Travis d'Arnaud - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Three hits in Tuesday's start D'Arnaud went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.

Impact While all three knocks were singles, it was still another strong performance from d'Arnaud. The veteran catcher has seen steady work behind Logan O'Hoppe over the last few weeks and has responded by batting .310 (9-for-29) since May 18 with two doubles, a homer and three RBI.

Hits clutch homer D'Arnaud went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an RBI single during Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.

Impact D'Arnaud lifted a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning off Anthony Banda, helping the Halos pull off the series sweep of their Los Angeles counterparts. The performance snapped a four-game hitting drought for d'Arnaud, who went 0-for-15 with seven strikeouts during that stretch. D'Arnaud is slashing .200/.250/.317 in 64 plate appearances this season while operating as Logan O'Hoppe's backup.

Making season debut D'Arnaud will start at catcher and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact D'Arnaud will enter the lineup for the first time this season after Logan O'Hoppe caught both of the Angels' first two contests. Though he posted a respectable .738 OPS over 341 plate appearances while working in a timeshare behind the dish with Sean Murphy in Atlanta in 2024, d'Arnaud will likely struggle to reach that level of playing time this season if O'Hoppe maintains health. The 25-year-old O'Hoppe is viewed as both the Angels' present and future behind the dish, so d'Arnaud may be in store for just a couple starts per week when the young backstop needs rest.

Gets two-year deal from Angels The Angels signed d'Arnaud to a two-year, $12 million contract Tuesday.

Impact Atlanta declined d'Arnaud's $8 million club option for 2025 last week, but the veteran catcher quickly found a multi-year pact with a new organization. It's not an ideal landing spot for fantasy since d'Arnaud will be second on the catching depth chart behind Logan O'Hoppe, but he could still play enough to be a viable option in deeper formats. D'Arnaud, who turns 36 in February, slashed .238/.302/.436 with 15 home runs over 99 regular-season games in 2024.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • Associated Press

Free agent after option declined Atlanta declined d'Arnaud's $8 million club option for 2025 on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact President of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said last month that the team planned to exercise d'Arnaud's option, but evidently feelings changed since then. The emergence of catching prospect Drake Baldwin could have played into the club's decision, as Baldwin is viewed as nearly major-league ready and could potentially be paired with Sean Murphy in 2025. D'Arnaud, who turns 36 in February, should be able to land a starting job somewhere after slashing .238/.302/.436 with 15 home runs over 99 games in 2024.

Impact Between that and Sean Murphy's $15 million salary, Atlanta will be paying a healthy $23 million to its catching duo in 2025. D'Arnaud usurped Murphy as the club's preferred starter down the stretch this season and finished with a .238/.302/.436 batting line and 15 home runs in 2024. He and Murphy are likely to share the catching duties pretty evenly in 2025.

Sitting for Game 2 D'Arnaud isn't in the lineup Wednesday for Game 2 of Atlanta's wild-card series against San Diego.

Impact After starting Game 1 of the series and going 1-for-4 with a double, d'Arnaud will now take a seat on the bench while Sean Murphy catches for Max Fried and bats eighth.

Resting Sunday D'Arnaud is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact D'Arnaud will get a breather Sunday after hitting a walk-off solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 win over Kansas City. Sean Murphy will start behind home plate and bat seventh.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Walk-off homer Saturday D'Arnaud went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Royals.

Impact D'Arnaud has had few big moments in September -- he's hitting just .163 (7-for-43) with two extra-base hits this month. The walk-off blast was his 15th homer of the year, making this the fourth season in his career he's reached that mark. The catcher has added a .236/.301/.439 slash line with 48 RBI, 39 runs scored, 16 doubles and one stolen base over 335 plate appearances. He has been evenly splitting time behind the dish with Sean Murphy lately.
