Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (forearm) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics. d'Arnaud will miss his second straight game due to a sore forearm, but the injury isn't considered to be very serious. The 33-year-old has a good chance to get back in there by the weekend. He's hitting .250/.288/.432 with six home runs, 23 RBI and 19 runs scored for Atlanta in 156 plate appearances over 38 games. William Contreras is behind the dish and is hitting sixth on Wednesday against A's left-hander Jared Koenig. Contreras will be making his fourth straight start and has gone 23-for-75 with seven home runs, 15 RBI and a stolen base in just 23 games for the Braves. Keep riding him in DFS.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud had a terrific night at the plate on Thursday as he launched a pair of homers in a 13-6 win over the Rockies. The veteran backstop took Austin Gomber deep for a two-run bomb in the third, and then followed that up with a grand slam off Gomber again in the fifth inning to finish the game going 3-for-5 with three runs and six RBI. D'Arnaud is now slashing a sturdy .262/.293/.454 with six homers, 19 runs, and 23 RBI through 36 games to give him one of the better fantasy lines for a catcher in the majors this season.

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.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud isn't in the lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Tony Gonsolin. The 33-year-old is batting .297 with a .316 on-base percentage and a pair of home runs in 38 plate appearances this season. Instead, it'll be Manny Pina starting at catcher and hitting eighth against Gonsolin and the Dodgers. Pina has a hit in 10 plate appearances so far this season. You're probably better off looking elsewhere for streaming options at catcher on Wednesday.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. The 33-year-old has been hitting well this season, so this appears to be a routine day off.

Fantasy managers should be able to find better streaming options than Pina for Saturday's slate.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds, according to MLB.com. The 33-year-old backstop started the first two games of the season and is looking to bounce back from 2021 when he slashed .220/.284/.388. William Contreras will be behind the plate and batting ninth. Contreras hasn't gotten many opportunities in his young career, playing just 56 games across two seasons thus far. He's slashed .225/.308/.405 with eight home runs over that time. However, he's shown power in the minor leagues, slugging .516 with nine home runs in just 44 games in Triple-A a year ago. Fantasy managers looking for a catcher to stream can pick up Contreras in deeper leagues.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud is not in Monday's starting lineup to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to MLB.com. The backstop is slashing .218/.283/.397 with seven home runs in 49 games this season. He's been a bit better since coming back from the injured list on August 11, slugging .446 with a .217 average in 26 games. William Contreras will take over behind the plate and bat eighth. His rookie season hasn't gone as planned, as he's put up a .653 OPS across 47 games. He should be left on the waiver wire in favor of a better catcher.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud looked like he was going to be the hero during Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He blasted a three-run go-ahead home run in the ninth inning off righty Tyler Rogers. It was his lone hit of the game, but obviously an important one. He finished the day 1-for-4 and the Braves ended up dropping the game 6-5. Nonetheless, d'Arnaud will take a .228/.290/.413 slash line with seven homers and 25 RBI into his next contest. He isn't a great fantasy option right now and probably shouldn't be trusted on a daily basis.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud will not be in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He went 0-for-5 during Wednesday's contest, so the Braves will give him the day off. Despite that performance, d'Arnaud has been fairly reliable at the plate since returning in August. William Contreras will start at catcher and hit eighth versus righty German Marquez on Thursday. DFS players can avoid this matchup since this isn't a favorable situation for Contreras.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud is on the bench for a Thursday matchup with the Washington Nationals and right-hander Erick Fedde.

Stephen Vogt is batting eighth and starting at catcher against the Nationals. The 36-year-old is batting .188 with a .277 on-base percentage and five home runs in 236 plate appearances this season. Fantasy managers are probably better off looking elsewhere for streaming help at catchers.

Vogt, who is hitting eighth against Colorado, is batting .186 with a .277 on-base percentage and five home runs in 232 plate appearances so far this year.

The Atlanta Braves reinstated catcher Travis d'Arnaud from the paternity list on Tuesday. Fellow catcher William Contreras was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. d'Arnaud landed on the paternity list on Saturday and wound up missing three games.

He has only played in 29 games this year and has slashed .236/.293/.406 with four home runs and 17 RBI.

To replace him on the active roster, the Braves recalled catcher William Contreras from Triple-A Gwinnett. d'Arnaud is slashing .236/.293/.406 with four homers, 17 RBI and nine runs scored over 29 games this season. Expect him to only be out a couple games, and in the meantime, Stephen Vogt will start behind the plate for Atlanta on Saturday.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (paternity) will be away from the team over the next few days. The 32-year-old inked a two-year extension with the organization on Friday. Also, he hit a two-run home run to help them get the 3-0 victory. Now, d'Arnaud will take a leave from the team for a couple of days. William Contreras has been recalled to give the Braves additional depth. He has struggled in his time with Atlanta this season, so don't expect there to be much value from Contreras right now.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud is having a fantastic Friday considering the events that have happened. First off, he signed a two-year extension worth $16 million. Then he went deep later in the day against the Baltimore Orioles. He would finish 2-for-3 at the plate with an important two-run home run in the 3-0 victory. After that performance, d'Arnaud is hitting .236/.293/.406 with four long balls and 17 RBI in 29 games this season. At first glance, d'Arnaud might not be the best option at catcher, but he is heating up at the plate and could be an asset for fantasy managers in need of a catcher.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud has signed a two-year contract extension with a third-year option on Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. d'Arnaud was due for free agency at this season's end prior to the new contract. He's been one of the best offensive catchers in baseball the past few years but has taken a bit of a step backward this season. He's slashing .223/.277/.369 with three home runs across just 28 games. However, since returning from the injured list on August 11, he's slugging .476. Fantasy managers should continue starting d'Arnaud in hopes that he can stay hot.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Stephen Vogt will do the catching and bat eighth in his place. This is the third time in six games that d'Arnaud is on the bench, as it is likely that manager Brian Snitker wants to keep his backstop fresh after missing over three months while on the injured list. He's having a down season, hitting .230 with three home runs, 14 RBI, and seven runs in 27 games. Although, since returning from the IL on August 11, he's hitting .278 with a .906 OPS. If d'Arnaud can keep that up, he will continue to be one of the best hitting catchers in baseball.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud has been heating up with the bat since his return from the injured list. On Monday, d'Arnaud went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI, and a walk in the 12-2 win over the Miami Marlins. It's going to take time for d'Arnaud to get completely back into the groove of things. However, this was a sign in the right direction with a nice two-hit performance. Fantasy managers in need of help at catcher should check and see if d'Arnaud is still somehow available on the waiver wire.
