Mets Rest Bo Bichette for Second Straight Day Due to Leg Soreness

Bo Bichette was held out of the New York Mets lineup on Saturday for a second straight day because of soreness in his legs and right ankle, ESPN reported. Manager Andy Green said before the game against the Boston Red Sox that the situation remains day-to-day. "If he's feeling great tomorrow we'll get him back out there," Green said.

Green linked the soreness to last weekend's series in Atlanta, where Bichette went 8-for-18 but also fouled balls off his legs. "In Atlanta, he fouled some balls off of his legs, kind of beat his legs up a little bit, played through a lot; the guy's a warrior," Green said. Bichette went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Kansas City Royals.

320 with two home runs and 11 RBIs in his last 25 games. 256 with 10 home runs and 51 RBIs in his first year with the Mets after signing a $126 million, three-year contract in mid-January. Marcus Semien did some running on Saturday after facing live batting practice the previous day and could begin a rehab assignment soon as he recovers from a left hip flexor strain, ESPN reported.

Semien was placed on the 10-day injured list on June 25 and has missed 16 games.
