4 years agoNew York Mets outfielder Dominic Smith (knee) is not in the starting lineup Wednesday. Smith banged his knee during an awkward slide at home plate in Tuesday night's outing. Manager Luis Rojas stated that Smith would be available off the bench. One of the only remaining Mets starters not on the injured list, Smith has scuffled to a .623 OPS in 156 plate appearances, but his xwOBA is 56 points higher than his wOBA, indicating some improvement should be coming. Look for him to be back in the lineup Thursday afternoon.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
