Sean Murphy will miss 4-6 weeks because of a cracked rib.

Makes losing D'Arnaud sting even more.

I'm so excited to watch the injury bug strike the Braves again this year!

A cracked rib hurts a whole lot. I could barely move with screaming in pain when I did it. Then the screaming hurt too. It was a vicious cycle. Is our backup still Tromp?

Saw that today. Man that guy can't stay healthy.

I think we will know nothing about the Braves until Strider and Riley return around opening day and Acuna in mid-late May. It may be June before this team (if healthy otherwise) shows what it can do.

Bunch of guys we've never heard of will be playing until then.

I'm also gonna put this out there now: If Acuna gets HBP when he returns as he has been HBP consistently over the last few years, then I'm hoping we have a few goons on the squad to deal out NHL-style retribution.

Yes, Tromp is the current backup.

This is what Reddit folks on r/Braves are saying:

There is a lot of excitement building for Drake Baldwin, Braves top prospect. He is raising eyebrows so far this spring and has a shot to grab the starting spot, and Tromp would remain the backup. If Baldwin is not ready though, the duties would probably be split between Tromp, Casali and/or León.
