Looking good in spring action D'Arnaud went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.
Impact The veteran catcher took Chris Archer deep in the third inning, giving d'Arnaud his second homer this spring. He's slashing .357/.400/.786 through 15 Grapefruit League plate appearances, and while he likely won't come to that batting average during the regular season, the 33-year-old should be a solid power source after slugging 16 home runs and 60 RBI through 104 games over the last two seasons.

Adds insurance run D'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's World Series Game 3 win over the Astros.
Impact D'Arnaud committed a throwing error on a stolen-base attempt in the top of the eighth, allowing the would-be tying run to reach third base. He proved why Atlanta signed him to a two-year extension in August (despite his poor arm) in the bottom of the frame, hitting a solo shot off Kendall Graveman. He's now homered in two consecutive games.
