With the visiting Brewers on the verge of a sweep and his team having fallen to a .500 record after one month, Mets General Manager Brodie Van Wagenen announced Sunday that the reserve catcher Travis d’Arnaud had been designated for assignment.
It was not unexpected. D’Arnaud had struggled since returning to the majors less than a year since undergoing Tommy John surgery. In the previous night’s loss, fans booed d’Arnaud before his first at-bat, after he struck out and one last time when he was thrown out at second after trying to stretch a single into a double.
