4 years agoAtlanta Braves catchers Travis D'Arnaud and Tyler Flowers will both miss Opening Day on Friday after exhibiting symptoms, yet testing negative for COVID-19. As the only two catchers originally selected for the club’s Opening Day roster, the duo of Alex Jackson and William Contreras have been recalled to serve as backstops for Atlanta’s staff. d’Arnaud figured to play prominently in most standard fantasy leagues, but with both men now down for an unknown amount of time, owners will want to consider other options, with Jackson getting the start Friday. While it’s a step in the right direction that neither d’Arnaud nor Flowers tested positive for the virus, their return date remains up in the air.--Jesse Borek
