“#Mets\u2019 Jake Marisnick in danger of missing Opening Day<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The Mets\u2019 outfield depth could be tested with Jake Marisnick dealing with left hamstring tightness.<\/p>\n

The outfielder didn\u2019t play in the pair of exhibition game<\/a>s against the Yankees over the weekend and was not in the lineup again Monday for the Mets\u2019 intrasquad game.<\/p>\n

With Friday\u2019s Opening Day game against the Braves at Citi Field app<\/a>roaching quickly, Marisnick\u2019s status is in doubt.<\/p>\n

Manager Luis Rojas called Marisnick\u2019s situation \u201cday-to-day\u201d and said he took part in the simulated game Sunday at Citi Field, when Jacob deGrom had his final tuneup before the opener.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s still been able to take batting practice and do some defensive work, according to Rojas.<\/p>\n

Marisnick, 29, arrived in the offseason in a trade with the Astros in exchange for a pair of minor leaguers and is expected to provide a defensive upgrade in center, either splitting time with Brandon Nimmo or as a late-inning replacement \u2014 essentially replacing Juan Lagares as a right-handed bat off the bench.<\/p>\n

Rojas said the final intrasquad games of spring training 2.0 will play a sizable role in how the Mets put the finishing touches on their roster and that decisions still need to be made.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re definitely closer,\u2019\u2019 Rojas said of coming up with an Opening Day roster. \u201cI feel we\u2019re moving in the right direction. I know Friday [against the Braves] is right there, but these three games [including Monday] are really important.\u201d<\/p>\n

They are still working on how they will split up the 30-man roster in terms of pitchers and position players.<\/p>\n

Right-hander Walker Lockett was placed on the injured list with lower back discomfort, but Rojas indicated he\u2019s better, but still needs to build up his pitch count.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s in a good place right now,\u2019\u2019 the manager said. \u201cHe\u2019s progressing. He\u2019s ramping up. He\u2019s just behind the rest of the group.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lockett took part in Sunday\u2019s simulated game, with Rojas saying he \u201cbelieved\u201d he pitched.<\/p>\n

Michael Conforto and Jeff McNeil were both hit by pitches Monday, but both appeared fine.<\/p>\n

Wilson Ramos wasn\u2019t with the team again Monday, Rojas said Sunday catcher was \u201cdealing with a personal matter.\u201d Tomas Nido, Rene Rivera and Ali Sanchez are the other catchers in camp.<\/p>\n

Rivera homered off Steven Matz on Monday and is pleased to be back with the Mets.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just happy to have an opportunity to get on the roster,\u2019\u2019 Rivera said. \u201cI enjoy being here with the Mets. Whatever happens, happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rojas said Rivera is in great shape and \u201clooks like a new man with the work he put in coming into camp.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pete Alonso will be mic\u2019d up for MLB\u2019s YouTube<\/a> Channel on Friday and throughout the season, a source confirmed.<\/p>\n

Alonso agreed during the spring to have a microphone placed inside first base at Citi Field to capture conversations between Alonso and opposing players. Those chats would then be replayed to fans on various media platforms. Alonso said he was approached by MLB with the proposal.<\/p>\n

The first baseman talked about the possibility of participating in a similar project during spring training.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust because everybody asks, \u2018What did you talk about at first base?\u2019 \u201d Alonso said during the spring.<\/p>\n

Now, he\u2019s taking the next step and will wear the microphone.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Dom Smith continues to hit in spring training 2.0 and Rojas wants to find ways to get him at-bats during the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been solid,\u2019\u2019 Rojas said of Smith, who can fill in at first and in left. \u201cHe\u2019s feeling it. He\u2019s smooth at the plate. I\u2019ve definitely been thinking of different things. His versatility is gonna help and having the DH will, too. We want to keep him in there.\u201d The Mets added more cardboard fans in the stands down the left field line at Citi Field.<\/p>\n

The first baseman talked about the possibility of participating in the project during spring training.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust because everybody asks, \u2018What did you talk about at first base?\u2019 \u201d Alonso said during the spring. \u201cOne of the most interesting conversations I\u2019ve had was with Freddie Freeman about wine. He\u2019s a big wino and I love wine also. We were talking, \u2018What do you like? What\u2019s your favorite bottle? What\u2019s your favorite make?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

Now, he\u2019s taking the next step and will wear the microphone.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
