Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has missed two consecutive starts Sunday, partly because of foot injury, manager Terry Collins told MLB.com. However, Collins expects Flores to return to the lineup Monday afternoon at Atlanta.
"I watched him the other day and it looked like his feet are bothering him," Collins said. "I watched him go up for some balls and it just looks like he's aggravated by it. His swing has changed a little bit, so he might be getting tired also, so I just thought I'm going to give him a couple of days off."
Flores has just one hit in his last 18 at-bats and is hitting .235 with 11 RBI in 68 at-bats.
