Wednesday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports. Tromp elected free agency Saturday after being DFA'd by Atlanta and will now return to the Orioles, with whom he spent a brief period of time last season. The 31-year-old backstop owns just a .578 OPS through 87 plate appearances at Triple-A this year, though he could be called up to the majors soon with Adley Rutschman (hamstring) and Samuel Basallo (wrist) both battling injuries.

Chadwick Tromp: Breaking News
Enters open market
Tromp cleared waivers Saturday and elected free agency, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports. Atlanta DFA'd Tromp on Thursday, and instead of accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett, the 31-year-old will test his value in free agency. He's slashed just .169/.253/.325 across 87 plate appearances in the minors this season, so he will almost certainly have to settle for another minor-league deal.
DFA'd by Atlanta
Atlanta designated Tromp for assignment Thursday. Tromp has gone 5-for-25 with a 0:7 BB:K in 12 games since being added to the roster last month. Atlanta is adding Austin Wynns to the roster to pair with Sandy Leon as the club patches its catching corps together until Drake Baldwin (oblique) is ready to return from the injured list.
