He drilled a 421-foot homer to bring Atlanta within a run, though the team was unable to score again.

EDGE Analysis

D'Arnaud inked a two-year, $16 million contract extension with Atlanta earlier in the day, and he had a strong showing in Friday's series opener against Baltimore with his second home run since he returned from the injured list Aug. 11.

D'Arnaud signed a two-year, $16 million extension with Atlanta on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The deal keeps the catcher in Cobb County through the end of the 2023 season, with the club also getting an $8 million team option to keep him around for an additional year. D'Arnaud has shown some of the best form of his career during his time with Atlanta, hitting .284/.345/.470 with 12 homers and 49 RBI in 72 games with the team, though almost all of his success came last year. He's produced a 71 wRC+ this year while spending the majority of the season on the injured list after undergoing thumb surgery, but the organization evidently believes he has at least two more years of good performances in his bat despite his recent struggles.

D'Arnaud will sit Tuesday against the Marlins.

The 32-year-old has started in two of the last three games since he was reinstated from the 60-day IL on Wednesday, and he's gone 3-for-8 with a solo homer, a walk and a strikeout during that time.
