MIAMI — Amed Rosario got sent to his room without dinner Sunday.
A day after loafing on the bases — he only reached first on a pop-up that dropped between outfielders, when he should have gotten to second — Rosario was absent from the starting lineup in the Mets’ 6-2 victory over the Marlins.
The shortstop finally got into the game in the seventh as part of a double switch that removed Adeiny Hechavarria.
Though manager Mickey Callaway initially told reporters Rosario was on the bench as part of a scheduled day off, he later indicated to SNY broadcasters the shortstop was being punished.
