Mets' Wilmer Flores: Sitting again Friday
Flores is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.
Analysis:
Flores homered earlier in the week, his 11th on the year, but he's done most of his damage against lefties. The 24-year-old has struggled against right-handers to the tune of a .209/.274/.331 line, and he committed an error at shortstop Wednesday (his second start there this season). It seems Flores may be deployed primarily on the short end of a third-base platoon with Kelly Johnson for the time being -- at least that's the way things are trending.
