Dom Smith expected to play for Mets on Sunday
Mets 1B Dominic Smith is expected to play on Sunday when the team returns to Port St. Lucie, per MLB.com's Jon Morosi.
Smith has been limited to just one at-bat so far this Spring as he is suffering from a strained right quad. He faced Jacob deGrom in a simulated game on Tuesday, but has been doing his own hitting and fielding drills for the past week or so.
Smith came into camp fighting for the starting first base position with Adrian Gonzalez, but it hasn't been much of a competition up to this point.
The 22-year-old hit .198 in 167 at-bats with nine homers and 26 RBI in 49 games last season.
