The Mets have announced that catcher Travis d’Arnaud is going on the 10-day DL. His roster spot will go to righty Rafael Montero, who is stepping into the rotation at least temporarily.
While it had seemed d’Arnaud would avoid a DL stint for a wrist issue, it became a bigger problem after the injury was aggravated in a recent game. It’s unfortunate to see d’Arnaud go down yet again, though indications are that it won’t be a protracted absence. Manager Terry Collins told reporters including Marc Carig of Newsday (Twitter link) that the hope is d’Arnaud can ramp back up after only a week or so of rest.
Look at the Mets, using the disabled list correctly.
And all it took was losing their star position player for a month and ace pitcher for 3 months for them to realize how to use it properly.
The DL is like going out to the club for the Mets. “You going to the DL tonight?”
“Nah, I will meet you there tomorrow!”
“You going to the NLCS? Nah, just the NLDS”
Lol love it
Better the NLDS than getting bounced in the WC game….
What a shocking development for such an iron man!
It’s time the Mets look for a solution at catcher. Travis has not lived up to expectations and is always injured.
I have a different opinion Snake. He is a perfect Met…the epitome of the franchise: overrated, mediocre at best and always on the DL. No fear for you Flushing faithful–nothing will change.
I think D’Arnaud is one of those career backups. I would love it if the Mets picked up a durable backstop and had D’Arnaud as a lifelong met. I don’t see any team wanting him as a starter now
Ha. d’Arnaud on the DL again. Remember when the Mets thought they could get Lucroy by offering d’Arnaud in a 1 for 1 trade?

No they didn’t. They were ready to give Travis, Nimmo or Dilson Herrera, and a tier 2 pitcher. It fell through because Brewers wanted Conforto or Rosario and Mets wisely walked away
