ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves activated catcher Travis d’Arnaud from the injured list on Monday, one month after he sustained a concussion in a collision at home plate.
D’Arnaud played three games on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett, going hitless in eight at-bats with two walks. That was good enough for the Braves to bring him back ahead of a two-game series against the Boston Red Sox.
Catcher Chadwick Tromp was optioned to Gwinnett.
A first-time All-Star last season, d’Arnaud was injured April 8 when he was hit in the head by San Diego’s Rougned Odor, who crossed the plate standing on a throw home.
The catcher stayed in that game for a couple of more innings before he was replaced. Initially placed on the seven-day injured list, d’Arnaud’s recovery took far longer than expected.
