D'Arnaud went 3-for-4 with a double, a homer, a walk and three RBI in Tuesday's 14-4 rout of the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

After a big spring, d'Arnaud opened the season slowly, going just 2-for-14 heading into Tuesday. However, there were positive signs here even before this effort, as he'd struck out just a single time. While d'Arnaud is coming off a bad, injury-shortened campaign, he's still a talented hitter who's put in a lot of work to find his stroke again. Don't dismiss him in deeper formats.

D'Arnaud is back in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

After having Sunday off, d'Arnaud will return to his spot behind the dish for Monday's game. Since the season began, he's gone 2-for-10 over five games.

D'Arnaud is not in Sunday's lineup against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

D'Arnaud, who was already given the night off in Friday's matchup against the Marlins, will now be out of the lineup for two of the team's three games in the series. However, this should help ensure that he's fully fresh for Mets upcoming seven-game road trip beginning Monday.

D'Arnaud is not in the lineup Friday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old has hit safely in each of the games he's started this season, but he'll get a regular night off to begin New York's three-game weekend series. Rene Rivera will set up behind the dish in his stead.

D'Arnaud went 1-for-3 with a two-run double in the Mets' 6-2 victory over the Braves on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets had trouble with Atlanta starter Jaime Garcia in the early going, but d'Arnaud managed to open the scoring for the Mets by jabbing an 0-1 offering from the lefty into center field to score a pair. The 28-year-old has gotten on base in each contest this season, and he should continue to get a good number of innings behind the dish as long as he maintains his productivity at the plate.

D'Arnaud isn't in the lineup for the Mets' season opener Monday against the Braves, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Noah Syndergaard is on the hill for the Mets, so his personal catcher, Rene Rivera, will get the nod over d'Arnaud. While health hasn't been an issue for d'Arnaud this spring, he's struggled to control the running game and could lose out on starts to Rivera as a result if he fails to show much improvement during the regular season. Look for d'Arnaud to make his season debut Wednesday.

D'Arnaud was 0-for-4 in throwing out basestealers Friday with Noah Syndergaard on the mound, even failing to gun down Jake Marisnick on a pitchout, and as a result Rene Rivera will be Syndergaard's personal catcher to begin the season, John Harper of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets were hoping the addition of catching coach Glenn Sherlock to the staff would help d'Arnaud improve his throwing, but that hasn't been the case this spring as the 28-year-old is 0-for-12 in nailing would-be thieves. Better results at the plate should at least allow d'Arnaud to remain in a starting role, and to his credit he is hitting .325/.413/.550 through 40 spring at-bats, but if his hitting doesn't rebound significantly from last season's .630 OPS, he could once again find himself on the bench behind Rivera more often than not.

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."

EDGE Analysis

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.

D'Arnaud went 1-for-3 with a solo home run off Marlins closer A.J. Ramos in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game.

EDGE Analysis

His offseason work to simplify and improve his swing has paid quick dividends to begin the spring, and d'Arnaud is now hitting .500 (4-for-8) through the Mets' first few Grapefruit League games. He remains little more than a lottery ticket in shallower fantasy formats, but the 28-year-old catcher still has time to get his career back on track if he can just stay off the DL.

D'Arnaud went 2-for-2 in Friday's Grapefruit League opener against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

After retooling his swing in the offseason, this was exactly the kind of start the Mets were looking for out of d'Arnaud this spring. He's locked in as the starting catcher to begin 2017, but will need to stay healthy and continue hitting to keep Rene Rivera and Kevin Plawecki from cutting into his playing time.
