Asdrubal Cabrera out two weeks with strained patella tendon

After an agonizingly slow start to his career at the plate, Travis d'Arnaud has done nothing but hit since the middle of 2014. Only Buster Posey and Kyle Schwarber contributed more offense from the catcher position, and the rest of the pack wasn't especially close...

D'Arnaud hit for a ton of power (on pace for 29 home runs and 30 doubles), but without the spike in strikeout rate that often accompanies extra base hits. Behind the plate, he's has had mixed results, though his memorably bad throws in the postseason mask a career caught-stealing rate that is actually about average (and better than average in 2015).
