With Atlanta Braves starting catcher Travis d’Arnaud recently put on the 60-day IL with an injury combined with back-up catcher Alex Jackson also put on the IL with an injury, the time and opportunity is now for one of the Braves catchers of the future to claim their spot.
Due to recent injuries that have occurred to the Atlanta Braves two major league catchers, there is an opportunity for someone to step up and claim the extensive playing time that is available.
