Curtis Granderson

Curtis Granderson absent from Mets' lineup on Tuesday

New York Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Atlanta Braves and R.A. Dickey.

What It Means:

Granderson is in the midst of an awful slump to start the season, so the Mets are giving him a day off to regroup. Juan Lagares is in center field and batting eighth on Tuesday.

Granderson is batting .124/.177/.213 with one home run, six RBI's and seven runs scored in 96 plate appearances so far.
