Curtis Granderson Gets the Boot in the New York Mets’ Lineup Tonight

Curtis Granderson will not be a part of the New York Mets‘ lineup tonight starting against Atlanta Braves knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, as Juan Lagares will get the nod in center field and batting eighth.

Tonight's Mets-Braves game will feature the two lowest OBPs in MLB among qualified players:

-Curtis Granderson, .177
-Dansby Swanson, .202
