Travis d’Arnaud's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Atlanta Braves reinstated catcher Travis d'Arnaud from the paternity list on Thursday and optioned catcher Chadwick Tromp to Triple-A Gwinnett after Wednesday's game in a corresponding move. The Braves have a scheduled day off on Thursday before they start a crucial four-game series on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. d'Arnaud was away from the team for three games earlier this week as he welcomed a new addition to the family. The 35-year-old veteran will return to sharing time behind the dish in Atlanta with Sean Murphy. He's having another solid season as a platoon catching option for the Braves in 2024 with 14 home runs and 46 RBI to go with a .245/.306/.456 slash line in 90 games played. d'Arnaud will now look to get going after picking up just three hits in 16 at-bats with seven strikeouts in five games in September.

The Atlanta Braves placed catcher Travis d'Arnaud on the paternity list on Monday and recalled catcher Chadwick Tromp from the minors in a corresponding move. Regular catcher Sean Murphy is behind the plate on Monday for right-hander Charlie Morton and is hitting fifth against Cincinnati Reds right-hander Nick Martinez. d'Arnaud will most likely miss the next three games against the Reds while welcoming a new addition to his family, but he should be back this weekend for a crucial weekend series versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 35-year-old veteran continues to share playing time with Murphy and has hit .245 (67-for-274) with 14 home runs and 46 RBI in 304 plate appearances over his 90 games. Tromp will likely start one of the three games against Cincy with d'Arnaud not around.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (wrist) is unlikely to play on Sunday after being hit by a pitch in his wrist on Saturday evening. David O'Brien of The Athletic reported that the backstop had his wrist wrapped up, but he is feeling "ok." Manager Brian Snitker expressed that they will probably stay away from using him in Sunday's game. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Sean Murphy to be slotted in the starting nine and be behind the dish. The 35-year-old went 4-for-16 in his previous five games, while Murphy has been hot at the plate, holding a strong .316 AVG during this span. Murphy is worth considering in DFS contests this afternoon as he is slated to face Los Angeles right-hander Jack Kochanowicz, who enters Sunday with a hefty 7.98 ERA.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud was one of two members of the team to smash two home runs in Wednesday afternoon's win over the hosting Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field, collecting his 10th and 11th homers of the campaign in the victory. d'Arnaud went back-to-back with first baseman Matt Olson with a tater to left field off Brewers ace Freddy Peralta to tie the game at two runs apiece in the fourth inning, later going back-to-back with Olson for the second time in the game to extend the Braves' lead to 6-2 in the eighth frame. Although his playing time is sporadic with starter Sean Murphy healthy, the 35-year-old veteran backstop hit a strong .370 over 46 at-bats in the month of July to go with four dingers, 10 RBI, and one stolen base. If Murphy ever were to go down again, d'Arnaud would rise to mixed-league fantasy relevance in all formats.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the hosting New York Mets and right-hander Tylor Megill. The veteran singled in his four trips to the plate on Friday but will give way to Sean Murphy behind the dish on Saturday. It's been a productive 2024 campaign for the 35-year-old who is hitting .257 with nine home runs and a .777 OPS across 69 games and 224 trips to the plate, production that grades out 15% above the league average, as per his 115 wRC+. d'Arnaud's production has earned him more reps behind the plate over Murphy who has taken a step back at the dish in 2024. Fantasy managers who scooped him up should be pleased with d'Arnaud's production at a cheap cost this season.
