Drake Baldwin made the Opening Day roster partially because Sean Murphy was temporarily sidelined. However, upon Murphy's return, he has performed exceptionally well, significantly reducing Baldwin's chances for regular gameplay.

While he might only see action sporadically, suggestions about utilizing Baldwin in late-game situations are being considered as a potential solution to increase his involvement.
