Travis d'Arnaud - Launches first homer of 2022D'Arnaud went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Reds.
ImpactD'Arnaud has enjoyed a productive big-league career, and he may in time become the answer to a trivia question as a result of this particular homer, as it the first allowed by Hunter Greene at the highest level. As Atlanta's No. 1 catching option, d'Arnaud has been behind the plate for three of the team's four games so far, batting either seventh or eighth.

Tyler Stephenson - Cracks first homer of 2022Stephenson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's win in Atlanta.
ImpactStephenson got himself on the board with a fifth-inning long ball off Sean Newcomb. The backstop is looking to build on his strong 2021 campaign, and he's off to a nice start -- he's batting .300 in the early going. Stephenson has hit fifth in order in all three games he's started so far.

Kyle Farmer - Swipes bag in lossFarmer went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Atlanta.
ImpactAfter his sixth-inning steal against the battery of Sean Newcomb and Travis d'Arnaud, Farmer is already halfway to his 2021 stolen base total. Adding a speed element would make Farmer much more interesting from a fantasy standpoint. He's otherwise a modest contributor, even with near-everyday playing time.

Matt Olson - First homer with new teamOlson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's loss to the Reds.
ImpactOlson touched up rookie flamethrower Hunter Greene for his first home run with Atlanta. The first baseman doesn't seemed fazed by the outside pressures that come with a new $168 million contract extension. He is batting .571 with a 1.576 OPS through four games as Atlanta's two-hole hitter.
