Lucas Duda is not in Sunday's lineup. Scott Hairston is starting in right field and batting sixth. Duda previously started the Mets' first eight games.

Lucas Duda clubbed two solo homers in a 4-2 win over the Braves on Saturday afternoon. It was the first multi-homer game of his career. The first home run benefited from the new dimensions at Citi Field, but he didn't need any help with the second. The 26-year-old was hyped as a fantasy sleeper this spring and he is certainly playing the part thus far.

Lucas Duda went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo homer in Tuesday's win over the Nationals. Duda connected for an opposite-field home run off Stephen Strasburg in the bottom of the fourth inning. Interestingly, he didn't hit a single solo homer last year. The 26-year-old has the starting right field job all to himself and could be a sneaky late-round pick in mixed formats.

Lucas Duda returned to the Mets lineup Monday and hit a grand slam in a 7-7 tie against the Tigers. Duda, who missed three days with a stiff back, also walked in the contest. He'll give up some runs as the Mets' primary right fielder this year, but he figures to make up for it with his potent bat.

Lucas Duda (back) is not in the lineup again Sunday. Duda had hoped to return to action Saturday after being scratched from Friday's lineup due to a stiff back, but he'll now sit out another game. The good news is that he'll go through the pregame workout with teammates and he expects to be ready to play Monday.

Lucas Duda was scratched from Friday's lineup due to a stiff back. It's possible he could sit out a few games, though Duda isn't ruling himself out for Saturday. Either way, it doesn't sound like a big deal. Duda batted .292/.370/.482 with 10 homers, 52 RBI and an .852 OPS during an impressive rookie campaign and is slated to open the 2012 season as the Mets' right fielder.

Mets assistant general manager John Ricco said Monday that Lucas Duda is no longer experiencing headaches. Good news, as Duda was shut down near the end of September after slamming into the outfield wall while trying to track down a fly ball. The 25-year-old batted .292/.370/.482 with 10 homers, 52 RBI and an .852 OPS during an impressive rookie campaign and barring something unexpected, he should open 2012 as the Mets' starting right fielder.

Lucas Duda is still experiencing headaches as a result of his collision with the right-field wall on September 21. Flying when you have a concussion normally isn't recommended, but Duda will nonetheless take a plane home to California for the offseason. Hopefully his symptoms dissipate over the next few months and he can enter spring training healthy.

Mets manager Terry Collins said Lucas Duda (head) might be done for the season. Duda is still having headaches after crashing into the right field wall during Wednesday's game and is sitting out again Saturday while awaiting the results of an MRI. A concussion has not yet been ruled out. If his season is indeed over, he'll finish the year with a .292/.370/.482 batting line to go along with 10 homers and 52 RBI.

Lucas Duda (head) is out of the starting lineup for a second straight day Friday. Duda slammed into the right field wall during Wednesday's game and has experienced headaches over the past two days. He had an MRI this morning and was taking additional tests Friday afternoon. As of now, a concussion hasn't been ruled out.
