April 20th, 2017

NEW YORK -- Mets first baseman and catcher were both forced out of Wednesday night's 5-4 win over the Phillies with injuries.
Duda suffered a hyperextended left elbow on a play at first base in the fifth inning. d'Arnaud left the game two innings later with a right wrist contusion.
Mets manager Terry Collins said after the game that Duda's range of motion had improved significantly after treatment. Collins said the Mets will know more about the severity of the two injuries Thursday, but d'Arnaud said he doesn't expect to miss further time.

"If the team needs me, I'll be good to go," said d'Arnaud, who likely wouldn't start Thursday night's series finale anyway, with on the mound.
Duda was hurt when he reached to his left to receive a throw from pitcher , who had fielded 's roller up the first-base line. The ball and Hernandez reached first base at about the same time, and Hernandez's left shoulder hit Duda's glove. Gsellman was charged with an error on the play.

Hernandez then stole second base, and d'Arnaud's arm hit 's bat as he was trying to make a throw. d'Arnaud remained in the game, as did Duda, but the Mets had pinch-hit for Duda in the bottom of the inning and brought in to replace d'Arnaud behind the plate to begin the seventh.
