Braves' Drake Baldwin: Continuing to split reps
Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Baldwin and Sean Muphy have alternated starts behind the plate over the past 10 games, and that trend will continue after Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's contest. Murphy will bat sixth and do the catching for righty Spencer Strider in Sunday's series finale.

Braves' Drake Baldwin: Sitting against righty
Baldwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
The Diamondbacks are sending Merrill Kelly to the bump Wednesday, but the left-handed-hitting Baldwin will take a seat for the second time in Atlanta's last four matchups with a righty. After he previously appeared content to deploy Baldwin and Sean Murphy in a platoon behind the plate, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker may be favoring more of a timeshare arrangement between the two backstops to keep both fresh. Baldwin and Murphy have now alternated starts over the last six games.

Braves' Drake Baldwin: Launches sixth homer
Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.
Fresh off being named the NL Rookie of the Month for May, Baldwin got hold of a Zac Gallen cutter in the fourth inning and ripped it down the right-field line for his sixth homer of the season. The rookie has been splitting starts behind the plate with Sean Murphy of late, but Baldwin's been the more productive hitter with a .379/.400/.621 slash line, four homers and 10 RBI over his last 20 games.

Braves' Drake Baldwin: Taking seat for series finale
Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Braves' Drake Baldwin: Taking seat for early game
Baldwin is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Phillies.
With a .337 batting average and .912 OPS in 105 plate appearances on the season, Baldwin has emerged as Atlanta's preferred option behind the plate, despite the fact that Sean Murphy is in the third year of a six-year, $73 million extension and has performed well in his own right (.783 OPS) through the first two months of the campaign. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker seems to have settled on a platoon between the two backstops, so the left-handed-hitting Baldwin will give way to the right-handed-hitting Murphy behind the plate while southpaw Cristopher Sanchez takes the hill for the Phillies in Game 1. Baldwin will re-enter the lineup for the nightcap to face off against right-hander Zack Wheeler.

Braves' Drake Baldwin: Remains hot with homer Saturday
Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against Boston in a loss Saturday.
Baldwin hit one of three Atlanta homers off Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito, slugging a 416-foot two-run shot in the third inning. The rookie catcher has been scorching at the plate of late -- over his past four games, he's batting a sizzling .625 (10-for-16) with two home runs and five RBI. Baldwin's hot stretch extends even further -- through 11 games in May, he's batting .556 (15-for-27) with three long balls and eight RBI. His performance has led to Baldwin moving into a timeshare with Sean Murphy behind the plate, as the pair has alternated starts for Atlanta's past eight games.

Braves' Drake Baldwin: Playing time on upswing
Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Baldwin will start behind the plate Thursday against the Nationals and could see more playing time moving forward, David O'Brien of the Athletic reports.
In his most recent start in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Washington, Baldwin went 3-for-4 with his fourth home run of the season. Sean Murphy will get the nod behind the plate Wednesday, but as long as he's contributing with his bat, the rookie backstop should continue to see an equal share of the workload against right-handed pitching, although he has yet to get a start against a lefty. Through his first 25 big-league games, Baldwin is slashing .329/.382/.557 with a 6:13 BB:K.

Starting at catcher and batting fifth, Baldwin got Atlanta on the board by taking Michael Soroka deep in the fourth inning. The rookie is muscling his way into a timeshare behind the plate with Sean Murphy, and so far in May, Baldwin's batting .556 (10-for-18) with two doubles, two homers, four runs and five RBI.
