1. David Wright could DH this weekend, hopefully Saturday but could be Sunday with both games being at home.
Wright also threw again on Thursday, again in secret though with no beat writers allowed.
2. Collins expects the lineup on Saturday for the first home game of Grapefruit League action to be mostly regulars except for Neil Walker.
The extension talks have completely died down for Walker, whom should make his spring debut on Sunday.
3. Juan Lagares, Michael Conforto, Travis d’Arnaud and Wilmer Flores will be on the trip tomorrow to Fort Myers to play the Boston Red Sox. Amed Rosario will be on the trip too, but won’t be starting.
Gavin Cecchini was taking groundballs exclusively at second base on Tuesday as he prepares to play the position in Triple-A which should leave us to see a good chunk of Rosario this spring at shortstop.
4. The Red Sox pitching for tomorrow will include lefty Henry Owens, righty Kyle Kendrick, lefty Fernando Abad and righty Brandon Workman. This game will only have audio available on WOR.
The Red Sox have already set up their lineup too; Brock Holt SS, Andrew Benintendi LF, Hanley Ramirez DH, Jackie Bradley CF, Bryce Brentz RF, Marco Hernandez 2B, Sandy Leon C, Allen Craig 1B, Josh Rutledge 3B
5. When the Mets host the Washington Nationals on Saturday at the newly named First Data Field they will be facing Gio Gonzalez. Sean Gilmartin will oppose him as the starter for the Mets.
The Mets first Grapefruit League home game of the season starts at 1:05 PM, it will be on SNY and WOR.
