Wilmer Flores (rib cage) out again for Mets on Thursday

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores (rib cage) remains out of the lineup on Thursday against the New York Yankees.

What It Means:

Flores was a late scratch Wednesday due to soreness on the left side of his rib cage and he will remain out on Thursday. Matt Reynolds was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to start at third base in tonight's series finale. He will bat eighth versus Yankees right-hander Luis Severino.

Over 94 games this season, Flores is slashing .281/.317/.491 with 14 home runs, 38 RBI, and 37 runs scored. numberFire's models project him to record a .280 batting average across 100 remaining plate appearances with another 4 home runs, 15 RBI, and 11 runs scored.
