Lagares was removed from Thursday's game against the Nationals in the fifth inning with an undisclosed injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He initially stayed in the game and finished out the top of the fifth after being checked on by the training staff following a diving attempt in the field. However, when Lagares' turn in the lineup came, manager Terry Collins sent up Curtis Granderson in his place. Lagares was starting to add a spark at the top of an already banged up Mets lineup, so losing him beyond Thursday would be another blow to New York. More updates on Lagares figure to come across before the Mets release their lineup Friday.
