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