Luis Robert Jr. is set to make his first major league start in left field for the Mets on Sunday, as interim manager Andy Green aims to increase rookie A.J. Ewing’s playing time in center field. Despite attempts to trade Robert before the deadline, he remains on the team, sharing center field duties with Ewing. Green noted that Robert has been preparing for this position and expressed confidence in his abilities. Additionally, Kodai Senga is ready for back-to-back appearances as the Mets’ closer, while Carson Benge continues his on-base streak at 18 games.
