Scouting Report: Alberto Baldonado
St Louis Cardinals | RP
Overall
Summary
Drake Baldwin, the reigning NL Rookie of the Year, was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday due to a strained right oblique muscle. Baldwin was having an MVP-caliber season through 48 games, hitting .303/.389/.543 with 13 home runs and a 160 wRC+ (8th among qualified hitters). The injury occurred during Monday's game against Miami. No definitive timetable for return has been provided, though oblique injuries typically sideline players for multiple weeks. This is a significant blow to the Braves' offense, as Baldwin had appeared in every game and served as both catcher and designated hitter.
Strengths
