Mets' Wilmer Flores: Launches homer Monday

Flores got the start at first base during Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros, going 1-for-3 with a solo home run.

Analysis:

He could see more action at first base than anticipated early in the season, given Lucas Duda's ongoing back issues, but Flores still figures to serve mainly as a platoon option off the bench this season for the Mets. His power and multiple paths to playing time still make him a viable roster option in deep NL-only formats, however.
