Mets' Patrick Mazeika moving to bench in Wednesday matinee

New York Mets catcher Patrick Mazeika is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

Mazeika started behind the plate in Tuesday's loss to the Braves, but he's yielding duties back to Tomas Nido for Wednesday's series finale. Nido will catch for Chris Bassitt and hit ninth.

numberFire’s models project Nido for 6.8 FanDuel points on Wednesday afternoon, and he has a $2,000 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mets’ implied total (3.67) is currently 24th in the majors on Wednesday.
