Travis d'Arnaud News
Atlanta Braves catcher/designated hitter Travis d'Arnaud will make his long-awaited return to the lineup Wednesday versus Boston Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. It's the veteran's first game back since April 8 as he has once again dealt with concussion issues this season. The 34-year-old was off to a nice enough start with a .333 average to begin the season with three doubles across 33 trips to the plate. He didn't homer through his first eight games of the season and also failed to draw a walk despite striking out in just five of those 33 plate appearances. He will hit seventh and catch left-hander Dylan Lee Wednesday night.
Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud, who returned from the concussion injured list on Monday, is getting a breather on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox. The Braves had an off day on Monday, so d'Arnaud will have to wait until Wednesday to return to Atlanta's starting lineup. The veteran backstop hasn't played since suffering a concussion on April 8. Once he returns, the 34-year-old backstop should split playing time behind the plate with Sean Murphy and at designated hitter with Marcell Ozuna. He has 11 hits in his first 33 at-bats (.333) this year with three doubles and five RBI. Murphy is catching and hitting cleanup on Tuesday, while Marcell Ozuna is serving as the DH and batting seventh against Red Sox right-hander Nick Pivetta.
The Atlanta Braves activated catcher Travis d'Arnaud from the seven-day concussion injured list on Monday and optioned catcher Chadwick Tromp to Triple-A Gwinnett after Sunday's game in a corresponding move. d'Arnaud will return to Atlanta after missing almost a full month with his head injury. Expect the Braves to ease the 34-year-old backstop into action at designated hitter, but he will also return to splitting time behind the dish with Sean Murphy. d'Arnaud went hitless in three minor-league rehab games and will return to a .333 average (11-for-33) with three doubles, five RBI and three runs scored in his eight games before he landed on the injured list. d'Arnaud is looking for his first home run of 2023.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud remains a quality catching option for fantasy managers heading into the 2023 season. The veteran turned in a strong season for the National League East franchise in 2022, hitting .268 with a .319 on-base percentage and 18 home runs in 426 plate appearances. The home runs marked a career-high for the catcher, who unsurprisingly also turned in a strong barrel rate compared to his past metrics. For reference, d'Arnaud's barrel rate finished at 8.5%, the highest it's been in a full season in the last seven years. The veteran split time with fellow catcher William Contreras behind the plate during the 2022 campaign for the National League East club. And while Contreras is now in Milwaukee with the Brewers, the 33-year-old still won't be playing in a full-time role thanks to the arrival of Sean Murphy. Still, the lack of fantasy depth league-wide behind the plate positions d'Arnaud as a quality option for fantasy managers heading into drafts this spring.
