Why we like him
The decisive detail is that the Angels activated Travis d'Arnaud from the 60-day injured list on July 29, 2026, which immediately puts him back in the catching mix and into consideration for the starting lineup. He has 0 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, but he just completed a six-game rehab assignment in which he produced a double and two RBI, and he already owns a homer and three RBI in limited MLB action this season, so there is a tangible short-term power upside if the club hands him regular starts. Sorare's Edge projection of 10.4 and the platform projection of 13.9, with model confidence MEDIUM, line up with the reality that d'Arnaud is a medium-ceiling, low-floor play whose fantasy value will be decided by how quickly the Angels give him back-to-back catching days and consistent plate appearances, so watch the day-to-day news closely.
