Mets' Jose Iglesias: Swipes bag in Sunday's loss
Jose Iglesias went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Reds.With Jeff McNeil (wrist) done for the season, the door is open for Iglesias to get an everyday role at second base down the stretch for the New York Mets. The 34-year-old infielder has been remarkably productive since joining the team in late May, and he's slowed down only a little in the second half, slashing .278/.326/.329 over 86 plate appearances since the beginning of August. Iglesias offers effectively no power and only a little speed, but consistent playing time will still give him some fantasy upside in deep formats.

Mets' Jose Iglesias: On base three times Thursday
Jose Iglesias went 2-for-4 with a walk in Thursday's loss to the A's.The veteran infielder got the start at second base and batted sixth, and he kept up the offensive production that has pushed him into a regular role. Even with Jeff McNeil turning things around at the plate, Iglesias has started eight of 13 games so far in August, batting .313 (10-for-32) with two doubles, three RBI and four runs. The lack of counting stats makes him tough to roster in shallower formats, however, and with Starling Marte (knee) potentially returning from the IL this weekend, Iglesias could find himself relegated to the short side of a platoon with McNeil at the keystone.

Mets' Jose Iglesias: Likely to lose playing time
Jose Iglesias is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.After going 2-for-18 at the plate while starting each of the New York Mets' past five games, Iglesias will hit the bench for Monday's series opener. With his bat cooling down of late, Iglesias may find himself at risk of moving to a short-side platoon role. The newly acquired Jesse Winker is expected to serve as a regular starter in the outfield when the Mets face right-handed pitching, which will likely result in Jeff McNeil moving back to the keystone.

Mets' Jose Iglesias: First career two-homer game
Jose Iglesias went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 7-6 win over the Rockies.The veteran infielder took Tanner Gordon deep in the second inning before turning around a Peter Lambert fastball in the fifth, giving Iglesias his first career multi-homer performance in his 1,124th big-league game. Jeff McNeil has been bouncing between the keystone and a corner outfield spot with Starling Marte (knee) on the shelf, but McNeil would likely be losing playing time at second base even if the rest of the roster was healthy -- in 79 plate appearances since joining the New York Mets, Iglesias is slashing .347/.380/.560 with seven doubles, three home runs, 12 runs and 16 RBI.

Mets' Jose Iglesias: Feeling ill Thursday
Jose Iglesias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals due to an illness, Steve Gelbs of SportsNet New York reports.Though he had been expected to start Thursday against southpaw MacKenzie Gore, the right-handed-hitting Iglesias apparently felt ill during Wednesday's 6-2 win and required an IV after cramping up following the game. Iglesias is apparently still feeling under the weather Thursday, so the New York Mets will let him rest in the series finale while Jeff McNeil steps in at second base.
