NEW YORK -- New York Mets infielder Juan Uribe, who was diagnosed with a deep chest bruise, likely remains unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field. Uribe originally was injured diving for a grounder on Sunday and departed that game.
Also on the medical front: Reliever Carlos Torres may not be available for Tuesday's game. Torres returned from a strained left calf on Sunday but was not available for Monday's series opener against the Braves because the injury apparently lingered.
In other Mets news:
• Catcher Travis d'Arnaud, who is hitless in 17 at-bats, will sit Tuesday in favor of Kevin Plawecki. Mets manager Terry Collins pledged that d'Arnaud would return to the lineup Wednesday and would not sit for multiple days because of his struggles.
• Collins suggested that Jacob deGrom, who is being skipped Tuesday in favor of Logan Verrett, will return to the rotation in five days. So figure deGrom faces the Cincinnati Reds in the series finale Sunday at Great American Ball Park.
