Catcher Travis d’Arnaud will be in a splint for three weeks and lefty relief specialist Jerry Blevins will be in a cast for six weeks, the Mets announced after the players were examined Monday at the Hospital for Special Surgery.
Both d’Arnaud and Blevins were injured Sunday in the Mets’ 7-6 victory over the Marlins, their eighth straight win but one that came at a supremely high cost.
Blevins suffered what the team called a distal radius fracture of the left arm when he was struck by a line drive off the bat of Miami’s Dee Gordon in the top of the seventh.
