Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud suffered a setback on his rehab assignment, which will delay his return to the lineup.
He took himself out of a rehab game Thursday for Class A St. Lucie after feeling pain in his wrist. He saw a hand specialist, who diagnosed the injury as a bone bruise in his right hand.
“He felt it swinging in his third at-bat last night so, not knowing what it was, took himself out,” general manager Sandy Alderson said, per the New York Daily News.
Earlier Friday, manager Terry Collins said d'Arnaud would need 20-25 at-bats on his rehab assignment before coming off the disabled list. He is 0 for 6 with one RBI, one walk and one strikeout through his first two games with Class A St. Lucie.
