D'Arnaud's (hand) examination to shed his soft cast and begin baseball activities will be Tuesday, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports. D'Arnaud will need to rebuild the strength in his hand and then progress to swinging a bat. From there, he will move to batting practice and a several games rehab stint. D'Arnaud, who has been ably replaced by Kevin Plawecki, could be back with the Mets in early-June.
