Travis d’Arnaud will have Tommy John surgery, Mets call up Jose Lobaton and Brandon Nimmo, option Jacob Rhame

The New York Mets announced on Friday that catcher Travis d’Arnaud will have Tommy John Surgery to repair a partial UCL tear. The team has placed him on the 60-day disabled list.

Earlier in the day, the Mets announced that they were placing catcher Kevin Plawecki on the 10-day disabled list with a hairline fracture in his right hand, an injury Plawecki sustained in Wednesday’s game against the Miami Marlins. Plawecki is expected to miss 3-4 weeks of action.

To replace d’Arnaud, the Mets purchased the contract of catcher Jose Lobatón, who signed with the team on a minor league in the offseason.
