Braves’ Sean Murphy out 4-6 weeks, opening door for top prospect Drake Baldwin to start at catcher
The Braves said the timetable is four to six weeks for Murphy’s return. A year ago, Murphy strained his oblique on Opening Day and missed two months. D’Arnaud stepped back into the primary role with Tromp as his backup while Murphy was out. Baldwin was in Double A at the time.
Drake Baldwin has no choice but to believe he would be ready if he begins the upcoming season as the Braves’ primary catcher.
Baldwin appears to be the favorite to begin the season as Atlanta's starting catcher with Sean Murphy (ribs) sidelined, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
