Cuddyer is out of the lineup Sunday against the Braves. Cuddyer has started eight of the last nine games in left field, but will take a seat in favor of Darrell Ceciliani for the afternoon contest. The 36-year-old outfielder has hit safely in nine of 11 June games, but will be held out of the starting lineup for the second time in the last three contests.

Cuddyer went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 7-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday. Cuddyer has been in and out of the lineup with a neck issue, but has been raking of late, as he now owns a 10-game hitting streak. The power stroke appears to be back as well -- he's homered three times and driven in seven runs in that span. While Cuddyer is not the fantasy asset he once was in Colorado, he's got a steady spot in the middle of the Mets' lineup and should keep picking things up after a slow start to the year.

Cuddyer (neck) is back in the lineup Thursday against the Diamondbacks. Cuddyer missed just one game due to a stiff neck, and he's now back in his usual spot as the starting left fielder. He carries a nine-game hitting streak into Thursday's contest, with two home runs, three doubles and six RBI over that span.

Cuddyer is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game due to a stiff neck, Adam Rubin of ESPN.com reports. Cuddyer's injury does not seem serious, but the extent of his setback is uncertain, so it remains to be seen if he will miss any additional action beyond Wednesday's contest. Darrell Ceciliani will get the start in left field in Cuddyer's place.

Cuddyer is out of the lineup Sunday against the Marlins. Cuddyer has made six straight starts for the Mets, collecting a base hit in each of those contests. He'll take a seat Sunday, however, giving way to John Mayberry in left field.

Cuddyer went 2-for-4 with his fifth homer and two RBI in Wednesday's win over Philadelphia. The veteran killed Philadelphia in this three-game series, going 5-for-10 with two homers, five RBI and a 3:3 BB:K. Cuddyer's looking better right now than he has at any point this year, so it may be worth looking into his availability in those leagues where he's been cut to the wire.

Cuddyer went 2-for-4 with a walk and a pair of RBI in Tuesday's win over the Phillies. He's been looking like a whole new hitter over the last couple days, having gone 3-for-6 with a homer and three walks, but Cuddyer has already given fantasy owners false hope at other points in this season. We didn't expect him to hit upward of .330, as he did in Colorado, nor did we expect a 30-homer pace, but Cuddyer has been roundly disappointing this year. He's sitting on his highest strikeout rate since his rookie season and is hitting the ball on the ground at a career-high rate (56.9 percent entering Tuesday's action). Those aren't good attributes for a middle-of-the-order hitter.

Cuddyer is out of the lineup Saturday, ESPN New York's Adam Rubin reports. He gets a rare day off Saturday after going hitless with one strikeout in Friday's game. Darrell Ceciliani will get the start in left field and is hitting seventh against the Pirates.

Cuddyer got on base all four times up Thursday, knocking three singles and drawing a walk in a 5-1 win over the Cardinals. He didn't score or knock in any runs, but it's still a positive step for Cuddyer, who's scuffled all year so far. He hasn't come close to providing the power presence the Mets signed him for, which has been a big reason for the team's offensive struggles. The 36-year-old will need to show some more with the bat, lest the Mets go looking for a different answer in left field; there's no way they'll tolerate subpar hitting in combination with Cuddyer's already-subpar fielding all season long.

Cuddyer went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI in the 14-1 drubbing over Milwaukee on Saturday. This was one of Cuddyer's best games as a Met and he seems to be finding some rhythm hitting safely in eight out of his last ten games.
