Mets catcher Kevin Plawecki is not in the starting lineup for the third time in four games Sunday, but manager Terry Collins reiterated Sunday that the team remains committed to the rookie as the team's primary catcher while Travis d'Arnaud is on the disabled list, ESPN New York reports.
Johnny Monell was brought up from Triple-A Las Vegas to serve as a lefty bat off the bench, but he's starting for the second time in three games Sunday. Plawecki, who homered Saturday, has hit .226/.269/.371 with two home runs and 10 RBI in 62 at-bats.
