Productive in rout Baldwin went 1-for-2 with two RBI and two walks in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Mets.

Impact Baldwin drew multiple walks for the first time this season in a much-needed productive outing at the plate. The lefty-hitting backstop had gone just 3-for-25 (.120) with a lone RBI over his prior nine games to Thursday, but he's been able to hold down a strong-side platoon role at catcher with the righty-hitting Sean Murphy. Baldwin is slashing .287/.342/.462 with seven homers, four doubles and 21 RBI across 155 plate appearances on the year, while Murphy has a woeful .557 OPS over his last 48 at-bats.

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.

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.
