Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud received the go-ahead to start swinging a bat as he recovers from a finger injury, and he took 10 dry swings Monday, according to NJ.com.
While d'Arnaud has been participating in other baseball-related activities, swinging was a major step in his recovery. There is no timetable for his return to the Mets, per GM Sandy Alderson.
"It's not just about the swings," he said, noting d'Arnaud has to build up the strength to catch nine innings.
