Catcher

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d’Arnaud made his way back into the team’s starting lineup on Friday after being given a day off on Wednesday. The 33-year-old veteran was penciled in to catch and bat sixth against the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to the Braves’ official Twitter account. D’Arnaud’s return to the lineup comes as no surprise, as he has been one of the Braves’ most consistent and productive hitters this season.

In a move that may have caught some fantasy baseball owners off guard, the Philadelphia Phillies opted to rest their starting catcher J.T. Realmuto for Saturday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 31-year-old Realmuto has been one of the most durable catchers in Major League Baseball over the last few seasons. However, he exited Friday night’s contest early, leading to speculation that he may have been dealing with a minor injury or just needed a routine day off.
