D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader, Newsday's Marc Carig reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although the doubleheader is the likely reason for d'Arnaud's absence in game one, the catcher could likely use some rest after starting the past four games behind the plate. In his place, Rene Rivera will catch Robert Gsellman in game one against the Braves.

D'Arnaud accounted for the final run of Tuesday's 10-8 loss to the Rangers with a ninth-inning solo homer, his only hit in five at-bats on the evening.

EDGE Analysis

While d'Arnaud isn't sitting on particularly shiny numbers, especially that .231 average, there's some hope to be found in his batting line. The 28-year-old catcher has a horribly low .217 BABIP despite dispensing line drives and hard-hit balls at the highest rates of his career, and his .253 ISO is easily a career best. There's hope yet for his long-suffering fantasy owners.

EDGE Analysis

D'Arnaud has raised his batting average from .190 to .241 over his last five starts, but the Mets still want to keep him fresh, so he will get a day off after starting the previous two contests. Rene Rivera will get the nod behind the plate in d'Arnaud's place.
