    Travis d’Arnaud swatted a go-ahead solo home run in the eighth inning on Sunday, propelling the Angels to a 6-4 victory over the Dodgers and an improbable three-game sweep of their weekend series at Dodger Stadium.
    The Angels led 4-1 for most of the ballgame, but that lead was erased when Will Smith clobbered a two-out, three-run homer in the seventh inning. The 36-year-old backstop answered right back in the next half inning, victimizing Anthony Banda for a 401-foot (104.5 mph EV) solo shot that put the Halos ahead to stay. That blast was his first home run of the 2025 season. He finished the afternoon 2-for-3 plus a walk and is now hitting .200/.250/.317 with three RBI in his first 64 plate appearances.
  • LAA Catcher #14
    Logan O’Hoppe (illness) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Rangers.
    O’Hoppe’s absence comes as a moderate surprise after he expressed optimism ahead of Tuesday’s series opener that he’d be ready for Wednesday’s showdown. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be Travis d’Arnaud handling the catching duties for the third straight contest in his absence.
  • LAA Catcher #14
    Logan O’Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Rangers due to illness.
    O’Hoppe told reporters he’s feeling better ahead of Tuesday’s showdown against the Rangers, but he’s going to get an extra day off to rest and recover. Fantasy managers should anticipate him being ready for Wednesday’s contest. It’ll be veteran Travis d’Arnaud handling the catching duties in his place.
  • LAA Catcher #16
    Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports that the Rays had expressed interest in a reunion with Travis d’Arnaud before the 35-year-old backstop signed a two-year, $12 million contract with the Angels.
    The veteran catcher played in 92 games for the Rays during the 2019 campaign where he slashed .263/.323/.459 with 16 long balls and 67 RBI. While they were unsuccessful in bringing him back, it shows that the Rays are looking to improve behind the plate. Expect them to continue to explore the free agent market and the trade front for upgrades at the position.

    Angels signed C Travis d’Arnaud to a two-year, $12 million contract.
    The deal is now official. It’s a decent landing spot for d’Arnaud, who launched 15 homers in 99 contests last year for the Braves. The 35-year-old veteran backstop, who hit free agency last week after Atlanta declined his $8 million club option for 2025, figures to serve as starter Logan O’Hoppe’s primary caddy in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, his official departure paves a clear path for top prospect Drake Baldwin, who has looked impressive recently in the Arizona Fall League, to potentially make Atlanta’s season-opening roster.
  • FA Catcher #16
    Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the Angels are signing Travis d’Arnaud to a two-year, $12 million contract.
    Atlanta declined d’Arnaud’s $8 million club option for 2024, and while the veteran catcher won’t get quite as much in 2025, he secures a multi-year deal with a (relatively) similar AAV. he hit .238/.302/.436 with 15 homers last year while spelling Sean Murphy and seeing time as the designated hitter. With Logan O’Hoppe behind the plate, Murphy will likely see a similar role with the Angels, and while his eligibility behind the plate makes him a decent option, he’s not joining a lineup that’s going to provide much chance for quality run production.

    Braves declined their $8 million option for 2025 for C Travis d’Arnaud.
    Considering Sean Murphy battled a wrist injury and put together a poor 2024 season, it’s surprising that the club would let d’Arnaud move on. However, the 25-year-old did hit just .238/.302/.436 with 15 home runs in 99 games, so perhaps the Braves feel that they can get that production elsewhere. There is still a chance the Braves could try to bring d’Arnaud back later in the offseason, but this could also be good news for Braves catching prospect Drake Baldwin, who is coming off a strong season and could be on the MLB roster next season.
  • ATL Relief Pitcher #49
    The Braves plan to exercise the contract options of Aaron Bummer, Travis d’Arnaud and Marcell Ozuna, according to MLB.com’s Mark Bowman.
    Ozuna’s $16 million option had become an easy call, and expectations were always that d’Arnaud would be back, whether it was through the $8 million option year or not. Bummer was the tougher call at $7.25 million. He pitched 55 1/3 innings with a 3.58 ERA this year.
  • ATL Catcher #16
    Travis d’Arnaud will start behind the dish for the Braves in Game 1 of the doubleheader.
    With two games on tap, it’s highly likely the Braves will have Sean Murphy catch game two, but it will be d’Arnaud, who hit a walk-off home run on Saturday night, who gets the start in game one. The rest of the Braves lineup is exactly as it has been for the last week.
  • ATL Catcher #16
    Travis d’Arnaud hit a walk-off homer to give Atlanta a 2-1 win over the Royals on Saturday.
    It’s always big to hit a walk-off homer. To hit one in the second-to-last game when your team is battling for a playoff spot? Little different. It has not been the best year for d’Arnaud, but he has shown there’s still pop in his bat with 15 homers, and this one should count for six if the world was fair. Atlanta has total control of its destiny for earning one of the final two spots in the Wild Card round.
