Tue Jul 18 202319:36Travis d'Arnaud Signs One-Year Deal With Braves
The Atlanta Braves signed catcher Travis d'Arnaud to a one-year, $8 million deal for the 2024 season, and it includes an $8 million club option for the 2025 season with no buyout. Now that young backstop Sean Murphy is in Atlanta, d'Arnaud, 34, hasn't been playing as much in 2023. However, he's still been plenty productive with the bat by hitting .265 (36-for-136) with eight home runs, five doubles, 23 RBI and 19 runs scored in 151 trips to the plate over 38 games. The veteran backstop can still be useful in two-catcher leagues, even though the playing time has taken a bit of a hit this year. d'Arnaud was a first-time All-Star in 2022, when he hit .268/.319/.472 with a career-high 18 long balls and 60 RBI in 107 games.

Sat Jun 17 202309:37Travis d'Arnaud Notches Two-Homer Outburst
Atlanta Braves catcher/designated hitter Travis d'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 8-1 beatdown of the Colorado Rockies. It was the 34-year-old's first multi-HR effort of the year. d'Arnaud is now slashing a respectable .281/.340/.461 with four homers and 14 RBI this season, but he has scarcely played since returning from the injured list on May 10. However, d'Arnaud holds a decent mix of standalone and contingency value. The former Silver Slugger tends to find himself in Atlanta's heart of the order when he does get the nod, making him a plug-and-play fantasy option in those cases. d'Arnaud would also become an immediate waiver wire add in the event that Marcell Ozuna or Sean Murphy go down.

Mon May 29 202318:28Travis d'Arnaud Absent Again Monday
Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud is once again missing from the club's starting lineup Monday night as they open up a series with the lowly Oakland A's. The veteran backstop hasn't seen game action since Friday, when he doubled and scored a run as part of a two-hit effort against the Phillies. The reason behind his continued absence is unclear, but with fellow catcher Sean Murphy enjoying a massive season at the plate, d'Arnaud has seen his playing time dip while he also missed significant time with a concussion. The 34-year-old is hitting .317 on the season, albeit with just one homer and four doubles across 62 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.

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.

Fri May 5 202316:30Travis d'Arnaud Beginning Rehab Assignment Friday
Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (concussion) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday. After some struggles with concussion symptoms after suffering a head injury almost a month ago, d'Arnaud has been cleared by doctors to start playing in minor-league games. As long as the 34-year-old doesn't see a return of concussion symptoms, specifically headaches, he should be ready to return from the injured list sometime next week. He was hitting a strong .333 (11-for-33) with three doubles and five RBI in eight games before his injury. When d'Arnaud returns to the Braves, he'll be splitting time behind the dish with Sean Murphy and could also be eased in as the designated hitter.

Tue May 2 202315:23Travis d'Arnaud Continues To Recover From Concussion
Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (concussion), who has had four concussions, remains on the injured list while recovering from his latest head injury on April 8 during a collision at the plate. d'Arnaud has dealt with serious headaches, and the Braves aren't pushing him to get back sooner than recommended. He's getting closer to a return, but there have still been some difficult days. The good news is catcher Sean Murphy hit two home runs and had a career-high six RBI in Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Mets on Monday, and he's caught 16 of 20 games since d'Arnaud's injury. The 34-year-old d'Arnaud could be back in a week or two, although there remains no timetable for his return. Once he's back, he figures to split catching duties with Murphy in Atlanta. He'll be cleared by doctors when he's symptom-free during and after full workouts.

Sun Apr 23 202300:38Travis d'Arnaud Takes Batting Practice On Saturday
According to Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (head) took part in batting practice ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Astros. He hit in the cages on Friday, so he's moving in the right direction after remaining out of the lineup for the last two weeks because of a concussion. The 34-year-old had played well before going on the shelf, posting a .355/.355/.452 slash line with 11 hits and five RBI in 33 at-bats. But until d'Arnaud is 100%, Sean Murphy will be behind the dish and has played well enough to warrant fantasy consideration.
