Adrian Gonzalez takes a seat on the Mets' bench in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader

New York Mets first baseman Adrian Gonzalez is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader with the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

Gonzalez gets the afternoon off while Jay Brice takes over first base duties. The veteran first baseman is available to pinch hit and could see action in the night game.

numberFire's models project Gonzalez for 7 homers, 39 RBI, and a .249 batting average in 331 plate appearances the rest of the season.
