Lagares (illness) started in center field and went hitless across three at-bats Saturday in the Mets' 7-5 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Lagares was unavailable off the bench for a couple games earlier in the week while tending to an illness, but his entry into the starting nine confirms the ailment is a thing of the past. He'll continue to work in a reserve role for the Mets moving forward, with most of Lagares' opportunities coming as a late-inning defensive replacement.
