Travis d'Arnaud hit a go-ahead two-run double in a 6-5 win over the Rangers on Friday night. The game was tied at 4-4 before d'Arnaud delivered with a double to the right-center field gap in the bottom of the eighth inning. It's early, but it sure looks like something clicked for him during his brief time in the minors. He's hitting .303 (10-for-33) with one home run, three doubles, and six RBI over nine games since his return to the big club. It's time to give him another try in two-catcher mixed leagues.

Travis d'Arnaud went 3-for-4 in Friday's loss to the Pirates. All three hits were singles, but the catcher has hit safely in all four games since he was called back up from Triple-A Las Vegas. He brought his average up over the Mendoza line for the first time since May 12. d'Arnaud is now slashing .201/.281/.306 with four home runs and 12 RBI in 161 plate appearances.

Travis d'Arnaud went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Athletics. In his first game back in the major leagues following a two-week stint at Triple-A, d'Arnaud expanded the Mets' lead to 7-1 with his three-run blast off of Scott Kazmir in the third inning. The homer was the catcher's fourth of the season, and he is now sitting with a .182/.270/.295 slash line with 12 RBI.

Mets recalled C Travis d'Arnaud from Triple-A Las Vegas. D'Arnaud demoted to Triple-A Las Vegas earlier this month after he hit just .180/.271/.273 over his first 39 games this season, but he earned his way back in a hurry. The 25-year-old backstop hit .436 (24-for-55) with six home runs, eight doubles, and 16 RBI over 15 games in Triple-A. The Mets will have to hope that the success in the minors will result in some newfound confidence at the major league level. He could be worth a flier in two-catcher mixed fantasy leagues.

The Mets will recall Travis d'Arnaud from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday. D'Arnaud has earned his way back to the majors by batting a ridiculous .403/.448/.871 with seven homers and 18 RBI over 17 games at Vegas. The 25-year-old has hit only .189/.277/.269 across his first 257 major league plate appearances, but don't forget that he's a former top prospect. D'Arnaud might be worth a shot again in deeper mixed leagues.

The Mets plan to promote catcher Travis d'Arnaud for next week's series versus the Athletics. Since his demotion to Triple-A Las Vegas on June 7, the young catcher has been on a roll, hitting .395 with five home runs and 10 RBI in 38 plate appearances. He may be worth trying again in deeper mixed fantasy leagues.

Mike Puma of the New York Post hears that Travis d'Arnaud will be recalled "soon." D'Arnaud is hitting a blistering .348/.412/.804 with six homers over 12 games since his demotion to Triple-A Las Vegas, so he's apparently found his stroke at the plate. The backstop batted .180/.271/.273 before being optioned earlier this month but certainly has more upside offensively than he's shown.

Mets manager Terry Collins said Thursday that he'd like Travis d'Arnaud to get 40-50 at-bats at Triple-A Las Vegas before the club considers recalling him. "It's not going to happen in five or six days," Collins said. "I think he needs to be there a couple weeks. He needs to accumulate some at-bats." D'Arnaud has six hits -- including a pair of home runs -- over his first 10 at-bats at Las Vegas, so it appears he's starting to rediscover his stroke at the plate. "It obviously shows you one thing: he's not pouting," Collins said. "He's got something to prove, and he went down there to prove it. And I love that."

Mets optioned catcher Travis d'Arnaud to Triple-A Las Vegas. The high-priced guys aren't hitting, so the rookie takes the fall. It's happened a million times before. D'Arnaud had started just seven games since returning from a concussion that put him on DL for two weeks. He hasn't been very good at any point during his major league career, but he also has nothing left to prove in the minors and he remains a better bet than the Mets' alternatives behind the plate. They'll probably start Anthony Recker for now, backing him up with Taylor Teagarden.

Travis d'Arnaud went 2-for-6 with an RBI groundout Friday against the Phillies. D'Arnaud went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Thursday in his return from the 7-day concussion disabled list, but he had some nice at-bats Friday. The 25-year-old backstop hasn't done much offensively in small samples between last year and the early part of this year, but the Mets are still hoping he can be a long-term solution at the catcher position.
