D'Arnaud ran the bases Monday for the second time since landing on the 7-day injured list April 9, and he remains hopeful to be activated within the next week or so, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. "Yeah, they're wild," d'Arnaud said of concussions. "It's way different [than other injuries]. I've been getting asked the same thing [about when he's coming back]. I say, 'I don't know, I've gotta have no symptoms with anything, and then I can come back.'"

EDGE Analysis

Though d'Arnaud is traveling with Atlanta and has been taking batting practice for more than a week in addition to the running work, as his comments imply, a decision on when he'll be activated isn't up to him. Atlanta isn't putting any official timeline on d'Arnaud's return, which won't happen until doctors determine he's symptom-free and able to compete at full exertion. The concussion that d'Arnaud sustained April 8 during a play at the plate is the fourth diagnosed brain injury of his career, though the first he's suffered since 2014. Once activated, d'Arnaud will be the top understudy to catcher Sean Murphy, though d'Arnaud should see at least a handful of starts per week as a designated hitter or when Murphy requires a day off behind the plate.

D'Arnaud (concussion) is traveling with Atlanta and taking regular batting practice, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

There remains no estimated timetable for his activation from the concussion IL, but d'Arnaud continues to take positive steps forward. He's been on the shelf since April 9 and figures to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment at some point because of the growing length of his absence.

D'Arnaud (concussion) took part in more hitting work and caught a bullpen session Sunday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old backstop continues to make incremental progress in his recovery from a concussion, as Sunday marked the first time since landing on the injured list that he took part in any catching work. Once d'Arnaud is able to complete a full range of baseball activities, Atlanta will have to decide whether he's fit to immediately return to the 26-man active roster or if he'll require a brief rehab assignment beforehand. Sean Murphy is locked in as Atlanta's No. 1 catcher, but d'Arnaud should see fairly consistent playing time either behind the plate or as a designated hitter once he's reinstated from the IL.

D'Arnaud (concussion) hit in the batting cage Friday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

D'Arnaud is back to doing baseball activities 11 days after being placed on the 7-day concussion injured list. If all goes well from this point forward, the 34-year-old could feasibly return to Atlanta's active roster sometime early next week. He was off to an 11-for-33 start (.333) prior to the injury and had been starting pretty much every day between DH and catcher.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Saturday that d'Arnaud (concussion) still isn't doing much in terms of baseball activities, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

D'Arnaud is nearly a full week removed from landing on the 7-day concussion IL, but it's at least the fourth concussion he has suffered in his playing career and so it's likely to continue to be a slow-moving recovery process. The 34-year-old had gone 11-for-33 (.333) out of the gate this season for the reigning NL East champs.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday that d'Arnaud (concussion) is "feeling better," Grant McAuley of 929 The Game reports.

EDGE Analysis

D'Arnaud was placed on the 7-day injured list Sunday after suffering a concussion Saturday on a collision at home plate. There's still no timetable for his return, but he's at least making some semblance of progress. The 34-year-old had gotten off to a solid 11-for-33 (.333) start this season while playing nearly every day between designated hitter and catcher.

Atlanta placed d'Arnaud (concussion) on the 7-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Chadwick Tromp was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to replace d'Arnaud as the No. 2 catcher behind Sean Murphy. Despite entering the season in a projected backup role, d'Arnaud had played on a near-everyday basis while moving between catcher and designated hitter, slashing .333/.333/.424 while starting in all but one of Atlanta's first nine games. While d'Arnaud is sidelined for the next week, Murphy will see an even larger share of the reps behind the dish, and Marcell Ozuna should occupy the DH spot on a near-everyday basis.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker told reporters after Saturday's loss to the Padres that d'Arnaud is expected to go on the 7-day concussion IL, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The concussion occurred after d'Arnaud collided with Rougned Odor at home plate. The 34-year-old backstop will miss at least a week while recovering, but there's no guarantee he'll be ready to return after that week. Sean Murphy will see the majority of playing time behind the plate while he recovers.

D'Arnaud left Saturday's game against the Padres with a potential injury, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The backstop was involved with two collisions at home plate and was replaced by Sean Murphy. Atlanta hasn't given an update on d'Arnaud's condition as of yet, and it's likely due to the 34-year-old undergoing tests.

D'Arnaud is out of the lineup Friday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

It's the first day off this season for d'Arnaud, who had hit cleanup as the designated hitter in four consecutive games. Marcell Ozuna will DH and bat eighth Friday versus the Padres and right-hander Nick Martinez. Sean Murphy is catching and hitting fifth.
