37 Travis d'Arnaud C

Manager Dave Roberts said Monday that d'Arnaud will see the bulk of his action at first base and left field, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

D'Arnaud has played almost exclusively at catcher during parts of seven seasons in the majors, but it doesn't sound like he'll be much more than the No. 3 option behind the plate while both Austin Barnes and Russell Martin are healthy. Though getting acclimated at the two new positions will offer d'Arnaud additional avenues to enter the lineup, Roberts suggested he doesn't plan on handing the 30-year-old a start anytime soon. D'Arnaud may instead offer his most value in the short term as a pinch hitter off the bench.

D'Arnaud has signed with the Dodgers, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

The veteran backstop was cut loose by the Mets this week, but he's found a new home quickly, as he was spotted getting fitted for a cap in the Dodgers clubhouse Sunday. The Dodgers will carry three catchers with Austin Barnes and Russell Martin having split duties so far this season, and manager Dave Roberts said D'Arnaud could also see action in the infield and outfield, per Jorge Castillo of The Los Angeles Times. Matt Beaty was sent to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

D'Arnaud was released by the Mets on Friday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

D'Arnaud will hit the open market after being designated for assignment and subsequently clearing waivers. The 30-year-old backstop appeared in just 10 games for the Mets this season, going 2-for-23 (.087) with a pair of RBI.

D'Arnaud was designated for assignment by the Mets on Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The Mets waited out d'Arnaud's recovery from Tommy John surgery but gave him only 23 at-bats to prove himself this season. He'll be removed from the roster after grabbing just two hits in those at-bats. Tomas Nido was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to be the team's backup catcher.

D'Arnaud went 0-for-2 with a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.

Since coming off the IL, d'Arnaud has gone just 1-for-14 in five games. The Mets have been giving Wilson Ramos frequent rest, taking him out of the starting lineup every fourth game or so, but d'Arnaud isn't exactly doing much to warrant a larger share of the workload. Barring an injury to Ramos, he'll remain well off the fantasy radar even in deep two-catcher formats.
