Mets' Wilmer Flores: Out of Friday's lineup

Flores is out of the lineup Friday in Philadelphia.

Analysis:

Jose Reyes, who has three home runs in 26 plate appearances with the Mets this year, will get the start at third base and lead off Friday. Flores and Reyes, both of whom have pretty even career splits against righties and lefties, should wrestle for playing time at the hot corner going forward, with manager Terry Collins likely favoring whoever is swinging a hotter bat.
