  • Notches rare steal
    Grandal went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: The steal was Grandal's first -- and first attempt -- since 2022, and it was just his 13th career theft. The catcher is off to a middling start to his season after missing the first month-plus due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot. He's slashing .211/.231/.395 with two home runs, eight RBI, four runs scored and a double over 39 plate appearances while adding a 1:7 BB:K. Grandal is handling the starting job at catcher for the Pirates over Joey Bart. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:30 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 1:18 pm

    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 Yesterday, 12:06 pm

  • Delivers as pinch hitter Saturday
    McCann entered Saturday's loss to the Royals as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and singled in his only plate appearance.

    Advice: McCann continues to see occasional starts behind the dish, but he'd gone a combined 1-for-10 with six strikeouts in the most recent three prior to Saturday's pinch-hit appearance. The rookie will continue to spell Shea Langeliers on occasion, and despite the recent skid, he still carries a .333 average and .975 OPS over 47 plate appearances.

  • Resting Sunday against southpaw
    Melendez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Melendez will get a break as Oakland puts JP Sears on the mound. Dairon Blanco will get the start in left field and bat seventh with Garrett Hampson in center field and Hunter Renfroe in right. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:08 am
