Mets' Wilmer Flores: May see regular time at first base upon return

Flores (hamstring), who is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at Double-A Binghamton, will be the team's top priority to play first base once he returns from the disabled list following Lucas Duda's placement on the DL, ESPN New York's Adam Rubin reports.

Analysis:

Eric Campbell will also be in the mix, but the Mets are holding off on moving David Wright or Neil Walker to first base in the coming weeks, while manager Terry Collins also said that Dominic Smith is not considered a short-term option. The Mets called up Ty Kelly from Triple-A to replace Duda on the roster Monday, but Flores could be in position for near everyday at-bats once he's healthy.
