D'Arnaud (illness) is starting behind the plate and batting sixth Thursday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old was held out of Wednesday's contest due to a stomach bug but is back in the lineup a day later. D'Arnaud is hitting .190 since the start of July and has been ceding playing time to William Contreras at catcher, even prior to Wednesday's absence.

EDGE Analysis

Since William Contreras was behind the plate for all nine innings of Tuesday's 13-1 win, Atlanta was likely planning on resting him for the day game after a night game, but he'll have to catch a second straight contest with d'Arnaud feeling under the weather. With a .190 average since the beginning of July, d'Arnaud was already beginning to lose out on playing time to Contreras, and the bout with the stomach bug certainly won't help his case for re-establishing himself as Atlanta's clear-cut No. 1 backstop.

EDGE Analysis

D'Arnaud will take a seat for the second time in the series, getting some extra maintenance in a day game after a night game. With a .966 OPS since June 1, d'Arnaud still appears secure as Atlanta's preferred catcher, but William Contreras -- who gets the nod behind the plate Sunday -- has proven deserving of at least a part-time role and should continue to draw a handful of starts per week at catcher or designated hitter.
