The Angels reinstated d'Arnaud (foot) from the injured list Wednesday.
The Angels had been aiming to get d'Arnaud back on the active roster over the weekend, but he'll rejoin the team a few days early to replenish the depth the team lost by trading Logan O'Hoppe to the Rangers on Wednesday. D'Arnaud hasn't been especially productive since joining the Angels in 2025, slashing just .198/.262/.339 across 271 plate appearances with the organization. However, with Tyler Heineman representing his only healthy competition on the big-league roster, d'Arnaud should get his fair share of starts.

Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: Could be activated soon
Rotowire
D'arnaud (foot) could be activated from the injured list as soon as Friday, MLB.com reports.
D'arnaud has played six games so far during his minor-league rehab assignment, slashing .227/.261/.273 with a double, two RBI and a 1:7 BB:K. The veteran catcher has yet to catch on back-to-back days, which the Angels have set as a baseline for his activation from the IL, but that could happen as soon as Wednesday. Should that be the case, d'Arnaud may be ready to return to the Angels for the team's series opener against Milwaukee on Friday. Tyler Heineman and Logan O'Hoppe are currently working as the Angels' catchers, so one of them may be moved off the 26-man roster upon d'Arnaud's return.

Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: Takes big steps toward return
Rotowire
D'Arnaud (foot) caught Yusei Kikuchi's bullpen session July 5 and progressed to running the bases July 10, MLB.com reports.
D'Arnaud had already been swinging a bat and throwing, but the advancement to running the bases is a big step in his recovery from plantar fasciitis in his right foot. If the veteran backstop continues to make steady progress, he could be activated from the 60-day IL by the end of July. In the meantime, Tyler Heineman will remain the backup catcher to Logan O'Hoppe.

Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: Still weeks away from return
Rotowire
D'Arnaud (foot) has been swinging a bat and throwing, but he has yet to resume running and is expected to be out for multiple more weeks, per MLB.com.
Running will be a big hurdle for d'Arnaud to clear given the right foot plantar fasciitis that has sidelined him since early May. The veteran catcher is coming up on the date when he'll be eligible to be activated from the 60-day IL, but it sounds like he'll be out several weeks beyond the minimum. With d'Arnaud out of action, Tyler Heineman is currently the Angels' No. 2 backstop behind Logan O'Hoppe.

Rotowire
D'Arnaud (foot) was able to catch from a pitching machine Sunday and has continued to do swinging and throwing in his workouts, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
D'Arnaud is doing nearly every baseball activity except for running, which is the main hurdle he'll need to clear in his recovery from right foot plantar fasciitis before the Angels send him out for a rehab assignment. The veteran backstop has been on the injured list since May 7 due to the injury and appears unlikely to make it back until after the All-Star break.

Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: Sheds boot
Rotowire
D'Arnaud (foot) is no longer wearing a walking boot, and he played catch on the field Wednesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
It's a notable step for d'Arnaud, who landed on the 10-day injured list May 8 due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. The veteran backstop has since been transferred to the 60-day IL, so he isn't eligible to return until early July. With Sebastian Rivero currently sidelined due t a left hamate fracture, Logan Porter is working as the backup catcher behind Logan O'Hoppe.

Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: Dealing with foot issue
Rotowire
Manager Kurt Suzuki said Wednesday that d'Arnaud is dealing with pain in his foot, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
D'Arnaud came out of Wednesday's game against the White Sox in the fifth inning after attempting to leg out an infield single.

Angels' Travis d'Arnaud: In line for No. 2 catcher role
Rotowire
D'Arnaud is expected to serve as the Angels' No. 2 catcher behind Logan O'Hoppe this season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
D'Arnaud served in the same role during his first season with the Angels last year and finished the campaign with a .598 OPS along with six homers and 21 RBI across 231 plate appearances. He struggled to make contact, posting a career-worst 32.0 percent strikeout rate. O'Hoppe is viewed by the Angels as a potential long-term stalwart behind the plate, so d'Arnaud isn't a threat to usurp the younger catcher's playing time.
