Plawecki will see an uptick in playing time with Travid d'Arnaud landing on the 15-day disabled with a strained rotator cuff.
Plawecki played in 73 games last season as a rookie, many of which occurred while d'Arnaud was sidelined with injury. He struggled last season and began this year in danger of getting sent down to Triple-A to accumulate more at-bats. That won't be a concern now, as Plawecki should play nearly every day backed up by a defense-oriented catcher in Rene Rivera.
