Overview

  • Siri returned less than five months after a fractured left tibia and started in center field Tuesday against the Phillies.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza said the club will play matchups, with Siri facing left-handed pitching and Cedric Mullins drawing right-handers.
  • Mullins has struggled since the trade, entering Tuesday at .174/.284/.272 with the Mets and riding a 10-game hitless streak.
  • Siri logged eight rehab games at .269/.321/.462 and brings elite defense, speed and power potential despite limited live at-bats this year.
  • Tyrone Taylor remains on the IL with a left hamstring strain as the Mets protect a narrow hold on the final NL wild-card spot entering Tuesday.
