Curtis Granderson

Curtis Granderson (rest) not in Mets' Sunday lineup

Granderson appears to be getting a breather today as the Mets aim to salvage a win today against the Cards. John Mayberry Jr. will play right field batting sixth.

What It Means:

Mayberry is having a disappointing year carrying a paltry .186 batting average and .269 wOBA off the bench while knocking 3 home runs and a posting a -0.43 nERD. He'll face the Cardinals' rookie Tim Cooney, against whom righties are batting .243 with three bombs.

On the year, Cooney has yet to receive a decision in four starts brandishing a 4.34 ERA and a 0.35 nERD.
