Khalil Lee kept out of Mets' lineup Monday

New York Mets outfielder Khalil Lee is out of the lineup for Monday's series opener against left-hander Austin Gomber and the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

Lee provided a pinch-hit go-ahead RBI double for the Mets on Friday but he is just 1-for-15 with 10 strikeouts since making his debut last week. Cameron Maybin, Dominic Smith, and Johneshwy Fargas will cover the outfield for the Mets on Monday night. James McCann will play first base and Tomas Nido will catch southpaw David Peterson as the Mets' fifth batter.

numberFire’s models project Nido for 9.4 FanDuel points and he has a $2,200 salary on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mets have an implied total of 3.5 runs. Gomber is registering a 24.0 strikeout percentage and 11.2 walk percentage this season.
