Box Score Of The Week: Mets, August 16

Here is the Mets's box score from Wednesday night, a 5-3 loss to the Yankees:

"The Catcher Switched to Third. Then to Second. Then Back to Third. 22 Times."

James Wagner, New York Times, August 17, 2017

An hour and a half before the Mets' 5-3 loss to the Yankees on Wednesday night, catcher Travis d'Arnaud was told he was needed to switch positions because of an emergency. This surely came as a surprise to d'Arnaud; in his 11 years of professional baseball, he has been exclusively a catcher, save for a two-game cameo at first base five years ago in the minor leagues.
