Stuck in short side of platoon Acuna is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Acuna had started in three of the Mets' last four games, but all three starts came against southpaws. He finds himself on the bench for a third straight matchup with a righty (Hunter Dobbins) and looks like he'll be relegated to the short side of a platoon at second base with Jeff McNeil.

Could see drop in playing time Acuna will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Impact After sitting against Pirates righty Mitch Keller on Tuesday, the right-handed-hitting Acuna is back in the lineup Wednesday while Pittsburgh sends a lefty (Bailey Falter) to the bump. Before he was out of the lineup Tuesday, Acuna had started in each of the previous five games, but his playing time could become more sporadic with his bat having cooled down of late. Acuna has gone 4-for-20 with no walks and five strikeouts over his last five starts.

Idle Tuesday Acuna isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Acuna will grab a seat on the bench for the second game in a row after going 3-for-8 during Sunday's doubleheader against St. Louis. Jeff McNeil will get the nod at second base and bat seventh.
MAY 6 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Monday Acuna is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Impact Acuna played in both games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, going 3-for-8 with one stolen base and one run scored. He'll get a breather Monday while Jeff McNeil starts at second base and bats eighth against Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson.
MAY 5 • ROTOWIRE
Three hits, steal in matinee loss Acuna went 3-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in a 6-5 loss to the Cardinals in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.
Impact Acuna continues to lead the Mets in steals -- his theft Sunday was his eighth of the season. This was also his third multi-hit effort in the last six games, though he followed it up with an 0-for-4 effort in the nightcap. Acuna is at a .298/.355/.369 slash line with no home runs, four RBI, 14 runs scored and six doubles across 93 plate appearances this season. He continues to see a majority of the playing time at second base, though he started at third in the day game.

Taking seat Thursday Acuna is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Jeff McNeil has mostly been playing in the outfield since returning from the injured list a week ago, but he'll return to his more natural spot at second base Thursday, which leaves no room in the lineup for Acuna. The 23-year-old had occupied the keystone for each of the Mets' last five games, going 6-for-20 with two runs, two RBI and a stolen base.
MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Swipes bag Tuesday Acuna went 2-for-4 with a steal and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Acuna notched his second straight multi-hit game Tuesday with singles in the second and third inning and came around to score both times. He added his seventh steal of the season and is far and away the Mets leading base stealer. The 23-year-old has held his own through the first month of the season, hitting .300/.355/.371 with five extra-base hits, three RBI, 13 runs and a 6:14 BB:K in 76 plate appearances.

Starting at keystone again Monday Acuna is starting at second base and batting ninth in Monday's game versus the Nationals, Andrew Tredinnick of NorthJersey.com reports.
Impact Acuna has now been in the lineup three times in four games since Jeff McNeil returned from the injured list, as McNeil has started in center field twice during that span and was on the bench the one time the Mets faced a lefty. If McNeil proves to be a viable option on a regular basis in center field, Acuna could find himself in the lineup often at the keystone.
