Mets prospect catcher Travis d'Arnaud (foot) received clearance Monday to remove his protective boot.
D'Arnaud broke a bone in his left foot during a game with Triple-A Las Vegas in mid-April, but he'll now gradually progress with his rehab. The 24-year-old backstop will begin with upper body activities and it will likely be another 2-3 weeks before he's ready for game action. His major league debut figures to occur at some point during the second half of the season.

Mets prospect Travis d'Arnaud (foot) is scheduled to be reexamined on Monday.
D'Arnaud suffered a non-displaced fracture of the first metatarsal in his left foot during a mid-April game at Triple-A Las Vegas and is still in a protective boot. If the Mets determine he's healthy enough to resume baseball activity, it will likely still be 2-3 weeks before d'Arnaud returns to game action. The 24-year-old is not expected to be a candidate for a promotion to majors until well into the second half of the season.

Mets GM Sandy Alderson confirmed Friday that Travis d'Arnaud (foot) should be ready to play in minor league games by the end of June.
D'Arnaud is still in a walking boot, but he's hoping to be cleared for weight-bearing activities in two weeks. The 24-year-old suffered a non-displaced fracture of the first metatarsal in his left foot during a mid-April game at Triple-A Las Vegas and will continue to be moved along slowly. D'Arnaud won't be a candidate for a promotion to majors until well into the second half of the season.

Mets prospect catcher Travis d'Arnaud (foot) can't do anything weight-bearing for another two weeks.
D'Arnaud suffered a non-displaced fracture of the first metatarsal in his left foot four weeks ago in Triple-A. The Mets were hoping that he would be able to shed his walking boot Friday, but there was always the chance that he would need more time. The 24-year-old backstop is unlikely to return to game action until the end of June.

Mike Puma of the New York Post was told by a source that it will likely be 4-8 weeks before Mets prospect catcher Travis d'Arnaud will be able to resume baseball activities.
D'Arnaud suffered a non-displaced fracture of the first metatarsal in his left foot while attempting to catch a foul ball during Wednesday's game with Triple-A Las Vegas. Doctors in New York want to see him before a strict timetable is set, but he may not be ready for game action until sometime in June.

Mets catching prospect Travis d'Arnaud has been diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture in his left big toe.
The talented young backstop has been fitted with a walking boot and will likely be held out of action at Triple-A Las Vegas for the next couple of weeks. He is not expected to join the Mets until June anyway, so the organization can play this thing as safe as possible.

Mets reassigned C Travis d'Arnaud, LHP Aaron Laffey, OF Andrew Brown, INF/OF Brian Bixler, and RF Jamie Hoffmann to minor league camp.
Travis d'Arnaud posted an .872 OPS in 16 games this spring, but the Mets were never expected to keep him on the Opening Day roster. He has little left to prove at the Triple-A level and should make his major league debut at some point this season. Laffey and Brown will represent organizational depth.

Travis d'Arnaud went 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored in the Mets' 3-2 win over the Cardinals on Monday.
He's up to .345 with four doubles in 29 at-bats for the spring. With the Mets likely on their way to a 90-loss season, there isn't any reason for them to carry d'Arnaud on the Opening Day roster. They'll probably have him replace John Buck as their catcher come June.
