Cuddyer is out of the lineup Sunday against the Nationals, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cuddyer had started the previous three games for the Mets, going without a hit in 11 at-bats. With Lucas Duda now healthy and Michael Conforto cementing himself as the Mets' top option in left field, a regular role doesn't appear to be in the offing for Cuddyer during the postseason, an unforeseen scenario after he inked a two-year, $21 million contract with the team last November.
