Mitchell (forearm) is starting in center field and batting seventh Tuesday against the Mets, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Mitchell departed Sunday's game versus Atlanta with a forearm contusion after being hit by a pitch, but he's set to go following Monday's team off day. The 28-year-old has two doubles and a homer over his past three games, with those three-extra base hits being his first since Aug. 6.
