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. May 18 - 9:59 AM

Travis d'Arnaud - C - Mets

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.

Mets prospect catcher Travis d'Arnaud (foot) is expected to miss around eight weeks.

Travis d'Arnaud - C - Mets

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 (foot) will be ready for 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.

Travis d'Arnaud - C - Mets

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 be held out of action indefinitely at Triple-A Las Vegas. He is not expected to join the Mets until June anyway, so the organization can play this thing as safe as they'd like. D'Arnaud is headed to New York to be examined by team doctors.

Travis d'Arnaud - C - Mets

Mets optioned C Travis d'Arnaud to Triple-A Las Vegas; reassigned LHP Aaron Laffey, OF Andrew Brown, INF/OF Brian Bixler, and RF Jamie Hoffmann to minor league camp.

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 - C - Mets

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.

Travis d'Arnaud - C - Mets

Travis d'Arnaud left Friday's game after being hit by a pitch just below his right elbow.

He felt some tightness in the area and had a wrap on it after the game, but he's expected to the fine. d'Arnaud will begin the season as Triple-A Las Vegas' catcher.

Travis d'Arnaud - C - Mets

Mets GM Sandy Alderson said Thursday that Travis d'Arnaud could open the 2013 season in the majors.

But it seems unlikely to happen. "I just don’t want to rule anything out," Alderson said in an interview on New York's WFAN. "But at the same time, I don’t want to create false expectations for our fans or put pressure on Travis." The young catcher is exceptionally talented but hasn't played since last June because of a knee injury. He'll be better suited spending a few more months at Triple-A. Of course, doing so would also delay his service time.

Travis d'Arnaud - C - Mets

Mets acquired C Travis d'Arnaud from the Blue Jays in the seven-player R.A. Dickey trade.

The 23-year-old was considered the Blue Jays' top prospect and should eventually develop into an All-Star catcher in the major leagues. He hit .333/.380/.595 with 16 home runs and 52 RBI in 67 games this summer with Triple-A Las Vegas and shows good athleticism behind the plate. The Mets also got top pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard, big-league catcher John Buck and 18-year-old outfielder Wulimer Becerra from Toronto.

Travis d'Arnaud - C - Mets

Andy Martino of the New York Daily News confirms that the Blue Jays are willing to offer Travis d’Arnaud and Anthony Gose in a trade for R.A. Dickey.

CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman hears that an agreement on the players involved has been reached. If d'Arnaud is traded, the deal is likely to be expanded to more than just Dickey coming over from the Mets, as the 23-year-old was ranked by Baseball America as the 17th-best prospect prior to last season. According to Martino, Dickey is willing to sign a contract extension with the Blue Jays.

Travis d'Arnaud - C - Mets

According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, the Mets may land prospect catcher Travis d'Arnaud from the Blue Jays in an R.A. Dickey trade.

Heyman cautions that the information is unconfirmed, but he hears that d'Arnaud has been discussed heavily in trade talks along with fellow catcher J.P. Arencibia. The 23-year-old is arguably the game's top catching prospect and would be a tremendous get for the Mets. The 23-year-old backstop hit a blistering .333/.380/.595 with 16 homers and 52 RBI in just 67 games at Triple-A Las Vegas before a knee injury ended his season in late June.

Travis d'Arnaud - C - Mets

Blue Jays recalled C Travis d'Arnaud from Triple-A Buffalo.

The best catching prospect in the game, d'Arnaud batted .333/.380/.595 with 16 homers at Triple-A this year before a knee injury ended his season in late June. He should make his major league debut sometime in 2013.

Travis d'Arnaud - C - Mets

Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Friday that Travis D'Arnaud (knee) will likely miss the rest of the minor league season.

The 23-year-old catcher tore the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in late June. While the injury didn't require surgery, he was given a 6-8 week recovery timetable. It's a shame, as d'Arnaud was hitting 333/.380/.595 with 16 homers and 52 RBI in 67 games this season at the Triple-A level. He will likely be sent to the Arizona Fall League to get at-bats.
