Mets' Wilmer Flores: Out Wednesday

Flores is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Adam Rubin of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

After starting five consecutive games, Flores will take the night off in favor of left-handed hitting Kelly Johnson as manager Terry Collins look to get the best possible matchups against Max Scherzer. It is likely that Flores returns to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.
