Brett Baty - Sitting against lefty Baty is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Astros.
Impact Eduardo Escobar will handle third base and bat ninth with left-hander Framber Valdez on the mound for Houston. The left-handed-hitting Baty holds an overall .241/.317/.355 slash line with four homers and 20 RBI through 50 major-league games this year.

Francisco Álvarez - Starting at catcher Tuesday Alvarez (hand) is in the starting lineup Tuesday at Houston.
Impact Alvarez was pulled from Monday's series opener versus the Astros after taking a foul ball off his right hand, but X-rays turned up negative for any structural damage. He will catch and bat sixth for the Mets on Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park.

Ronny Mauricio - Back in action at Triple-A Mauricio (ankle) returned to the Triple-A Syracuse lineup Wednesday and has appeared in each of the affiliate's last five games, going 8-for-21 with three home runs, three walks, s...
Impact Mauricio had been tending to a bone bruise in his left ankle coming out of a June 10 doubleheader, but he missed only a few days before he was cleared to resume playing. The 22-year-old switch-hitting middle infielder has immediately resumed raking at Syracuse and is now holding down a .325/.368/.546 slash line across 291 plate appearances this season. In addition to seeing time at both second base and shortstop, Mauricio has also picked up three starts in left field, giving him another potential pathway to playing time when the Mets likely bring him up to the big leagues at some point later this summer.

Daniel Vogelbach - Goes deep in rout Vogelbach went 2-for-5 with a home run and three total RBI in an 11-1 win against Houston on Monday.
Impact Vogelbach kicked off a five-run third inning for the Mets with his solo homer to right field. He then produced the game's final two runs with a ninth-inning, two-run single. After belting 18 homers between the Pirates and Mets last season, Vogelbach has gone deep just four times in 51 contests so far in 2023. However, half of his long balls have come across his past four games.

Francisco Lindor - Knocks in five runs Monday Lindor went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two total runs and five total RBI in Monday's 11-1 rout of the Astros.
Impact Lindor had two big hits in the contest, belting a three-run homer to right field in the third inning and knocking a two-run double in the ninth. The five RBI were the second-most he has notched this season, trailing just his seven-RBI performance against Oakland in mid-April. Lindor has homered in two straight contests following a rough six-game stretch during which he went 1-for-17 with six strikeouts.

Max Scherzer - Bounces back with dominant win Scherzer (6-2) earned the win over Houston on Monday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out eight batters over eight innings.
Impact Scherzer had been struggling coming into the contest, giving up 11 runs over nine innings across his previous two starts. He rebounded in impressive fashion against the reigning World Series champions, recording a season-high eight frames during which he yielded just one run. Scherzer posted his fifth quality start of the campaign and improved his ERA to 4.04 with the dominant outing. He's struck out at least eight batters in four of his past five starts after failing to reach that mark in each of his first seven appearances this season.

Francisco Álvarez - Hit by foul ball, X-rays negative Alvarez was removed from Monday's game against the Astros after fouling a ball off his right hand, and initial X-rays came back negative, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Alvarez will presumably undergo more tests Tuesday to determine the severity of his injury, but it's very possible the young backstop is held out of Tuesday's lineup. Fantasy managers should consider him as day-to-day for now.
