D'Arnaud is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old was never likely to start both games of the twinbill, and he'll take a seat for the matinee. D'Arnaud should return to the lineup for the nightcap, while Tyler Flowers starts behind the plate for Game 1.

D'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Facing his former club, d'Arnaud took Jacob deGrom deep in the fifth inning to end his ex-batterymate's shutout bid. Since Atlanta got its veteran catching duo back from the injured list, d'Arnaud has started four games to Tyler Flowers' two, and he hasn't wasted the opportunities -- d'Arnaud has gone 6-for-15 (.400) with a homer and seven RBI, and as a bonus he even stole a base, his first successful swipe since 2014.

D'Arnaud isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
D'Arnaud plated five runs in Friday's comeback win, but manager Brian Snitker said that he wants to limit his workload early after his return from the injured list, especially in the heat. As a result, Tyler Flowers will start at catcher Saturday, batting ninth.

D'Arnaud went 3-for-4 with a double, five RBI, one walk and one strikeout in Friday's win against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
In just his second appearance since being activated from the injured list, d'Arnaud smacked a two-run double in the bottom of the eighth inning to complete the Braves' comeback bid in their 11-10 win Friday. The 31-year-old has two doubles and six RBI over seven at-bats to begin the season but should continue to split catching duties with Tyler Flowers going forward.

D'Arnaud (illness) was activated from the injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Both d'Arnaud and fellow catcher Tyler Flowers had been on the COVID-19 injured list since Opening Day, though both players were evidently experiencing nothing worse than a normal illness as neither tested positive for the virus. Both have been cleared to return Wednesday and should split catching duties going forward.

D'Arnaud (illness) worked out and felt good Tuesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although he tested negative for COVID-19, d'Arnaud has been on the injured list after he exhibited symptoms. However, he's been cleared to work out with the team, and manager Brian Snitker said that he could be an option for Wednesday's home opener against the Rays. Fellow catcher Tyler Flowers (illness) has also been progressing in his recovery after showing COVID-19 symptoms and could make his return Wednesday as well.

D'Arnaud (illness) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old actually tested negative for COVID-19 but is exhibiting symptoms, so he didn't travel with the team for Opening Day. D'Arnaud can rejoin the team once clear of the symptoms since there's no minimum stay for the specialized IL. Tyler Flowers is sidelined by similar circumstances, leaving Alex Jackson and William Contreras to handle catching duties for the Braves.

D'Arnaud tested negative for COVID-19 but is showing symptoms and didn't travel with the team to New York for Friday's season opener, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tyler Flowers also remains in Atlanta under similar circumstances, so the Braves will be without their top-two catchers to begin the season. Alex Jackson will come up from the taxi squad to start behind the plate Friday.
