SNY.TV: What’s Next: The Mets host the Miami Marlins on Tuesday at 1:10 p.m. on SNY. Marcus Stroman is scheduled to get the start for New York.








Tim Healey Newsday: Infielder Luis Guillorme was scratched from the lineup Monday after being hit in the hand by a pitch during a simulated game Sunday. X-rays were negative. Rojas said he expects Guillorme to play Tuesday (off the bench) or Wednesday (starting) . . . Righthander Arodys Vizcaino (sore right elbow) threw a bullpen session, a positive sign he will be able to return this weekend.

NY Daily News: Luis Rojas says Mets rotation candidate Joey Lucchesi was better than his stat line. “I thought he threw well,” said Rojas…“He’s facing a really, really tough lineup and struck out three out of the first five he faced,” said Rojas. “Pitches were located really well and then the zip on his fastball was good.”

NY Daily News: After one month with Mets, Luis Rojas says James McCann looks ‘outstanding’. “Outstanding catcher. Outstanding clubhouse guy. Teammate. True leader,” said Rojas of McCann, one of the newest members of the team. “A lot of positives.”








The Mets have signed former Cardinals Prospect Sam Tewes to a minor League deal.

1973

The Cardinals play three Cruz brothers, Cirilo, Hector, and Jose, all nine innings in the outfield during the team’s 9-2 spring training victory over New York at Al Lang Field. The trio Puerto Rican siblings, who personally outscore the Mets, bat first, second, and third in the Redbird’s lineup, making all three outs in the first and eighth frames.

1978

The Mets deal 34 year-old Bud Harrelson to Philadelphia for cash and minor league call-up Freddie Andrews, an infielder who will never play another game in the major leagues. The popular shortstop, as a 12-year veteran, could have vetoed the trade but chose to go Philadelphia to play for a contending team.
