EDGE Analysis

Lagares has been out since mid-June with a thumb injury after trying to play through it earlier in the month. Instead of electing to undergo surgery, Lagares opted to rest and rehab his thumb and played in three rehab contests with Double-A Binghamton, going 4-for-14 with one triple and two RBI. Prior to going on the disabled list, the 27-year-old had been batting .289/.326/.433 with two home runs and six RBI during 90 at-bats with the Mets this season.
