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.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Not in Monday's lineup

    D'Arnaud is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals. Sean Murphy is making his long-awaited return from the injured list Monday, so d'Arnaud will begin this one on the bench. It's likely that Murphy won't shoulder too big of a workload initially, so expect d'Arnaud to continue seeing plenty of reps. The 35-year-old should retain value in two-catcher leagues even with his playing time expected to dip.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Not in Thursday's lineup

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Three hits in nightcap

    D'Arnaud went 3-for-4 with an RBI in the second game of Monday's doubleheader split with the Padres. The veteran catcher sat out Sunday's game and Monday's matinee after taking a foul tip off his facemask Friday, but d'Arnaud cleared the concussion protocol and looked none the worse for wear in his return to the lineup. He's slashing .274/.350/.509 through 120 plate appearances this season with five homers and 17 RBI, but with Sean Murphy (oblique) expected to begin a rehab assignment this week, d'Arnaud's stint as Atlanta's No. 1 backstop could come to a close by the end of the month.

  • Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Goes yard again

    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.
