D'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
He took Dinelson Lamet deep for a two-run shot in the first inning and then did it again in the third, giving d'Arnaud the 100th and 101st homers of his career. The 34-year-old backstop has four homers and 14 RBI in 25 games this season, with three of those long balls coming in his last five starts, and his .281/.340/.461 slash line has him on pace for his highst OPS since he rang up a career-best .919 mark in 2020.

D'Arnaud went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, four total runs and two walks in Thursday's 13-10 extra-inning win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran backstop hit one of five long balls for Atlanta in the contest, contributing to the team's comeback with a two-run shot in the eighth inning. The multi-hit effort was d'Arnaud's fifth in 20 games this season. He is the clear No. 2 option behind Sean Murphy on the catcher depth chart but has still provided plenty of offense, slashing .303/.346/.434 with two homers, 10 RBI and 10 runs over 81 plate appearances.

D'Arnaud is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Sean Murphy will catch and Marcell Ozuna is serving as Atlanta's designated hitter. D'Arnaud got off to an encouraging start this season, but he has slashed just .231/.286/.333 in 42 plate appearances since returning from the concussion IL nearly a month ago. He's drawn only 10 starts in that timeframe.

D'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
He took George Kirby deep in the sixth inning to cap the scoring for Atlanta. D'Arnaud missed over a month due to a concussion and has only played 13 games so far this season, but the 34-year-old has been plenty productive, slashing .314/.340/.431 with one homer, four runs and six RBI.

D'Arnaud is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
D'Arnaud will be a bench option for Atlanta in his first game back from the concussion IL. He was drawing everyday starts between catcher and designated hitter prior to the head injury, but the NL East leaders will apparently ease him into action. Sean Murphy is catching Tuesday and Marcell Ozuna is filling the DH role.

Atlanta activated d'Arnaud (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
D'Arnaud wound up missing a month of action after suffering a concussion. He was hitless in three rehab games but more importantly, he's feeling healthy and is ready to reclaim his spot on the team with the National League's best record. Marcell Ozuna is finally showing signs of life lately, but d'Arnaud should see plenty of action in the designated hitter spot and also catch a couple times per week.

D'Arnaud (concussion) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
At last check, d'Arnaud was still awaiting full clearance from doctors to play in games. Evidently he has received it. The veteran catcher has missed nearly a month of action with concussion symptoms but should be ready for activation after knocking the rust off with a few rehab games.
