Catcher Rod Barajas is a late scratch from the New York Mets' lineup because of a stomach virus.

Henry Blanco will start Tuesday night's game against the Atlanta Braves.

Right fielder Jeff Francoeur is another addition to the Mets' lineup. He didn't start the past two games because of a 3 for 37 slump that's dropped his average to .212.

Francoeur was going to bat eighth, but he moved up a spot after Barajas was scratched.
