  • Despite going 2-5 against the Giants and Dodgers on a tough seven-game west coast road trip, the Mets finished things off on a high note with an important .They also got Javier Bez back from the injured list on Sunday, who helped spark an offense that was in desperate need of a jolt.Now, Francisco Lindor's return is looming, as he is expected to be activated on the Mets' home stand, which kicks off against the Giants on Tuesday night.And while the Mets currently stand at 61 Jose Ramirez Jersey -63 and 6.5 games back in the NL East, Bez and Lindor will not only inject some much-needed energy into this battered team, but lengthen what has been a disappointing lineup as well.Believe it or not, getting this duo back is likely their only hope at righting the ship, and getting back in the race for the division with 38 games left to play in the regular season.The Mets are also mi sing their top two catchers in , but both injuries Atlanta Braves Jersey aren't expected to be serious, which means they should be back later in the week once they are both eligible to come off the IL.Once McCann comes back, this will give the Mets a powerful lineup that could feature (in order): Brandon Nimmo 8, Lindor 6, Bez 4, Pete Alonso 3, J.D. Davis 5, Michael Conforto 9, Jeff McNeil 7 and McCann 2.Scroll to ContinueAfter Lindor returns, the struggling Dom Smith will likely take on a bench role, as the odd man out. And that is because Bez will slide in at second base, the red-hot Davis will stick at third base and McNeil, who is starting to come around at the plate, is expected to see more time in left field.Although the Mets have to play the Giants for three more games this week Danny Santana Jersey , their schedule gets a lot easier with 14 straight contests coming with the Nationals and Marlins afterwards. The Braves on the other hand, have claimed first-place, winning 16 of their last 19 games, by beating up on the lowly Nationals, Marlins and Orioles. But now, they have a tough stretch of their own with eight straight games against the Yankees, Dodgers and Giants.This gives the Mets David Justice Jersey a prime chance to gain back some ground in the NL East, but they must take care of busine s against the bottom two teams in their division.With the Mets' rotation performing a lot better as of late, led by starters Marcus Stroman, Taijuan Walker and rookie Tylor Megill, the offense must start playing up to expectations with the re-insertion of Bez and Lindor.Not to mention, their pitching staff could also be getting a major boost, as . Upon his long-awaited activation, the plan is for Syndergaard to serve as a reliever, which will make the Mets' bullpen a very deep unit.And albeit his status looking bleak at the moment, ace Jacob deGrom, whose next MRI at the end of this week will Freddie Freeman Jersey determine whether he can return this season or not, could potentially be back with the Mets by mid-September if his imaging comes back clean. This would make a significant impact to the rotation, along with the entire team as a whole.
