ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves have returned catcher Travis d’Arnaud from his rehab assignment and reinstated him from the injured list.
D’Arnaud, in Wednesday’s lineup batting seventh against Cincinnati, missed 86 games with a left thumb sprain. He was placed on the injured list May 2.
“I’m super excited,” d’Arnaud said. “It’s been a long three and a half months. To come back with the guys trending upward is super exciting. I’m very fortunate.”
Braves catchers have combined to hit .180 with a .537 OPS this season, both of which rank last in the major leagues.
