Thursday's Headlines: d'Arnaud, Wright, first-round pick, and more.

This past week, the Mets (32-40) dropped two out of three to the Cardinals (39-33) Bartolo Colon and the Mets salvaged the final game of the series on Wednesday afternoon. Colon not only pitched a gem, but contributed with his first career extra base hit in the sixth inning. Here are the headlines heading into Thursday's game day:

• An organizational source told ESPN that Catcher Travis d'Arnaud may be back with the Mets next week when the Mets play the A's at Citi Field. Travis is tearing the cover off the ball at Triple-A Las Vegas hitting .395 with 5 HR and 10 RBI. Manager Terry Collins recently spoke to reports, essentially saying not to buy into the numbers at the Triple-A level. The Mets hope a few weeks away from the big league team did enough to clear his head and get him back on track. 
• David Wright hit his first road home run, only his 5th of the season, on Tuesday night in a loss to the Cardinals. David also contributed a double in that game, and a bloop RBI single in yesterday's win. David's struggles have been well documented this season. Through 32 at-bats, this stands to be Wright's worst season of his career by a wide margin. “If I start worrying about who is hitting behind me then I overthink my at bat,” Wright told MetsBlog. “If I think a pitcher is going to ‘pitch around me,’ then I won’t be ready for a mistake that the pitcher makes.”
• The Mets have agreed to terms with their first round draft pick, outfielder Michael Conforto. At just 21 years old, Conforto was viewed as one of the best hitters int he draft. Conforto is expected to begin his Mets career in Short-Season A-ball with the Brooklyn Cyclones. 

Next up, the Mets begin a four game set with the Miami Marlins, beginning Thursday night at 7:10 PM. The game can be heard on 710 WOR and seen on SNY. Giancarlo Stanton will not be available for the Marlins tonight. Zack Wheeler gets the nod for the Mets.
