ANAHEIM, Calif. — Catcher Travis d'Arnaud has agreed to a $12 million, two-year contract to join the Los Angeles Angels as a veteran backup to Logan O'Hoppe.

He batted .238 with 15 homers and 48 RBIs over 99 games last season for the Braves, who declined their $8 million option on him for 2025 last week.
