Helped in large part by its 17-run performance in Chicago, the Mets' offense has averaged 4.52 runs per game this season. That's the fourth-best mark in the National League, trailing only the Rockies, Cardinals, and Braves.
| Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mike Baxter, OF |  |
|
There haven't been any significant updates on Baxter, who is still recovering from his no-hitter-saving catch. |
| Jason Bay, LF | |
|
Bay rode a bike on Wednesday and felt fine, but he's still a little ways away from returning. |
| Ronny Cedeno, SS | |
 |
Cedeno picked up where he left off before his stint on the DL, getting on base at a much higher clip than he ever did before this year. |
| Ike Davis, 1B |  |
|
Although he made plenty of outs, Ike hit 3 HR and slugged .818. |
| Lucas Duda, RF | |
 |
The Dude had a rare down week in an otherwise very good offensive season. |
| Scott Hairston, OF | |
|
It's tough to have a bad week that includes a grand slam, but Hairston did. |
| Daniel Murphy, 2B | |
|
The Irish Hammer is back! Murphy put up a 1.178 OPS. |
| Mike Nickeas, C | |
|
Give credit when it's due: Nickeas had a .900 OPS in 12 plate appearances. |
| Kirk Nieuwenhuis, OF | |
|
At least Kirk's lone hit of the week was a dinger. |
| Vinny Rottino, OF | |
|
Rottino drew a walk in one of his final two plate appearances with the Mets. He is now with the Cleveland Indians after they claimed him off waivers. |
| Omar Quintanilla, SS | |
|
In limited playing time, Quintanilla produced at the plate. |
| Ruben Tejada, SS | |
|
Tejada hasn't hit much since coming back from the DL. |
| Josh Thole, C | |
|
Eric noted Thole's struggles at the plate since he returned from his concussion, but he got on base at a .389 clip over this stretch. |
| Andres Torres, OF | |
|
Torres didn't hit for average or power but had a .409 OBP. That'll work. |
| Justin Turner, IF | |
|
Turner hit .308 but also had a .308 OBP. |
| Jordany Valdespin, IF | |
|
Jordany didn't hit much and got sent back to Buffalo with the returns of Cedeno and Tejada. |
| David Wright, 3B | |
 |
Wright hit .385/.419/.615 this week. Ho-hum. |
This week's meter covers games from June 21 through 28.
