Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: Relegated to bench Sunday
D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
D'Arnaud will take a seat for the series finale, but he looks to be the Angels' new No. 1 catcher after Logan O'Hoppe was traded to the Rangers on Wednesday. Tyler Heineman will get the nod behind the dish in place of d'Arnaud, who went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts while starting the first two contests of the series.
