However, he has been having a solid season overall, hitting .276 with seven home runs and 22 RBI. d’Arnaud’s performance and blast against the Rays shows how truly deep this Atlanta team is.</p><p>Offensively, the Braves have been a true juggernaut. They lead the league in home runs (169) and rank second in the league in batting average (.271) and third in runs scored (499). In a testament to their strong pitching staff as well, the Braves are second in the league with a +148 run differential.</p><p>With their impressive record, Atlanta holds a nine game lead in the NL East. They’ll enter the second half looking to keep their foot on the gas and continue hitting their way into the postseason.</p><p>Travis d’Arnaud won’t be the focal point of Atlanta’s eventual playoff run. But that doesn’t mean he is a slouch either. d’Arnaud’s home run against the Rays further proved that anytime a Brave steps up to the plate, the ball could be leaving the yard.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s the fourth concussion of d’Arnaud’s career, one that spans over 11 seasons.</p><p>The 2022 all-star, when healthy, forms the best-catching duo in the league with Sean Murphy. He talked about the difficulties of <a href="https://theathletic.com/4478634/2023/05/01/braves-sean-murphy-travis-darnaud/?source=emp_shared_article" rel="noopener">overcoming a concussion</a> and the symptoms that come with it.</p><p>“It was, like, the part that got sensitive to lights and sound. Basically, anytime I shook my head or moved my eyes — that was the part of my brain that got crushed,” d’Arnaud said. “So anytime I was around that, I’d get massive headaches.”</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/braves-news-ronald-acuna-jr-shoulder-injury-mets" rel="noopener">Braves have leaned on</a> the side of caution when it comes to d’Arnaud. He and they both know that a concussion, especially not the first, is nothing to take lightly. The Braves’ decision-makers have had help from Murphy though.</p><p>Since d’Arnaud was placed on the injured list, Murphy has played in 20 of 21 games and has a .304 batting average with eight home runs, six doubles and 20 RBIs. He leads the National League in slugging percentage.</p><p>The Braves acquired Murphy from the Oakland Athletics in December and swiftly handed him a six-year extension worth $73 million. It is a move that Atlanta sees as a current and long-term contributor to the Braves’ success this decade.</p><p>The success of the Braves in April (19-10 record as of May 2) paired with the effort from Sean Murphy allows Travis d’Arnaud to not feel pressured in his return from a concussion. His timely return will be seen as a luxury for a Braves team that is eager to get back to the World Series.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As fans await their return to the diamond, <a href="https://twitter.com/DOBrienATL/status/1649513993675890689" rel="noopener">there are some updates</a> on their progression.</p><p>d’Arnaud has not played since April 8 due after being pulled due to concussion-like symptoms. The veteran backstop has dealt with multiple concussions throughout his career, so the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/braves-news-atlantas-travis-darnaud-plan-concussion-padres" rel="noopener">team has been careful</a>.</p><p>On Friday, it was revealed that d’Arnaud has been cleared to hit for the first time since going on the injured list. If things continue progressing well, the 34-year-old could return sometime early next week.</p><p>However, the news wasn’t all good for the Braves. Harris, who hasn’t played <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/braves-news-michael-harris-ii-leaves-padres-game-with-lower-back-injury-will-not-return" rel="noopener">since April 6</a>, has not yet taken batting practice and has no timetable for his return. The Braves outfielder is dealing with a lower back issue.</p><p>Harris is staying active, however. He has begun running in the outfield, and he is hitting off of a tee. Despite that, Atlanta <a href="https://www.ajc.com/sports/atlanta-braves/heres-where-braves-michael-harris-ii-stands-in-rehab-from-lower-back-strain/VMX2LTFRFVBNTI5ESRBURKOMBA/" rel="noopener">remains cautious with</a> regard to their promising outfielder.</p><p>“I know with a back, you can’t really rush it. There’s a lot of things connected to it. So it’s just working out everything and getting everything strong to get focal-point strong,” Harris told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday.</p><p>The Braves have played well without Harris and d’Arnaud in the lineup. Atlanta is 14-5 to begin the season, and have won eight of their last 10 games. Getting Harris and d’Arnaud back makes this already strong team even better. Hopefully, both players are back on the field and fully healthy relatively soon.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
