Lagares (hamstring) started in center field and went 0-for-1 Friday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Lagares had to briefly deal with a hamstring strain, but was able to return for Friday's split-squad outing as planned. To avoid aggravating the injury, Lagares played just three innings before being replaced by Patrick Biondi. With Michael Conforto recovering from a shoulder injury, Lagares should open the season by spending plenty of time in the Mets' outfield.
