Lagares (thumb) will be activated from the DL on Friday, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.

EDGE Analysis

He underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left hand back in late July. Manager Terry Collins wants Lagares back as a defensive replacement even if he's not quite ready to contribute at the plate. With that in mind, and considering the collection of better offensive options at the Mets' disposal, owners should not expect Lagares to see many at-bats in the near future.
