Mets giving Travis d'Arnaud day off versus Kansas City

New York Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud is sitting out Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals.

What It Means:

Rene Rivera will be playing catcher for the Mets and batting eighth with Royals' left-hander Danny Duffy on the mound. d'Arnaud went 0-for-3 with a whiff on Tuesday, his first outing since April.

Our models currently project d'Arnaud to slash .238/.320/.400 in 147 appearances at the plate over the remainder of the season, expecting him to log four home runs and 17 more RBI's.
