Out of Tuesday's lineup Baldwin is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Sitting against righty Baldwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact 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.

Launches sixth homer Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact 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.

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

Impact After taking a seat for Friday's series opener while the Red Sox sent right-hander Lucas Giolito to the hill, the Baldwin will take a seat against a southpaw (Garrett Crochet) this time around. Sean Murphy will get the nod at catcher Sunday, but Baldwin is still expected to see the bulk of the starts as the left-handed-hitting option of what appears to be a loose platoon between the two backstops.

Taking seat for early game Baldwin is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Phillies.

Impact 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.

Taking seat Friday Baldwin is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.

Impact Baldwin has received the lion's share of starts at catcher against right-handed pitching lately, but he will begin Friday's festivities on the bench as the Padres send righty Nick Pivetta to the hill. Sean Murphy is catching and batting sixth for Atlanta.

Remains hot with homer Saturday Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against Boston in a loss Saturday.

Impact 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.

The rookie catcher is 14-for-23 (.608) with two home runs, two doubles, six RBI and four runs scored across 10 games.

Playing time on upswing Baldwin is set to see more playing time, David O'Brien of the Athletic reports.

Impact Atlanta manager Brian Snitker indicated Baldwin would be back behind the plate Thursday after he went 3-for-4 with his fourth homer of the season Tuesday, with Sean Murphy getting the nod behind the plate Wednesday. 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.
