Mets right fielder Curtis Granderson is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Diamondbacks.
Granderson is taking a seat with the Mets facing lefty Robbie Ray, so John Mayberry will play right field and bat sixth on Thursday. Infielder Ruben Tejada will bat leadoff and move across the infield to play second base after seeing six straight starts as the third baseman and No. 2 hitter.
The Mets are road favorites (-135) in Arizona on Thursday, per VegasInsider.com.
