Mets' d'Arnaud to DL with partial UCL tear

New York Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud has a partial tear of the UCL in his right elbow and could have Tommy John surgery.

The Mets placed d'Arnaud on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday and recalled catcher Tomas Nido from Double-A Birmingham in a corresponding roster move.

D'Arnaud underwent an MRI and other tests at the Hospital for Special Surgery. D'Arnaud and the Mets have not decided yet whether to have the surgery.

It is not clear when d'Arnaud suffered the injury to his throwing elbow. Kevin Plawecki figures to see the bulk of the playing time in his absence, with Nido serving as a backup.
