D'Arnaud has been struggling of late with only six hits in his last 31 at-bats while not having a hit over his last 15 at-bats. Kevin Plawecki will start behind the plate with little to no fantasy value. Plawecki has a .227 BA this season in limited action. He will bat eighth right in front of starting pitcher Logan Verrett, which could limit his fantasy value even more.
Wright is a player that needs to be monitored everyday on the field and in the fantasy realm. The third baseman has eight hits over his last 22 at-bats. His power numbers aren’t there anymore but he can help fill the total bases and help the batting average category for a fantasy team. The Mets captain is batting second Tuesday against right-hander Matt Wisler.
