Starting Saturday D'Arnaud (wrist) will start at catcher and bat fifth Saturday against Washington, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

Impact After missing Atlanta's last five games due to wrist soreness that stemmed from an HBP last Saturday, d'Arnaud will now make his return to the starting lineup. The 35-year-old backstop has appeared in nine games this month, going 5-for-28 with two homers and seven RBI.

Available off bench Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said that d'Arnaud (wrist) is available off the bench to catch Wednesday versus the Phillies, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact D'Arnaud hasn't played since being hit in the wrist by a pitch Saturday against the Angels. He's feeling much better, although it's not clear when he might be ready to return to the lineup. Sean Murphy will make his third straight start at catcher Wednesday.

On bench Tuesday, still sore D'Arnaud is still feeling pain in his wrist and is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact D'Arnaud was hit by a pitch in the wrist Saturday and was held out of Sunday's game due to the issue. While he carries a day-to-day designation, the catcher is still experiencing soreness. Sean Murphy will be behind the dish and bat fifth Tuesday.

Impact d'Arnaud remained in the game to run -- and eventually scored -- but was replaced behind the plate by Sean Murphy in the bottom of the seventh. While the injury doesn't appear to be anything serious, Atlanta will give d'Arnaud a rest Sunday ahead of Monday's team off day. Still, expect the 35-year-old to continue to be evaluated to ensure the hit-by-pitch didn't cause any structural damage.

Retreating to bench Monday D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Though he'll be on the bench Monday, d'Arnaud had started at catcher in three of the past four games and may have moved into a near-even timeshare with Sean Murphy. D'Arnaud is currently in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, during which he's slugged two home runs and has drawn three walks. Murphy, meanwhile, has gone 2-for-19 with no extra-base hits over his last seven games, with his struggles prompting manager Brian Snitker to increasingly favor the hotter bat of the two catchers.

Two homers Sunday D'Arnaud went 2-for-3 with two homers, a walk, a stolen base, four RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Padres.

Impact D'Arnaud didn't get going until later in the game. He distanced Atlanta with a three-run blast in the sixth to put them up 5-1 and then followed up with a solo home run in the eighth. The 35-year-old backstop also reached via a walk and swiped his first base of the year. The home runs were D'Arnaud's first since June 22 and are a continuation of a strong month at the plate so far. Over 26 plate appearances, D'Arnaud is slashing .333/.385/.625 with seven RBI and four runs scored in July. He continues to be in a timeshare behind the plate with Sean Murphy and won't have a clear path to an everyday role unless Murphy were to pick up another injury.

Launches seventh homer D'Arnaud went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Yankees.

Impact While his playing time has been limited in June, d'Arnaud is starting to make the most of it. He has a homer in two of his last three games, giving him seven long balls on the year. The catcher is at a .242/.310/.464 slash line with 24 RBI, 21 runs scored, 13 doubles and no stolen bases over 171 plate appearances. While Sean Murphy has struggled at the plate this season, he's hitting .244 in June, which has been enough to keep d'Arnaud in the backup catcher role.
