Braves getting creative with catching options

The Atlanta Braves’ catcher position has been a revolving door.

Primary catcher Drake Baldwin missed nearly a month due to a strained right oblique. Fellow catcher Sean Murphy has appeared in only four games this season as he missed the first six weeks due to a right hip labral tear and returned to the injured list due to a fractured left middle finger. 

Meanwhile, the Braves have cycled through six other catchers in an attempt to find some consistency behind the plate.

Another name may be added to that revolving door. Mark Bowman of MLB.com reported that utility man Kyle Farmer will see time behind the plate when he begins his rehab assignment on Wednesday.
