Curtis Granderson

Curtis Granderson struck out three times and was hit by a pitch from the second spot in the Mets' lineup in Monday's win.

Advice: That Terry Collins thought moving Granderson up in the lineup might be a solution was pretty novel. Granderson is now hitting .121 with a scary 23 strikeouts in 66 at-bats.

Advice: Granderson is off to a slow start, so manager Terry Collins moved him to the No. 2 spot in the lineup on Sunday and he will remain there for at least one more game. In 72 plate appearances to start the season, Granderson is slashing .127/.222/.238.

Curtis Granderson is hitting in the No. 2 spot in Sunday's game versus the Braves.

Advice: Granderson is hitting only .154/.267/.288 with a homer and four RBI in his first 15 games as a Met, so manager Terry Collins has decided to move him out of the cleanup spot. Daniel Murphy, who is normally the No. 2 hitter, is now hitting fourth. Travis d'Arnaud and Ruben Tejada are getting the day off Sunday, with Anthony Recker and Omar Quintanilla filling in.

X-rays on Curtis Granderson (rib cage, forearm, knee) came back negative.

Advice: Granderson crashed into the right field while during the first inning of Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
