Mets' Harrison Bader: Not in Monday's lineup
Bader is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
It would appear to be a routine day off for Bader, who is 5-for-26 with zero RBI in his first eight games this season. Brandon Nimmo will slide over to center field, Jeff McNeil will handle left, and Joey Wendle will get a start at second base.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Henry Davis C | PIT
Pirates' Henry Davis: Taking seat Monday
Davis is absent from the lineup for Monday's tilt versus the Tigers.
Joey Bart will do the catching for Mitch Keller, marking Bart's second start in the last three games. Davis is just 4-for-30 so far at the plate in the early going and could continue to yield some starts to Bart if he doesn't pick it up.

Michael Taylor CF | CHW
Pirates' Michael Taylor: Sitting out third straight
Taylor is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Tigers.
This will be the third straight game he hasn't started. Taylor is hitting .429/.438/.536 on the season, so it's possible he's dealing with some sort of injury. Jack Suwinski is center field again Monday.

Joey Gallo LF | CHW
Nationals' Joey Gallo: Nabs steal in Sunday's win
Gallo went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Phillies.
The 30-year-old swiped his first bag of the season, but there likely won't be too many to follow -- his career high is only seven, set back in 2017. It's been a fairly typical start to 2024 for Gallo, who's batting .179 (5-for-28) through eight games with a 6:11 BB:K, but four of his five hits have gone for extra bases including two homers.
