Braves Trade Heim to Athletics for Cash

The trade comes as catcher Sean Murphy is expected to be activated from the injured list, leaving Heim as the odd man out from the Braves' 26-man roster. Despite Heim performing well in backup duty with a .231/.311/.410 line across 45 plate appearances, the Braves needed roster flexibility due to injuries in the outfield.

With Drake Baldwin and Murphy expected to play nearly every day, the club opted against carrying three catchers. In case of injuries to Baldwin or Murphy in the coming weeks, the Braves would likely call upon Triple-A Gwinnett's Chadwick Tromp to serve as the backup catcher. akupunkturabielsko.pl
