Mets plan Luis Robert Jr. to play left field Sunday

Mets interim manager Andy Green announced that Luis Robert Jr. will play left field in Sunday’s game against the Nationals. Robert, who has primarily played center field throughout his career, is expected to alternate with A.J. Ewing, who will remain in center for two out of three games. Kodai Senga, who secured his second career save in Friday’s win, is being managed carefully; Green noted Senga’s health will determine his availability for back-to-back games. Green emphasized that there is no urgency to rush Senga, allowing the game flow to dictate his usage.
