Answer: Chase d'Arnaud

Chase was part of the rebuilding Braves in 2016 and 2017. He served as a back up utility player seeing time in six different defensive positions. d'Arnaud was the more versatile defender among the siblings, but his lack of power with the bat phased him out of MLB rosters.

Fun fact, d'Arnaud hit a walk-off sac fly in the same game Freddie Freeman hit for the cycle against the Reds on June 15th, 2016.
