New York Mets SS Jose Reyes, OF Curtis Granderson and OF Michael Conforto are not in the starting lineup for the second game of a doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday, July 26. OF Juan Lagares will start in center field and is batting first in the lineup against Cardinals SP Jaime Garcia. SS Wilmer Flores will start at third base and is batting fourth, while OF Alejandro De Aza will start in right field and is batting seventh.

Fantasy Tip: Lagares, Flores and De Aza have all struggled at the plate over the last seven days and should not be considered by owners in most mixed leagues.

New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson (calf) went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in his return to the lineup Sunday, July 3, against the Chicago Cubs.

Fantasy Tip: His power has never been in doubt, but his .232 average limits his appeal to NL-only leagues and makes him an all-or-nothing DFS option.

New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson (calf) will start in right field against Chicago Cubs SP Jon Lester Sunday, July 3, and is batting second in the lineup.

Fantasy Tip: Granderson has missed the last three games because of his calf injury but appears ready to play. He hit .255 with four home runs and six RBI in June and should be a decent option for owners in daily fantasy league owners looking for power.

Updating a previous report, New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson (calf) has a right calf strain and is expected to be out of the lineup for at least two games.

Fantasy Tip: Make arrangements to be without Granderson over the weekend. Brandon Nimmo and Alejandro De Aza should see regular playing time and receive a boost in fantasy value in the short term. However, Nimmo is the target of preference in cavernous mixed and NL-only setups. With the All-Star break nearing, New York could be very cautious with Granderson to ensure he is healthy for the second half. Stay tuned for updates.

New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson (calf) remains out of the starting lineup Thursday, June 30. OF Brandon Nimmo is starting in right field and is hitting leadoff, while 2B/OF Kelly Johnson starts in left and is batting sixth against Chicago Cubs SP John Lackey.

Fantasy Tip: Nimmo has plenty of upside and should be considered in NL-only and cavernous mixed leagues with regular playing time in New York's outfield. He doesn't have a ton of fantasy upside in DFS hitting leadoff, though. Johnson is a journeyman utility player that has limited offensive upside at this point of his career. He's a deep DFS sleeper tonight.

New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson (calf) was a late scratch against the Washington Nationals Wednesday, June 29. Mets OF Brandon Nimmo draws into the lineup and will bat eighth, and Mets OF Alejandro De Aza will lead off against Nationals SP Max Scherzer Wednesday.

Fantasy Tip: Sub out Granderson where you can Wednesday, and it's likely best to avoid both De Aza and Nimmo given the daunting matchup against Scherzer. The calf injury has hindered Granderson of late, so check back for updates on his status before locking him into your lineups, especially in daily contests.

New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson (calf) is starting in right field and leading off against Washington Nationals SP Max Scherzer Wednesday, June 29.

Fantasy Tip: Granderson has been nursing the nagging calf injury for a few days, so it isn't out of the question to sub him out for a healthy option if you have the luxury in seasonal leagues. He's obviously a significant risk in daily contests because of the matchup and potential aggravation of the calf injury.

New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson (calf) is dealing with a small calf strain, manager Terry Collins said Tuesday, June 28. It's the same reason he sat Sunday, June 26, as he had trouble loosening up after the weather delay.

Fantasy Tip: Granderson should be reserved in all seasonal daily leagues and avoided in DFS until he can officially return and play at least back-to-back games without any setbacks.
