Lagares is on the bench for Tuesday's game against Chris Young and the Royals, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

With a righty on the hill, Alejandro De Aza starts in center with Michael Conforto at designated hitter. This decision is not a huge surprise, as most of Lagares' action will come against lefties, despite Sunday's start versus Edinson Volquez. Lagares carried his strong spring training play into the year, looking fluid in center field while dispelling any lingering concerns about his elbow on a throw to third base.
