D'Arnaud went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Yankees.
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.
d'Arnaud went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Rays.
d'Arnaud's second-inning homer was his sixth of the season but his first since April 22. It was also just the third multi-hit performance for d'Arnaud since late April, a span of 31 games. d'Arnaud has seen his playing time reduced dramatically since the return of Sean Murphy, seeing action in just eight games and collecting 24 at-bats since Murphy's return in late May from an oblique injury.
Braves' Travis d'Arnaud: Limited use since Murphy's return

D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
D'Arnaud will probably get the start at catcher in Thursday's series finale in Baltimore -- which is a day game after a night game -- but the veteran backstop has seen his playing time take a steady dip since Sean Murphy returned from the injured list May 27. Murphy will get his 11th start in 15 games since his return, with d'Arnaud getting the nod at catcher for the four other contests.
