D'Arnaud hit his second home run of the spring Monday, and the Mets are thrilled with his performance so far in camp, The New York Daily News reports. "It's really good to see because he's worked so hard to fix his swing,'' manager Terry Collins said. "And he hasn't had to throw a lot, but he threw very, very well the other day. So hopefully he's on the right track."

He's hitting a robust .450 (9-for-20) through seven Grapefruit League games, and d'Arnaud's simplified swing is drawing rave reviews. "I'm able to see the ball longer and not have to cheat to get to certain pitches,'' d'Arnaud said Monday. "I've shortened the swing up so it's more direct and I don't have to over-commit too soon." The 28-year-old's track record of getting hurt on a regular basis makes him difficult to trust on a fantasy roster, but in deep leagues he's looking more and more like an intriguing sleeper for 2017.
