The brave claim Chuckie Robinson According to a report by David O’Brien of Athleticism, the Dodgers are exempt. Robinson was selected as Triple A Gwinnett, not added to the active roster, right-handed Daysbel Herandnez He was transferred to the 60-day injury list, making room for Robinson in the 40-man lineup.
Robinson, 30, has only 52 games since his major league debut with the Reds in 2022. So far, he hasn’t gotten much time on this point, as his career is .131/.161/.192 in the major leagues on the 138 board. This performance gives him a WRC+ of -4, which means he is 104% worse than the league average batsman. While the catcher’s offensive contribution is not as standard as the rest of the diamond, Robinsion was a non-factor on the board even in the years before the NL adopted the DH rule.
Given his bland offensive ability, Robinson can simply get any attention at the major league level, which seems shocking. He is a highly respected defender behind the plate, carving a niche for himself. He is considered a strong game caller and even declared as a top defensive player by Baseball America in 2020. That elite glove is enough to make Robinson a pretty attractive candidate to be the depth catcher behind a given club’s regular tandem. This year, Robinson and the Dodgers broke into the profession because Will Smith and Dalton rush All were injured, let Robinson join Ben Rotwitter During the club’s catch, the ball was connected for a moment. He also helped fill the injured starter Taylor Stephenson In the 2022 debut season, the Reds.
Now, Robinson is in Atlanta, it seems that he may be backed up by task help Drake Baldwin and Sandy Leon In the final weeks of the season. The Brave has one of the best catches in baseball when it’s healthy, with Baldwin and Sean Murphy Share time behind the plate, but Murphy recently underwent surgery to leave the club without the third-string receiver behind Leon in the 40-man lineup. If Leon or Baldwin gets injured, the brave will be forced to turn Jason delays (Who is not currently in the 40-man lineup) or find an option outside the organization. It is unclear whether the Braves are interested in bringing Robinson into the offseason in some capacity or whether he is just a piece of fill depth to help lift the catcher position as Murphy recovers. Even if the situation ends up being the case, Robinson’s strong defensive reputation should make minor league deals fairly easy with one organization or another.
