Mark Canha Sitting In Game 1

New York Mets outfielder Mark Canha is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Canha also sat out Friday night's win over the Phillies, but he'll almost certainly return for the nightcap in Game 2. The 33-year-old isn't flashy, but he's had a solid […]

Pete Alonso Reaches 30-Homer Mark

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 2-for-5 with a home run, double, a run scored and three RBI in the team's 7-2 win over the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night. With the performance, Alonso became the fastest player in franchise history to record 100 RBI in a single season. The 27-year-old has […]

Taijuan Walker Won't Pitch Sunday

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker (back) will not make his next scheduled start on Sunday against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies, but he's "doing well," according to skipper Buck Showalter. Walker will avoid a trip to the injured list for now. The Mets were optimistic earlier this week that the 30-year-old right-hander would be […]

David Peterson Starting Second Game Of Doubleheader

New York Mets left-hander David Peterson has been called up as the 27th man on Saturday for the team's doubleheader against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. Peterson will make the start in Game 2. The 26-year-old southpaw has been solid in 18 appearances for New York this year, going 6-2 with a 3.30 ERA (4.01 FIP), […]

Brett Baty Hitting Eighth Against Phillies

New York Mets rookie third baseman Brett Baty is starting at third base and is batting eighth on Saturday against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler. It will be his fourth straight start after being called up earlier in the week. In his first major league at-bat, Baty homered, and he's gone 3-for-10 (.300) with the […]

Jose Butto Currently With Mets In Philadephia

New York Mets starting pitcher prospect Jose Butto is with the team in Philadelphia for their weekend series against the Phillies. With Taijuan Walker (back) questionable for his start on Sunday, and David Peterson and Trevor Williams each starting Saturday in a doubleheader, there is a chance that Butto will make his major league debut […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/20/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

There's a little more of an even split in the FanDuel and DraftKings tournaments tonight compared to the last few Saturdays. There are six matinees, leaving a nine-game main slate. It takes some of the talent out of the pool, but there are still plenty of good spots tonight. There are two pitchers costing more […]

Mark Canha Retreats To The Bench

New York Mets outfielder Mark Canha is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. It appears to just be a normal day off for Canha, who has gone 11-for-40 (.275) with a homer, eight RBI and eight runs scored in 16 games so far in the month of August. The […]

James McCann Resting On Friday

New York Mets catcher James McCann is getting the day off on Friday against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. It's just a regular day off for the 32-year-old backstop, who has played in just 39 games for the Mets this year due to injuries. He's gone 20-for-111 (.180) with two home runs, 13 RBI, 10 runs […]

David Peterson Likely To Be Recalled

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson is expected to be recalled for Saturday's doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies. The left-hander could very well stay up at the big league with Carlos Carrasco (oblique) sidelined. He holds a 3.30 ERA and 91/38 K/BB ratio over 79 innings this season. Those are fairly decent stats, so […]

Francisco Alvarez Struggling In Triple-A

New York Mets catcher prospect Francisco Alvarez has struggled since his promotion to Triple-A Syracuse on August 5. The top prospect in the game, Alvarez cruised through Double-A with a .277 batting average to go along with 16 doubles, 18 homers, 47 RBI and a .921 OPS. That was enough for the Mets to promote […]

New York Mets designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The slugger struggles against lefties, and Atlanta is deploying southpaw Max Fried for the series finale. Pete Alonso will start in his place.

Eduardo Escobar Officially Lands On Injured List

New York Mets third baseman Eduardo Escobar (oblique) has been officially placed on the 10-day injured list. The 33-year-old suffered a left oblique strain last week. The expectation was that he'd need a trip to the injured list, but the team was trying to wait it out. He was in the lineup on Tuesday, but […]

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker (back) came back with a clean MRI on Wednesday, according to manager Buck Showalter. This is good news after Walker was removed early during his start on Tuesday. It sounds like Walker will avoid a trip to the injured list, but could miss his next scheduled start. At […]
