Mets' Neil Walker: Not in lineup for first game of twin bill

Walker is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo.

Analysis:

Manager Terry Collins will open Tuesday's doubleheader with the same lineup he was going to use Monday, which means Walker will come off the bench Tuesday afternoon. It seems likely that Walker will start the nightcap, but it remains to be seen if that will be the case with left-hander Jaime Garcia set to start that game for the Cardinals.
