Juan Lagares went 3-for-4 with a go-ahead RBI double in Friday's win over the Phillies. Lagares doubled off Cole Hamels with two outs in the top of the sixth inning to break a 3-3 tie. The 24-year-old has hit safely in four straight games and six out of his last seven, but the Mets are mostly playing him for his defense in center field as opposed to his bat. Steer clear outside of deeper NL-only formats.

Mets recalled OF Juan Lagares from Triple-A Las Vegas. Lagares, 24, owns a .282/.322/.405 batting line over parts of eight seasons in the minors. He doesn't have the best approach at the plate, but can hit lefties and is capable of playing all three outfield positions. Kirk Nieuwenhuis was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding roster move.

According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, the Mets are likely to promote outfielder Juan Lagares as soon as Tuesday.

Lagares, 24, is batting .346 (27-for-78) with three home runs and nine RBI through 17 games this season with Triple-A Las Vegas. He's capable of playing all three outfield spots.

Mets recalled OF Juan Lagares from Double-A Binghamton. Lagares batted .283/.334/.389 with four homers and 21 steals at Double-A this year. The 23-year-old isn't big league-ready.

Mets purchased the contract of OF Juan Lagares from Double-A Binghamton. Lagares, who turns 23 in March, batted .349/.383/.500 with nine homers, 71 RBI, 15 stolen bases and an .883 OPS over 505 plate appearances this season between High-A St. Lucie and Double-A Binghamton. He wasn't on the radar a year ago, but has quickly emerged as one of the Mets' best outfield prospects.
