The news broke late Friday afternoon that according to Terry Collins, Juan Lagares will be back in the Mets lineup Sunday against the Cubs at the latest. Lagares has been playing the past few days in Binghamton and is in the lineup for the first game of tonight’s doubleheader that the Binghamton Mets are playing in. Lagares was eligible to return from the DL yesterday, June 30th, so seeing him in Sunday’s lineup is not shocking, but is quite refreshing.
Lagares, along with Jose Reyes, have been playing in Binghamton and showing the youngins how it’s done.
