Also on Friday, news came out that a former Braves player had been designated for assignment by the Baltimore Orioles.

Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun wrote: “Anthony Nunez and Jeremiah Jackson are back. Orioles place Ryan Helsley on the 15-day injured list after his elbow injury, use his IL designation to bring back Jackson before his 15 days in Norfolk, and add Nunez to the bullpen. Chadwick Tromp DFA’d, ending 3-catcher system.”

Tromp appeared in just one game for the Orioles.

He spent the first two years of his career with the San Francisco Giants.

The 31-year-old has had two different stints with the Braves and Orioles.

In total, Tromp has spent part of five years with the Braves.

He is batting .225 with 45 hits, six home runs, 27 RBIs and 20 runs in 80 career MLB games.

It will be interesting to see if another team claims him for catching depth.
