Mets' Wilmer Flores: Not starting Thursday
Flores is not in the starting lineup Thursday as the Mets face the Braves.
Analysis:
Taking the day off may help Flores as he has just one hit in his last 14 at-bats. During that stretch, his batting average has dropped from .250 to .228. Kelly Johnson gets the start at third base Thursday and will bat fifth.
