Scouting Report: Deivis Nadal
Colorado Rockies | CF
Overall
Summary
Drake Baldwin, the Atlanta Braves' 25-year-old catcher and reigning NL Rookie of the Year, was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 19, 2026, due to a strained right oblique muscle sustained during a game against the Miami Marlins. Baldwin was having an MVP-caliber season with a .303/.389/.543 slash line and 13 home runs through 48 games (216 plate appearances). His 160 wRC+ ranked 8th among all qualified hitters. The injury is expected to sideline him for more than the mandatory 10 days, with oblique strains typically requiring multi-week recovery periods. The Braves are also without veteran catcher Sean Murphy (fractured finger), forcing the team to rely on backup catchers Chadwick Tromp and Sandy León.
Strengths
- MVP-caliber offensive production (.303/.389/.543)
