D'Arnaud (shoulder) suffered a setback Saturday, as he tried to throw for the first time and experienced discomfort and had to be shut down, Newsday's Marc Carig reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Terry Collins said Saturday's development was "pretty discouraging," and while d'Arnaud had already started hitting Thursday, it sounds like he will be completely shut down for now. More information regarding a timetable for further activity should become available in the coming days, but Collins' comments suggest that d'Arnaud won't be returning anytime soon. Kevin Plawecki should remain the primary catcher for Mets for the foreseeable future.

D'Arnaud (shoulder) began hitting Thursday but still hasn't resumed throwing yet, Maria Guardado of the Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is good to see some progress in his rehab process, but until d'Arnaud begins throwing again, it'll be quite some time before he can return to the Mets lineup. A timetable for his return should become clearer once he can begin a throwing program.

D'Arnaud (shoulder) will not likely come off the disabled list when he's first eligible to return, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

All d'Arnaud has done since going on the disabled list is rest and receive treatment on his shoulder, so he seems to be a ways away from returning to the field considering he hasn't even progressed to baseball activities yet. A timetable for his return should become clearer once he is able to begin throwing and using his shoulder for baseball activities. Kevin Plawecki should see most of the starts while d'Arnaud is on the shelf.

D'Arnaud (shoulder) was placed on the DL on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

D'Arnaud underwent further testing earlier Tuesday which revealed a right rotator cuff strain, leading to the DL stint. It's unclear how much time he'll be sidelined for, but Kevin Plawecki figures to see the bulk of the action behind home plate in his stead, while catcher Rene Rivera was recalled to the major league team in a corresponding move.

D'Arnaud (shoulder) will undergo further medical testing Tuesday, Adam Rubin of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

D'Arnaud first started to feel discomfort in his right shoulder Monday after a throw to second. His situation should be cleared up following the release of his medical results Tuesday, although early indications suggest he'll have to miss time since Triple-A catcher Rene Rivera was pulled early from Monday's game after just one at-bat, likely indicating a call-up. That said, Kevin Plawecki will serve as the Mets' primary catcher in the potential absence of d'Arnaud.

D'Arnaud left Monday's game against the Reds after experiencing shoulder discomfort, Adam Rubin of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

D'Arnaud was 1-for-3 but was replaced by Kevin Plawecki behind the plate to begin the eighth inning. The Mets should release more information soon with the extent of his injury still unclear.

d"Arnaud is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

d'Arnaud will get a day of rest after playing while Kevin Plawecki starts behind the plate. d"Arnaud recently broke out of a hitting slump, for four hits and three runs in his last three games. Plawecki will face Aaron Blair, who is making his major league debut.

D'Arnaud (elbow) is back in the lineup Tuesday and will bat eighth in the order against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

D'Arnaud will draw back in behind the plate Tuesday after a two-game absence due to a bruised elbow stemming from when he was hit by a pitch Saturday. Kevin Plawecki, who started in d'Arnaud's absence, will move back to the bench for Tuesday's contest. D'Arnaud will have the tough task of facing the red-hot Vincent Valasquez in his return to the lineup Tuesday. Velasquez is coming off complete game shutout with 16 strikeouts.

D'Arnaud (elbow) remains out of the lineup Monday, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kevin Plawecki will make another start behind the plate, while d'Arnaud remains day-to-day for now.

D'Arnaud (elbow) is unlikely to be available until Tuesday's game against the Phillies, ESPN.com's Adam Rubin reports.

EDGE Analysis

D'Arnaud is still dealing with some bruising on his left elbow after he was struck by a pitch in Saturday's game against the Indians, and the injury will result in him surrendering a start to Kevin Plawecki on Sunday. It sounds like d'Arnaud will remain out for Monday's series opener with the Phillies for precautionary purposes, but manager Terry Collins doesn't seem worried about a potential DL stint for the backstop. At this time, the Mets have no plan to call up a third catcher.
