Buster Posey felt sudden pain in his surgically reconstructed ankle after hitting a home run last night but it sounds like he may only miss two games. Grab Wilson Ramos if he is still available in your league..

Barring any setbacks, both Seth Lugo and Steven Matz will return to the Mets rotation later this week. There were rumors about Matt Harvey going to the bullpen. There is no way that is going to happen.

Sandy Alderson says that the Mets will talk less often and with much less specificity about their injuries. “I get in trouble because I try to be as honest as I can with you guys and give you an honest look at things, and then if it doesn’t happen, we look like an idiot because there’s no guarantees, So, we’re going to try to stay away from trying to predict anything except the fact that, Hey, look, there’s a process involved of getting these injured players back on the field and it changes every day,” says Terry Collins

Ian Desmond will likely play left field when the team faces left-handed pitching, in order to keep Mark Reynolds in the lineup.
Reynolds leads the team with a .317 average, is tied with Charlie Blackmon and Nolan Arenado for the team lead with seven home runs and is second on the team with 20 RBIs.

Rumor has it that Brandon Phillips is a goner as soon as Ozzie Albies is ready for a promotion to the majors. Here is what Manager John Coppolella said exactly; Forgive me if I do not take the comments to mean that ‘Brandon Phillips is disposable’ and ‘Ozzie is anywhere near ready to play in the majors’. Sorry. Maybe I am biased, so in full disclosure, I own Phillips all over the damn place.
Trevor Story might hit 30 homers again but last season he struck out 29.9 percent, and this spring he struck out 34 percent…no rocket science here.
