Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Sean Roby is a catcher for the Atlanta Braves who was placed on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 11, 2026) with a fractured left middle finger sustained during catcher's interference in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The injury occurred after Roby made his season debut on May 5 following offseason hip surgery. In his four games back, he went 1-for-14 with one run scored and six strikeouts. Medical reports indicate he will miss at least eight weeks due to the fracture. This is part of a concerning injury pattern for the 31-year-old veteran, who has struggled with durability issues in recent seasons, playing fewer than 95 games in both 2024 and 2025.
