Rays trade for d'Arnaud from Dodgers

Hit with a recent injury wave at catcher, the Tampa Bay Rays acquired veteran backstop Travis d'Arnaud from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday for cash considerations. The Rays picked up d'Arnaud, 30, after their two catchers both hit the team's injured list -- Mike Zunino (quad), who manager Kevin Cash said this week will likely be out for four-to-five weeks, and Michael Perez (oblique).

The Dodgers had signed d'Arnaud last Sunday, two days after his release from the New York Mets. The seven-year veteran had played for the Mets since 2013, putting together three seasons with 10-plus home runs. For his career, d'Arnaud has hit .242 with 47 homers and 164 RBIs in 408 games. This season, d'Arnaud has gone just 2-for-24 at the plate for the Mets and Dodgers.
