A team source said Mets catcher prospect Travis d'Arnaud (foot) has been cleared to begin playing in minor-league games later this week, per ESPN. d'Arnaud received the clearance after a medical exam in New York Monday.
d'Arnaud, who has been sidelined since mid-April with a broken foot, will run the bases Tuesday and Wednesday before playing in a game Thursday. He will start out playing for Class A St. Lucie before returning to the PCL.
d'Arnaud is expected to be a September call-up, per ESPN.
