Travis d'Arnaud News
Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud is back in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Boston Red Sox and right-handed starter Garrett Whitlock. The veteran is batting sixth against the Red Sox after getting the day off on Monday. So far this season, d'Arnaud is batting .299 with a .325 on-base percentage and a pair of home runs in 80 plate appearances. Entering play on Tuesday, he was hitting .306 with a .342 on-base percentage in his last 38 plate appearances. Despite the tough matchup with Whitlock, fantasy managers should definitely keep d'Arnaud in their lineups on Tuesday.
Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 33-year-old will get the day off after starting three straight games. He is slashing .299/.325/.455 with two home runs, 13 RBI, and 11 runs over 20 games in 2022. William Contreras is batting ninth and will draw the start at catcher on Sunday. Contreras is mainly an option in NL-Only league formats and can be used as a streamer in daily lineups.
Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud continued his hot start to the season in Monday's 5-2 win over the Mets, going 3-for-4 with a single, two doubles, and three RBI. The veteran has gotten off to a hot start after a disappointing 2021 season and is now slashing .333/.354/.508 with two home runs and 11 RBI. Catcher is always a shallow fantasy position, and d'Arnaud could find himself in the higher ranks of it early if he can continue to produce in the Braves' strong lineup.

After his tenure as a Met was cut short, it was good to see d'Arnaud bounce back for the remainder of the 2019 season and land himself a nice contract with the Braves. The Braves definitely weren't expecting the type of hitter they ended up getting from him in 2020, but they aren't complaining. Everything just went right at the plate for d'Arnaud last season. After a career that was pretty much average at the plate, d'Arnaud out of nowhere posted a 145 wRC+, with the Statcast stats to back it up. He was fourth overall in average exit velocity, second in hard-hit rate, and had a top-30 xwOBA. He was fantastic, but here is where we pump the brakes a bit. It was just 184 plate appearances in 44 games and should no way be considered the expectation for him going forward. However, expectations are raised due to a performance like that. d'Arnaud is a hitter that hits a lot of line-drives and his barrel rate has trended up each year since 2016 (excluding an injury-lost 2018). These are things that would suggest he can still be one of the better offensive catchers in the game. He should get everyday playing time in the middle of the order for the Braves, and continue to be well regarded among the league's catchers. He's currently being drafted as the six catcher off the board, and that should be a good spot to place him.
