He then logged an at-bat in the ninth and singled before stealing second base and subsequently scoring again. With Bader entering the lineup Sunday, Tyrone Taylor will begin the game on the bench.

Bader is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals. Even though Starling Marte (forearm) is on the bench for the second day in a row, the Mets won't make room in the outfield for Bader, who had started in center field in each of the previous four contests. Instead, Tyrone Taylor will get the starting nod in center after he went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Philadelphia.
