Shifts back to reserve role Drury is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Jonathan Villar returned to the lineup in Tuesday's 10-3 loss after missing the previous four games with a hamstring injury, closing the door on Drury's path to an everyday role. After having recently started four times in five-game stretch, Drury will now be on the bench for the third time in four contests with Villar available again.

Filling in for Villar Drury will start at third base and bat sixth Sunday against the Padres.

Impact Drury will pick up his fourth start in five games Sunday, with the last three coming at third base in place of Jonathan Villar (hamstring). The Mets continue to view Villar as day-to-day, but Drury would likely settle in as the primary option at the position if Villar becomes the next player to join the team's lengthy injured list.

Optioned to alternate site Drury was optioned to the Blue Jay's alternate training site Friday.

Impact Drury was in the lineup for eight of the Blue Jays' last 13 games, but he picked up just five hits over 25 at-bats during that span, so the team decided to remove him from the roster to open up a spot for Daniel Vogelbach. Chances are Drury will rejoin the big club at some point, but given his .358 OPS on the season he may not get the chance to play as regularly again.

Playing time picks up Drury will start at second base and will bat sixth Wednesday against the Orioles.

Impact He'll be filling in at the keystone for Cavan Biggio, who receives his first day off of the season. While Drury likely won't be a serious threat to poach additional starts from Biggio, the 27-year-old's versatility along with the absence of everyday shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) has his playing time on the upswing. Drury is making his fourth start in five games, drawing assignments at three different positions during that stretch.

On bench again Drury is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact As expected, Drury has faded into a reserve role since Travis Shaw (personal) was reinstated from the bereavement list Tuesday. He'll be out of the starting nine for a fourth straight game.

Workload picks up Drury will start at third base and bat ninth Thursday against the Nationals.

Impact Drury will stick in the lineup for the fourth time in five games since returning from the injured list over the weekend. All four of those starting assignments have come at the hot corner, so he'll most likely shift back to a bench role once Travis Shaw (personal) returns from the bereavement list.

Impact He tweaked his hamstring taking groundballs Monday. Montoyo called it a "day-to-day deal" before suggesting his shortstop may miss a couple days. He then said "you never know with hamstrings," which is a wise sentiment from the skipper. Joe Panik and Brandon Drury are options to fill in while Bichette is out.
