The 35-year-old backstop heads to the Angels after hitting .238 with a .739 OPS in 2024 with the Braves. He figures to be the backup behind Logan O'Hoppe.

The Braves have declined their club option on Travis d'Arnaud.

Fantasy Impact

The Braves originally stated they were going to pick up the veteran's option, but they have changed course. He will now hit the free agent market after posting a .238 average, with 15 home runs, and 48 RBI in 99 games last season.

Travis d'Arnaud is not in the starting lineup Sunday vs the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

d'Arnaud will get a breather after hitting a walk-off home run in Saturday's game. Sean Murphy will take over behind the plate and bat seventh.

Travis d'Arnaud went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Braves' 2-1 win over the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

His solo shot contributed crucially to the narrow victory, underscoring his ability to impact games despite a modest .236 batting average for the season. With 15 homers and 48 RBI through 97 games, d'Arnaud remains a viable fantasy option, primarily due to his power potential from the catcher position. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate limit his upside. Fantasy managers should continue to view d'Arnaud as a power-first option, suitable for filling gaps in the lineup rather than a cornerstone player.

The Braves have placed Travis d'Arnaud on the paternity list.

Fantasy Impact

d'Arnaud will likely miss the next three games and rejoin the team over the weekend. Chadwick Tromp has joined the team to serve as the backup catcher.
