Just when New York Mets fans were getting comfortable with the idea that things were going their way for once, the injury bug decided to shake things up.
Starting catcher Travis d’Arnaud, who injured his elbow earlier in the week, has decided to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery, according to MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo.
Travis d'Arnaud has indeed decided to undergo Tommy John surgery, the Mets announced. He'll miss the rest of the 2018 season.

While Tommy John surgery typically takes 12-to-18 months to recover from, that’s only true for pitchers.
