Former Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud received a warm welcome back when he stepped up to the plate in the top of the second inning on Wednesday. The Braves put a welcome graphic on the videoboard as the crowd stood up to applaud him.
The catcher tipped his helmet to the crowd in multiple directions before stepping into the box. He struck out in an eight-pitch at-bat against starting pitcher Didier Fuentes. He finished 0-for-4 on the day.
Manager Brian Snitker expressed his excitement to have d'Arnaud back in the building before the start of the three-game series with the Angels on Tuesday.
