De Aza starts in left field Tuesday against Chris Young and the Royals, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

De Aza is the Mets' fifth outfielder and will see some time against righties. With Michael Conforto able to DH and Yoenis Cespedes in center field, De Aza replaces Juan Lagares and will play left with a righty on the hill.
