Mets C Travis d'Arnaud not destined to change positions

The Mets are not considering moving catcher Travis d'Arnaud to a new position despite his recent spate of injuries.

d'Arnaud missed 46 games this season with a broken pinkie, which was the result of a hit-by-pitch. But he also suffered a concussion last season when Alfonso Soriano hit him in the head with a backswing and broke his toe when a foul ball slammed off his foot in 2013. He is now dealing with a hyperextended elbow sustained while making a tag at the plate.

Terry Collins, however, is not about to move him elsewhere.

"I don't know why we would," he told the New York Daily News. "Number one, I don't know where he is going to go. Is he going to play third? I don't think so. Is he going to go play second, or center field or left field? If he plays, somebody doesn't."

Collins added that he hopes d'Arnaud can return to the lineup Tuesday in Milwaukee.
