ATLANTA _ Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud avoided the disabled list when he first injured his right wrist a few weeks ago. Now he finds himself hoping to do it again.
Manager Terry Collins said doctors were scheduled to check out d'Arnaud before Thursday night's series finale against the Braves. The exam comes two days after d'Arnaud was forced from Tuesday night's game after aggravating the injury.
"Until the doctor examines him, I don't know what to tell you except there's a concern because he's hurt," Collins said. "Two days and he's still pretty sore today. There's still some swelling there, so we'll have to wait until the medical people look at him to see what they think, to see what kind of time frame they're looking at."
D'Arnaud initially bruised his wrist on April 19. He avoided a stint on the DL, easing his way back into the starting lineup after being limited to pinch-hitting duty. But d'Arnaud was injured again on Tuesday night and unavailable off the bench on Wednesday night.
The Mets have kept catcher Kevin Plawecki on the roster as insurance for d'Arnaud.
