Mets' Jay Bruce exits game due to back tightness

New York Mets outfielder Jay Bruce left Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres due to back tightness.

What It Means:

Bruce left in the sixth inning and was replaced in the field and the lineup by Juan Lagares. Bruce was 1-for-3 with one run scored and two strikeouts before being forced to leave. Consider him day-to-day.

Bruce is batting .250 with a .358 wOBA, 11 home runs, and 30 RBI's in 181 plate appearances this season.
