Travis D'Arnaud Hitting Fifth In Rays Debut
6 years agoAfter getting acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers yesterday, Travis D'Arnaud is making his Tampa Bay Rays debut on Saturday batting out of the fifth spot and starting at catcher. A disappointing career has led him to his third team of the season as he'll fill in for Mike Zunino who was recently placed on the IL. D'Arnaud isn't fantasy relevant in any format unless you're in a two-catcher AL-only league. Now at age-30, his career .242/.303/.400 slash line would be the best-case scenario for D'Arnaud to put up this year as he'll split time in Zunino's absence. D'Arnaud will have to really impress to keep a major league job when Zunino returns from injury.
