Villar isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Villar had started each of the last two games after he was reinstated from the injured list Sunday, but he went 0-for-6 with four strikeouts. Jose Peraza will take his place at the hot corner and bat seventh.

Villar (calf) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Villar spent the past two days with Triple-A Syracuse on a rehab assignment and went 0-for-6 with a run, a walk and a strikeout across two games. The 30-year-old is starting at third base and batting eighth in Sunday's nightcap, and he could split time with Luis Guillorme at the hot corner until J.D. Davis (hand) completes his rehab assignment.

Villar (calf) is expected to be activated between the games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees, and manager Luis Rojas said there's a "big chance" the infielder starts Game 2, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Villar appeared in two rehab games at Triple-A Syracuse over the past two days and is apparently ready to rejoin the active roster. The 30-year-old could split playing time at third base with Luis Guillorme until J.D. Davis (hand) completes his own rehab assignment.

Villar (calf) is scheduled to play nine innings with Triple-A Syracuse on Friday and could be activated from the 10-day injured list as early as Saturday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old began a rehab assignment at Syracuse on Thursday, and he won't require more than a couple rehab games since he's only been sidelined since June 22. Villar could immediately see some playing time at third base once activated, though it could be a brief opportunity with J.D. Davis (hand) also nearing his return.

Villar (calf) will begin a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Syracuse, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rehab assignment doesn't figure to be a lengthy one, as Villar has only missed about a week with his right calf strain. The 30-year-old will likely have a reduced role once activated, but his versatility will keep him in the mix around the Mets' infield.

Villar (calf) is expected to report to Triple-A Syracuse for a rehab assignment sometime this week, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old landed on the injured list Friday with a strained right calf, but the Mets apparently still plan to send him on a rehab assignment before returning him to the big-league roster. J.D. Davis will begin his rehab stint Wednesday, so Villar likely will have a reduced role once both players return from the shelf.

Villar was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain Friday, retroactive to June 22.
EDGE Analysis
Villar left the second game of Monday's doubleheader with a calf injury and hasn't returned since. He was unavailable for Friday's twin bill and will have additional time to recover. Luis Guillorme will start at third base and bat sixth in Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader, while Travis Blankenhorn was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of the nightcap.

Villar (calf) continues to be evaluated, and the Mets are uncertain about his availability for Friday's doubleheader versus the Phillies, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old sat out the past two games after exiting Monday's twin bill with tightness in his right calf, and it appears he'll be limited, if available at all, for Friday's doubleheader. Villar's calf issue is to the same leg in which he felt hamstring tightness earlier in June, so the team is being extra cautious to avoid worsening either injury. Unsurprisingly, he's not in the starting nine for Friday's matinee, per Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News.

Villar (calf) isn't starting Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Villar underwent an MRI on Wednesday that came back clean, but he'll still be out of the lineup for a second straight contest. However, manager Luis Rojas said that the 30-year-old will be available off the bench, so he should still be considered day-to-day.

Villar (calf) is out of the lineup Tuesday versus Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Villar left Game 2 of Monday's twin bill with tightness in his right calf, and he'll be sidelined for at least one game. Luis Guillorme will start at the hot corner Tuesday for New York.
