New York Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud is absent from the team's Friday lineup versus the Atlanta Braves.
It appears that the Mets are starting to rotate their catchers on a poor consistent basis down the stretch. With that, d'Arnaud will be on the bench as Kevin Plawecki catches and hits fourth tonight.
After going 1-for-3 with a solo dinger last night, look for d'Arnaud to tally 1 home run, 2 doubles and 4 RBI over 40 plate appearances the rest of the year.
