The New York Mets travel to Viera, Fla. to take on the Washington Nationals at 5:05 PM. Matthew Bowman faces left-hander Gio Gonzalez.

Jon Niese, who was originally slated to start this game, will pitch in an Intrasquad game today instead. The decision was based on weather related issues.

As previously reported, Wilmer Flores returns to the starting lineup for the first time since Sunday, when he fouled a ball off his left foot.
