Chadwick Tromp did not have many appearances with the Atlanta Braves this season, but he at least had one memorable moment, which came when he hit a walk-off single against the Washington Nationals in May.
Aside from that, Chadwick Tromp had spent parts of five seasons with the Atlanta Braves since 2022.
They’ve added Chadwick Tromp to the roster and DFA’d Michael Siani. They’ll go with Samuel Basallo, Sam Huff and Tromp for now.
Tromp is joining the team at a good time with the hopes of being great again.
Since 2022, Tromp has appeared in at least one game with the Atlanta Braves in each season. However, he’s also found a home with the Baltimore Orioles, who have signed him and selected him multiple times to their MLB roster.
Tromp recorded 102 total at-bats with the Braves over parts of five seasons, and he batted .236 with 13 RBI and 10 doubles.

Chadwick Tromp has played in seven total seasons in his MLB career. He debuted with the San Francisco Giants in 2022.
He is a lifetime .218 hitter over 197 career at-bats with six home runs, 12 doubles, and an OPS+ of 62. He’s always been known as a backup catcher option.
Tromp spent a brief stint with the Orioles in 2025, where he hit .188 in 16 ABs.
NBC Sports George Bissell wrote (on 6/22):
“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.”
