Robinson Cano on Mets' bench Thursday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano is not starting in Thursday afternoon's series finale versus right-hander Aaron Nola and the Philadelphia Phillies.

What It Means:

Cano went 0-for-5 for the second time this series on Wednesday. He's gone just 6-for-41 (.146) in 11 games this month. Jeff McNeil is covering second base Thursday while Michael Conforto slides to right field and hits third. Juan Lagares is starting in center and batting eighth.

numberFire's models expect Cano to record 6 homers, 29 RBI, and 27 runs scored over the rest of the season.
