New York Mets OF John Mayberry Jr. was designated for assignment Friday, July 24.

Fantasy Tip: Mayberry ($1,900, 3.8% of cap) can be ignored in all fantasy formats until he lands a gig with another club. Even then, though, he isn't a mixed league consideration. Over 119 plate appearances this season, Mayberry boasts a .164/.227/.318 slash line.

New York Mets OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis is not starting Thursday, July 23, against the Los Angeles Dodgers. OF John Mayberry Jr. is in the lineup.

Fantasy Tip: Nieuwenhuis ($2,500, 5.0% of cap) has slumped considerably following a three-homer outburst in one game, but he is showing signs of picking it up at the plate. Still, he has a .182 mark in the past week. Mayberry has little fantasy value.

New York Mets OF Michael Cuddyer (knee) is not in the starting lineup Monday, July 20. OF John Mayberry Jr. is starting in left field and batting fifth against Washington Nationals SP Gio Gonzalez Monday.

Fantasy Tip: Cuddyer ($3,500, 7.0% of cap) projects to be in and out of the lineup nightly, as he attempts to play through a nagging knee injury. Fantasy owners should avoid the headache outside cavernous mixed and NL-only leagues. Mayberry ($1,900, 3.8% of cap) is a low-priced flier for FantasyScore players Monday.

New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson is not in the starting lineup against St. Louis Cardinals SP Tim Cooney Sunday, July 19. OF John Mayberry Jr. will start in right field and is batting sixth in the lineup.

Fantasy Tip: Granderson ($3,700, 7.4% of cap) has struggled against left-handed pitchers this season, so he is not in the lineup. Mayberry ($1,900, 3.8% of cap) has recorded only four hits in his last 19 games and is not a great starting option for owners on FantasyScore.

New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson is not in the starting lineup against Arizona Diamondbacks SP Patrick Corbin Saturday, July 11. OF John Mayberry Jr. will start in right field and is batting sixth in the lineup.

Fantasy Tip: Granderson ($3,700, 7.4% of cap) likely is sitting out because the team is facing a left-handed pitcher. Mayberry ($1,900, 3.8% of cap) is hitting only .194 on the season and is not a great option for owners on FantasyScore.

New York Mets OF Michael Cuddyer (knee) is healthy enough to play Tuesday, July 7, against the San Francisco Giants, according to manager Terry Collins, but he won't start. OF John Mayberry Jr. will start in left field and hit sixth in the order against RHP Matt Cain.

Fantasy Tip: Mayberry Jr. ($1,900, 3.8% of cap) is hitting just .163 against righties this season, and he shouldn't be taken under FantasyScore consideration.

New York Mets 1B John Mayberry Jr. is playing left field and batting seventh against Toronto Blue Jays SP R.A. Dickey Thursday, June 18.

Fantasy Tip: Mayberry Jr. ($1,900, 3.8% of cap) should be viewed as a desperation source of cap relief for FantasyScore contests Thursday, especially with him being a superior hitter against lefties over his career. This will also be just his fourth start in June.

New York Mets OF Curtis Granderson is not in the starting lineup against Toronto Blue Jays SP Mark Buehrle Monday, June 15. OF John Mayberry Jr. will start in right field and is batting sixth in the lineup.

Fantasy Tip: Granderson ($3,700, 7.4% of cap) probably is sitting out since the team is facing a left-handed pitcher. Mayberry ($1,900, 3.8% of cap) has seen limited playing time this month but has gone 7-for-14 at the plate with two home runs and four RBI. Mayberry could be an option for FantasyScore owners looking to save some money at the position.

New York Mets 1B Lucas Duda is not in the starting lineup against Atlanta Braves left-handed SP Alex Wood Friday, June 12. OF Michael Cuddyer is hitting third and playing first base, while OF John Mayberry Jr. is hitting fifth and starting in left field.

Fantasy Tip: Cuddyer ($3,500, 7.0% of cap) is not a bad daily pick at all. He's hitting much better at home (.306/.385/.463) than on the road (.233/.255/.350) and is 12-for-44 (.273) against left-handers this season. Mayberry ($1,900, 3.8% of cap) shouldn't be trusted at all, as he has only six hits in 35 at-bats (.171) against southpaws this year.

New York Mets OF John Mayberry Jr. had four hits, including a two-run homer, as his team defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-2 on Thursday, June 4.

Fantasy Tip: Mayberry ($1,900, 3.8% of cap) entered this game hitting .137, so he is still someone to largely avoid playing. Still, this might be signs his bat is beginning to awaken.
