4 years agoNew York Mets infielder Jed Lowrie (knee) is reportedly a full go according to manager Luis Rojas and is expected to play in a simulated game on Sunday. Lowrie played just nine games in 2019 due to knee issues and has dealt with complications related to knee surgery since the spring. If Lowrie proves to be healthy by the start of the season, he will function in a utility infielder role for the Mets. As a utility infielder, however, it would take an injury to Jeff McNeil, Robinson Cano and/or Amed Rosario to guarantee consistent playing time. As such, even if healthy, Lowrie is nothing more than a waiver claim as bench depth in NL-only formats.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
