4 years agoAtlanta Braves catcher William Contreras was promoted to the majors last night after an injury to first-string catcher Travis d'Arnaud. The rookie immediately made his presence felt on Sunday with a single and a walk during four plate appearances in the club's 7-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Contreras first appeared at the MLB level in 2020 during a four-game stint that saw him go 4-for-10 with a double and a BB-K of 0-4. With d'Arnaud out long term, the young backstop could receive plenty of playing time especially with another young backstop, Alex Jackson, hurt. Defensive whiz Jeff Mathis has recently been added to the active roster, as well.--Marc Hulet - RotoBaller
