Lagares (muscle strain) is back in the lineup Monday against the Phillies, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

Analysis:

Lagares was a late scratch from Sunday's lineup due to muscle tightness, but will return to his regular role Monday, playing center field and batting second in the order. He's likely avoided any risk of a DL stint, but it wouldn't be surprising to see manager Terry Collins award Lagares regular maintenance days until he is 100 percent.
