Rivera, who is starting behind the dish and hitting eighth Wednesday, appears to have passed Travis d'Arnaud on the depth chart.

EDGE Analysis

He is getting his third start in the last four games, primarily because of what he brings to the table on defense. D'Arnaud has had a really rough year offensively, and the Mets seem content to settle for the better defender, accepting the fact that they may not get much on offense regardless of who is catching.
