  • Out again Monday
    Stephenson (hand) didn't play in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Padres.

    Advice: Stephenson has now missed two consecutive matchups after being struck on the right hand by a pitch Saturday against the Rangers. Luke Maile drew the start behind the dish Monday and could continue to see playing time until Stephenson is cleared to return. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:27 pm
     
  • Swats another homer
    Jansen went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 6-5 win over the Royals.

    Advice: Jansen tagged Jonathan Bowlan for a solo homer in the third inning, marking the catcher's second home run in the last three games. After missing the first few weeks of the season with an injury, Jansen is slashing .269/.387/.615 with a 12.9 percent strikeout rate in 31 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:25 pm
     
  • Delivers first homer of 2024
    Fermin went 2-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Fermin started behind the dish due to Salvador Perez getting the day off. Fermin notched his second multi-hit game of the campaign and his eighth-inning solo home run off Erik Swanson marked Fermin's 10th career long ball. In 47 plate appearances, Fermin is slashing .227/.277/.318 and is striking out at a 10.6 percent clip. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:22 pm
     
  • Beginning on bench Monday
    Trevino is not in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup against Baltimore.

    Advice: Trevino had a big game in New York's 15-5 rout of the Brewers on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a run and three RBI. However, he's ceding the start behind the plate to Austin Wells on Monday. Trevino has put up far better offensive numbers this season, but Wells continues to get slightly more playing time -- over New York's past eight games, Wells has started behind the plate on five occasions while Trevino has gotten three starts.

  • Retreats to bench Monday
    Sanchez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Sanchez went 3-for-10 with a pair of doubles, a walk, two runs and an RBI while making starts in each of the last three games, with two coming as a designated hitter and one coming at catcher. The Brewers haven't yet shown a willingness to deploy Sanchez at DH on a consistent basis, so he seems likely to remain in a part-time role while top backstop William Contreras is healthy.

  • Absent from lineup
    Herrera is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Detroit.

    Advice: Herrera's bat has slowed and with it so has his playing time, as he's now started just four of the last 10 games and is 0-for-15 at the plate over that span. Willson Contreras is catching Monday, while Paul Goldschmidt is getting a start at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:14 pm
     
  • Taking control of catching gig
    Nido will start at catcher and bat ninth Monday against the Cubs, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Nido is behind the plate for the fourth time in five games and appears to be the Mets' preferred option at catcher over Omar Narvaez while Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is on the shelf. Though he's well regarded for his framing and ability to manage the Mets' pitching staff, Nido is a career .213 hitter and offers little power or speed, making him uninteresting for fantasy purposes outside of NL-only leagues.

  • Playing second fiddle to Nido
    Narvaez is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Cubs, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Narvaez started three of the first four games at catcher after Francisco Alvarez (thumb) got hurt and was placed on the injured list, but it's now been Tomas Nido behind the plate for four of the last five contests. The 32-year-old Narvaez is slashing just .204/.271/.284 as a Met since the beginning of last season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:36 am
