D'Arnaud is batting cleanup as the designated hitter Thursday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

It's the fourth straight start out of the No. 4 spot in the order for d'Arnaud, who has gone 10-for-26 (.385) with an .885 OPS through six total games this season. He'll likely continue to get everyday playing time -- whether at DH or catcher -- while he's carrying such a hot bat. Sean Murphy is behind the plate and hitting sixth Thursday versus Friars southpaw Blake Snell.
