Rene Rivera on Mets' bench Tuesday evening

New York Mets catcher Rene Rivera is not starting on Tuesday against the New York Yankees.

What It Means:

Rivera went 0-for-3 while filling in behind the plate on Monday. Travis d'Arnaud will catch right-hander Jacob deGrom and bat eighth tonight versus Yankees right-hander Sonny Gray.

numberFire's models project Rivera to record a .213 batting average in 66 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
