Yes, that is Travis d’Arnaud DHing and hitting fifth. He’s DHed five other times this season, but none since May 12, and hit fifth twice this season, but not since May 14. Eddie Rosario remains the beneficiary of this move by continuing to start in left, though the outfield dimensions in Arizona are such that I guess the Braves don’t want Marcell Ozuna running around in Quikrete quicksand out there.
