D'Arnaud went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two RBI during Saturday's extra-innings loss to Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
While the backstop has played just 25 games this season, he has shown impressive pop with a .515 slugging percentage. D'Arnaud's five homers, 18 RBI and 11 runs are also solid returns, as he continues to prove to be a serviceable fantasy asset when healthy. The problem is that he has been limited to just 620 plate appearances dating back to the 2015 campaign.

D'Arnaud is not in the lineup Friday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old catcher returned from the disabled list Wednesday, but he'll get a night off after failing to pick up a hit since his activation. Rene Rivera will catch Jacob deGrom on Friday night.

D'Arnaud (wrist) was activated from the disabled list Wednesday, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, d'Arnaud will rejoin the Mets ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Padres. He'll be available off the bench, though him and Rene Rivera should split duties behind the dish moving forward.

D'Arnaud (wrist) will be activated ahead of Wednesday's game against the Padres, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
While it was reported earlier that d'Arnaud wouldn't be activated prior to Wednesday's contest, that is no longer the case. With Tommy Milone (knee) now heading to the disabled list, the Mets had an available spot on the roster for the backstop to fill. He still won't draw the start, as Rene Rivera is locked into the lineup behind the dish, though he'll be available off the bench if needed. D'Arnaud and Rivera will likely share duties behind the plate moving forward.

D'Arnaud (wrist) went through batting practice Wednesday, but isn't expected to be activated from the 10-day disabled list prior to the Mets' game against the Padres, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
D'Arnaud's presence on the field prior to the game implies that he's close to returning from the DL, but with the team listing Rene Rivera as the starting catcher Wednesday, it looks like d'Arnaud won't be back until at least Thursday. The Mets recently had d'Arnaud head to Triple-A Las Vegas for a six-game rehab assignment, during which he went 5-for-23 at the plate. D'Arnaud and Rivera are expected to share duties behind the plate once d'Arnaud is activated.

D'Arnaud (wrist) caught all nine innings for Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, going 3-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and an RBI, but he'll remain on his rehab assignment for now, Justin Tasch of The New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets will have d'Arnaud catch Steven Matz's (elbow) rehab start with Las Vegas on Tuesday, and if everything goes well he should come off the DL soon afterwards. The 28-year-old backstop is slashing .203/.288/.475 through 22 big-league games this season, and d'Arnaud may have to split time with the hot-hitting Rene Rivera once he's back.

D'Arnaud (wrist) went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles in his first rehab appearance Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old caught seven innings in addition to putting together a solid night as a hitter. It's unclear how long the Mets need to see d'Arnaud down at High-A before activating him off the disabled list, but the general sense is that the club will bring him off the DL next week.

D'Arnaud (wrist) is scheduled to start his rehab assignment with High-A St. Lucie on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
D'Arnaud, who has been on the disabled list for most of May with a bone bruise in his wrist, is entering the last step in his rehab process before rejoining the Mets. It's unclear how many games the rehab assignment will last, though he'll likely need a few games there before he's ready to return to the big club.

D'Arnaud was placed on the disabled list after suffering a bone bruise in his wrist, Marc Carig of Newsweek reports.
EDGE Analysis
D'Arnaud's injury stems from when he aggregated a previous wrist issue on Tuesday. As of right now there has not been a timetable established for when he could be expected to return. The Mets will be hoping that D'Arnaud's bone bruise does not end up sapping any power when he returns like wrist injuries have sometimes been known to do.

D'Arnaud will have his wrist examined by a doctor Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
D'Arnaud is apparently still experiencing soreness after aggravating a wrist injury during Tuesday's contest. More should be known about his status after the examination, while the possibility of a trip to the DL looms overhead.
