Player Outlook
He plays more than most backup catchers because he's more productive offensively than most of the other major leaguers who occupy that role, but Travis d'Arnaud is firmly positioned as the No. 2 option in Atlanta behind Sean Murphy. The same Sean Murphy who was signed last winter to a six-year, $73 million contract extension with a $15 million club option for 2029. In theory, d'Arnaud would make sense as an option for the designated hitter role, or at least a share of it, but he drew only six starts out of the DH spot in 2023 and simply doesn't have the juice to knock Marcell Ozuna from his full-time DH perch. The same Marcell Ozuna who's coming off a career-high 40 home runs. It's worth keeping d'Arnaud on a waiver-wire watch list, but he'll need injuries on the depth chart above him to take on one-catcher, mixed-league fantasy appeal in 2024.

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins. D'Arnaud looks to be getting a breather after he caught both of the first two games of the series versus the Marlins.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Goes yard again

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's win over Miami. D'Arnaud knocked a 365-foot home run off Ryan Weathers in the fourth inning to give him his fifth homer in four games. The recent hot stretch is a welcome sight for the veteran catcher as he was previously slashing .200/.250/.311 over 48 plate appearances. D'Arnaud should continue garnering the majority of playing time in Atlanta until Sean Murphy (oblique) returns.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Slugs three homers

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud went 3-for-4 with three home runs and six RBI during Friday's 8-3 victory over the Rangers. D'Arnaud hadn't registered a home run in his first 14 contests before going deep three times Friday -- the first time he's done so in one game since 2019. His offensive outburst propelled him from a .591 OPS to .819 through 52 plate appearances this season.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Resting Thursday

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets. D'Arnaud will effectively get two straight rest days; Wednesday's game was postponed, and he'll now hit the bench for Thursday's series finale while Chadwick Tromp draws the start behind the plate. While Sean Murphy (oblique) remains on the 10-day injured list, d'Arnaud should continue to see the bulk of the starts at catcher.

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Tuesday's game versus the White Sox, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Not in lineup Sunday

    Rotowire

Chadwick Tromp will step in behind the plate for Atlanta.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Swats first XBH of spring

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles. The veteran backstop has had a solid start to his spring, batting .333 (5-for-15) through seven games, but Wednesday's double was his first extra-base hit. With Sean Murphy locked into the starting role behind the plate and Marcell Ozuna an everyday designated hitter, d'Arnaud could see his workload decline a bit further this season -- he went from 426 plate appearances in 2022 to 292 in 2023. Atlanta also signed Adam Duvall to bolster its outfield, likely further locking in Ozuna as a DH.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Getting second straight start

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud is starting at catcher and batting sixth Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLDS versus the Phillies, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Starting Game 2 at catcher

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud will start at catcher and bat sixth Monday in Game 2 of the NLDS versus the Phillies. Sean Murphy got the call behind the dish in the Game 1 loss, but Atlanta will turn to d'Arnaud in Game 2 as they look to even the series. For what it's worth, d'Arnaud is 8-for-21 with one home run in 23 career plate appearances against Philadelphia's Game 2 starter, Zack Wheeler.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Goes deep in win

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Cardinals in an 8-5 win Thursday. Atlanta hit five homers in the contest, with d'Arnaud's two-run blast in the seventh inning being the only one that wasn't a solo shot. The long ball was the backstop's second in three games following a stretch of 17 contests during which he batted just .190 without leaving the park. D'Arnaud has 11 home runs on the season, reaching double digits in that category for the sixth time in 11 major-league campaigns.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Opens scoring with homer

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers. The catcher snapped a 17-game homer drought dating back to July 23 during which he hit a meager .190 with five doubles and nine RBI. For the season, d'Arnaud is up to a .246/.304/.441 slash line with 10 long balls, 34 RBI, 28 runs scored and 11 doubles through 58 contests while splitting time behind the plate with Sean Murphy.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Three doubles in comeback win

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud went 3-for-5 with three doubles and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Pirates. His third two-bagger of the night was the biggest, as d'Arnaud ripped a curveball from Pittsburgh closer David Bednar into left field to kick-start a three-run rally for Atlanta that erased a 6-5 deficit. The veteran catcher had been scuffling at the plate lately, and even after Tuesday's performance he's batting just .220 (11-for-50) since the beginning of July, but eight of those 11 hits -- five doubles and three homers -- have gone for extra bases and he's racked up 10 RBI.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Clubs ninth homer

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee. D'Arnaud's second-inning blast was his first hit since the All-Star break -- he'd gone 0-for-9 across his last three contests. The catcher logged multiple extra base-hits for the second time this season. He's slashing a solid .264/.333/.493 with nine homers, 24 RBI, 20 runs scored and six doubles through 159 plate appearances. While he's limited to a backup role behind Sean Murphy, d'Arnaud's numbers are enough to help in NL-only and two-catcher fantasy formats.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Signs deal for '24

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud signed a one-year, $8 million contract with Atlanta on Tuesday. The deal also includes an $8 million club option for 2025 with no buyout. The 34-year-old backstop has seen a drop in playing time since the arrival of Sean Murphy, but d'Arnaud has made the most of his opportunities with a .265/.338/.478 slash line through 151 plate appearances this season.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Belts eighth homer

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Rays. The veteran catcher made franchise history when he took Zach Eflin deep in the fourth inning, as it marked the 26th straight game in which Atlanta batters had hit at least one homer -- a new record. D'Arnaud heads into the All-Star break with eight homers on the season, including four in his last seven starts, but his playing time remains erratic behind Sean Murphy at catcher and Marcell Ozuna at DH.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Salvages day with late homer

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins. After going 0-for-2 with a walk in his first three plate appearances, d'Arnaud came through for fantasy managers in the eighth inning by clubbing a two-run homer off Andrew Nardi. The long ball was his seventh of the campaign and his fifth in his last 10 games. Through 34 appearances, d'Arnaud is slashing .279/.358/.492 while striking out at an 18.2 percent clip.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Returns to bench

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds. The 34-year-old started the past five games with Sean Murphy (hamstring) banged up and went 6-for-10 with two homers the past two days, but Murphy will rejoin the lineup for Sunday's series finale in Cincinnati. D'Arnaud has an .839 OPS this year but will now revert back to a secondary role since Murphy is healthy.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Goes deep in four-hit game

    Rotowire
    D'Arnaud went 4-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-6 win against Cincinnati. The second-through-fifth hitters in Atlanta's lineup each had multiple hits, and d'Arnaud led the charge with four knocks, including a second-inning solo shot that opened the scoring. It was the second four-hit game of the campaign for the backstop, with the other coming March 30 against Washington. D'Arnaud has started at catcher in five straight games while Sean Murphy (hamstring) has been on the shelf, and he's batted .333 (7-for-21) with two homers and four RBI over that span.
