Jose Lobaton back on the bench Thursday for Mets

New York Mets catcher Jose Lobaton is returning to the bench for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

Following Wednesday's start, Lobaton will take a rest in favor of Tomas Nido behind the plate. Nido hits eighth in the Mets' batting order.

Our models project Lobaton to tally 6 home runs, 23 RBI and 21 runs over the rest of the 2018 season.
