TRAVIS D'ARNAUD NEWS

Resting Thursday Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said d'Arnaud will be out of the lineup Thursday against the Reds for rest purposes, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact D'Arnaud was activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday and started behind the plate in Atlanta's 8-6 win, going 1-for-4 with a walk. Because d'Arnaud caught all 11 innings in the victory and is fresh off an extended absence due to left thumb surgery, Atlanta is just looking to give him some extra maintenance. Stephen Vogt is expected to catch for starting pitcher Kyle Muller in the series finale.

Final rehab game postponed D'Arnaud (thumb) was scheduled to make his finale rehab appearance Tuesday with Triple-A Gwinnett, but the game against the Durham Bulls was postponed due to inclement weather.

Impact The 32-year-old was expected to rejoin Atlanta and be activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday after making the final rehab outing Tuesday, and it remains to be seen how the postponement affects those plans. He's already appeared in six rehab games and went 4-for-17 with two walks, an RBI and two runs. Even if his return is delayed slightly, d'Arnaud should still rejoin the big-league roster by the end of the week.

Impact D'Arnaud, who has gone 4-for-17 with a pair of walks through the first six games of his rehab assignment, will catch for rehabbing Atlanta pitcher Ian Anderson (shoulder) and is expected to play the full nine innings behind the dish. Assuming he incurs no setbacks with his surgically repaired left thumb, d'Arnaud will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list a day later. Even if he doesn't start for Atlanta on Wednesday, d'Arnaud should quickly displace Stephen Vogt as the team's No. 1 backstop as he returns from a three-plus-month absence. The addition of d'Arnaud should provide as shot in the arm to an Atlanta offense that will likely be missing Ronald Acuna (knee) and Marcell Ozuna (fingers) for the remainder of the season.
