Andres Torres will bat leadoff and play center field Tuesday against the Yankees. As expected. The Mets are giving up the opportunity to backdate a potential disabled list stint by playing Torres in a Grapefruit League game, so they are taking the chance that he is fully recovered from his calf strain. Assuming he's 100 percent, Vinny Rottino will head down to the minors while Scott Hairston moves into a backup role.
