The Mets have reshaped their roster over the last year and change, saying goodbye to some familiar faces (some beloved, some not) in the process. Every week, we'll take a look at how some of those former Mets are performing with their new teams...


Asdrubal Cabrera, Nationals

Cabrera has played in four of the Nats' five playoff games heading into Wednesday's Game 5, starting two of those games. Overall, he's just 1-for-8 at the plate (.125 average) with two RBI. He did not play in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Dodgers. His biggest moment of this postseason came in Game 2 of the NLDS, when he drove in an insurance run as a pinch-hitter in the top of the eighth inning of the Nats' 4-2 win.

Justin Turner, Dodgers

Turner has started all four games for the Dodgers in the NLDS, and he's provided some pop. Turner homered once each in Games 3 and 4, including a three-run shot off of Wander Suero in Game 3 that broke the game open in an eventual 10-4 Dodgers win. Turner recorded three hits in that win. Then, in Game 4, Turner launched a solo home run off of Max Scherzer in the first inning, but that would be the only run the Dodgers would score as they lost 6-1 to force a Game 5.

Adeiny Hechavarria, Braves

Hechavarria has made three appearances for the Braves in Games 1, 3 and 4 against the Cardinals. In three at-bats, Hechavarria failed to record a hit while striking out twice. He was not much of a factor for the Braves entering their Wednesday afternoon Game 5 matchup with St. Louis.

Travis d'Arnaud, Rays

The former Mets backstop has started all five of the Rays' postseason games, including the Wild Card, this year. Heading into Tampa's Game 5 matchup with the Astros, d'Arnaud is just 2-for-17 at the plate with two RBI. He recorded one hit each in Games 2 and 4. D'Arnaud has struck out five times in 17 at-bats, including a three-strikeout game in the Rays' 3-1 Game 2 loss.
