    • Not in Thursday's lineup
      D'Arnaud is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

      Advice: He started the first two contest of the series, but with Thursday's finale being a day game, d'Arnaud will get a breather. Atlanta will go with Chadwick Tromp as its catcher for starting pitcher AJ Smith-Shawver. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:53 am
       
    • Homers in first rehab game
      Murphy (oblique) played seven innings at catcher and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run Tuesday in his first rehab game for Triple-A Gwinnett.

      Advice: In his first game since suffering a Grade 1 left oblique strain in his season debut with Atlanta on March 29, Murphy had been scheduled to catch just four innings, but he ended up staying behind the dish longer than expected. The 29-year-old backstop didn't exhibit any rust with the bat or in the field Tuesday, as he threw out the only baserunner that attempt to steal off of him and provided the highlight of the night with a 449-foot blast off the batter's eye in center field in his first at-bat. According to David O'Brien of The Athletic, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said that Murphy will be off Wednesday before starting behind the plate again for Gwinnett on Thursday. Snitker added that Murphy is also expected to get another start for Gwinnett as a designated hitter, so Atlanta is seemingly planning on having Murphy remain on assignment through at least Friday before bringing him back from the 10-day injured list.

    • Sean Murphy (oblique) homers in rehab contest
      Sean Murphy (oblique) homered on Tuesday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Gwinnett.

      Advice: Murphy caught seven innings behind the plate and also threw out a runner attempting to steal second base in this one. The 29-year-old backstop looked ready to return to the majors in this one, but he’ll presumably get at least a couple more contests under his belt before heading back to Atlanta.

    • 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.

      Advice: 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.

    • d’Arnaud returns with three hits Monday
      Travis d’Arnaud went 3-for-4 with an RBI against the Padres on Monday.



      Advice: D’Arnaud took a foul ball off the mask in last Friday’s game and subsequently sat out of Saturday and Sunday’s games. He was cleared of a possible concussion and returned to the lineup with a three-hit game. D’Arnaud’s time as Atlanta’s primary catcher might be coming to a close soon as the injured Sean Murphy is nearing a rehab assignment.

    • Back in lineup for second game
      D'Arnaud (head) will catch and bat fifth in the second game of Monday's doubleheader versus the Padres.

      Advice: D'Arnaud hasn't played since being removed from last Friday's game due to dizziness, but he passed concussion tests and is back in the lineup following a couple days of rest. He has an .836 OPS with five home runs over 36 games with Atlanta this season. Rotowire.com Monday, 1:50 pm
       
    • Returning for Monday's nightcap
      D'Arnaud (head) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Padres but is expected to start behind the plate in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

      Advice: The veteran catcher reported dizziness after taking a foul ball off his mask Friday, but he's avoided a concussion and will return to action for Monday night's series finale. Chadwick Tromp is starting behind the plate Sunday and will do so again for Game 1 of the twin bill. Rotowire.com Sunday, 1:39 pm
       
    • Travis d’Arnaud (head) to start on Monday night
      The Braves plan to start Travis d’Arnaud behind the dish for the nightcap of Monday’s doubleheader against the Padres.

      Advice: The 35-year-old backstop took a foul ball off his mask on Friday night and wound up missing the remainder of the weekend. Expect Chadwick Tromp to start once again for the first game on Monday. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:18 pm
       
    • Travis d’Arnaud (head) out Sunday vs. Padres
      Travis d’Arnaud is not in the lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Padres.

      Advice: It will be another day off for d’Arnaud after being removed from Friday’s game. Chadwick Tromp will get the start behind the plate in his absence. For now, d’Arnaud should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Sunday, 12:06 pm
