Mets using Lucas Duda (back) as pinch-hitter in Saturday return
New York Mets first baseman Lucas Duda (back) will be activated from the disabled list on Saturday.
It remains unknown whether or not Duda will be able to return to a full-time role this season. He's been shelved since the end of May with a stress fracture in his back.
The 30-year-old first baseman is slashing just .231/.297/.431 with a .312 wOBA in 145 plate appearances this season, but had been driving the ball well, evidenced by seven home runs and a .200 ISO.
