The Baltimore Orioles selected the contract of catcher Chadwick Tromp on Monday, while utility player Cooper Hummel was designated for assignment.

The move comes one day after Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman left a game against the Boston Red Sox after taking a foul ball off his mask. Rutschman was not in the Orioles’ starting lineup Monday.

Tromp, 30, was hitless in five at-bats over two games for the Atlanta Braves over the first week of the season. He was designated for assignment by the Braves but elected free agency over an assignment to Triple-A. He signed with the Orioles on April 13.

In parts of six major league seasons with the San Francisco Giants (2020-21) and Braves (2022-25), Tromp is a career .224 hitter with five home runs and 22 RBIs in 61 games.

Hummel, 30, did not play in a major league game for the Orioles. He is a career .159 hitter in parts of the past three seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros.
