Loney is out of the lineup Sunday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

With the left-handed Clayton Richard taking the mound for San Diego, Loney will get the day off. Robbie Ray (another southpaw) is scheduled to start Monday when the Mets begin their series against the Diamondbacks, so it's quite possible that Loney could be out of the lineup two days in a row. During his absence, Wilmer Flores will move over to first and bat fifth.
