Mets' Travis d'Arnaud: Will not start first game of doubleheader

D'Arnaud is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo.

Analysis:

As was going to be the case before Monday's game was rained out, d'Arnaud will cede the catching duties to Rene Rivera with Noah Syndergaard on the mound for the Mets. The Mets will play again Tuesday night and it seems likely d'Arnaud will start that game so Rivera does not have to catch 18 innings Tuesday.
