Curtis Granderson

Mets' Curtis Granderson heads back to bench on Thursday

New York Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

Granderson got the start yesterday but Yoenis Cespedes' return will push him back to the pine. Cespedes will bat third in the New York lineup.

Granderson is hitting to a .215/.306/.405 slash this season. Our models like him to produce 13 homers, 38 RBI and a .244 average the rest of the way.
