Braves Sign Former Dodgers Catcher
The Atlanta Braves have added to their catching depth, as they have signed Chuckie Robinson to a minor league contract.
The Atlanta Braves have bolstered their catching roster by signing catcher Chuckie Robinson to a minor league agreement. MLB.com's transactions log confirms this development. Robinson's contract with the Braves was signed just days after he was released by the Los Angeles Dodgers. This move positions Robinson to showcase his skills for the Braves, with the hope of securing his contract before the season concludes.
During his tenure with the Dodgers this season, Robinson made eight appearances, but failed to contribute significantly. He went without a home run, recorded one RBI, and maintained a .087 batting average. His 2025 season with the Dodgers was even less productive, with one at-bat resulting in an out.
Before his stint with the Dodgers, Robinson had been primarily at the Triple-A level. In 33 Triple-A games this season, he demonstrated more offensive capabilities, hitting five home runs, driving in 23 runs, and batting .229.
For the Braves, taking a chance on Robinson through this minor league deal could prove beneficial. The addition of an MLB-experienced catcher to their depth chart may provide them with a valuable asset, further strengthening their defense behind the plate.
