New York Mets outfielder Juan Lagares is not in the starting lineup on Friday against Tigers left-handed starting pitcher Gregory Soto. Carlos Gomez is starting in center field and batting sixth, while Rajai Davis is in right field and hitting seventh. Gomez is coming off a big three-run home run in the win over the Nationals on Thursday, but neither he nor Davis will be lighting up the scoreboard very often moving forward. Gomez is the more attractive deep DFS sleeper in a good matchup on F[...]

The New York Mets won their third consecutive game against the Washington Nationals Wednesday night led by a pair of big hits. The first came in the eighth after trailing since the first inning, and it came with the bases loaded. Outfielder Juan Lagares drilled a three-run double, his only hit of the game but a major one. While three men had already been on base, Lagares' hit kept the train moving as the Mets would eventually win, 6-1. While couple of players were lost to injury on [...]

New York Mets outfielders Brandon Nimmo and Juan Lagares will be on the bench for Sunday's game against the Nationals. Jeff McNeil will start in left for Nimmo and bat leadoff, while Keon Broxton will be in center field and bat eighth for the Mets. McNeil has been forcing the Mets to find him a place to play, batting .368 with three extra-base hits and three runs batted in. Broxton has four hits this year and has started in each of the last two games. Facing off against Max Scherzer, neither McN[...]

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil and outfielder Juan Lagares are not in the starting lineup on Saturday. J.D. Davis will play third base and bat cleanup, while Keon Broxton is in center field and is hitting eighth against Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin. Davis is just 3-for-20 (.150) on the season and hasn't done much at all in his 72 career big league games, but he presents sleeper status in DFS in the cleanup spot against the southpaw. Broxton has three hits in his [...]

New York Mets center fielder Juan Lagares has gotten off to a rough start at the plate in 2019. The former Gold Glove winner had just two hits in 13 plate appearances entering Thursday's series opener against the Nationals. He would have two additional plate appearances, going hitless and striking out once before getting removed for pinch-hitter Dominic Smith in the seventh. The 30-year-old could simply be getting readjusted, as he also struggled during spring training following an injury-shor[...]

New York Mets outfielder Juan Lagares' X-rays on his finger came back negative on Monday night after he was hit by a pitch while attempting to bunt. He went 1-for-3 with a homer, two runs and an RBI before leaving, so it was a good game for the defensive-minded center fielder. The 30-year-old has never hit more than six home runs in a season and has only 20 long balls in 586 games over seven years, so you shouldn't count on more power. Lagares should be fine, but he might sit out a game or two. [...]

New York Mets first baseman Peter Alonso is likely to hit second in the Opening Day lineup on Thursday against Nationals ace Max Scherzer, which means outfielder Juan Lagares is expected to hit seventh. Alonso is a budding power prospect that needs to be owned in all leagues, but he'll face a tough task right off the bat and will probably be faded by most in DFS. Lagares is better known for his glove than bat and has very little fantasy upside hitting low in the batting order.
