The dynamic 28-year-old outfielder led off the second inning with a double off of Peter Lambert, but the Mets were unable to cash him in. He then smacked a two-run double in the fifth inning that extended his team’s advantage to 5-0. He has impressed in his limited action with the Mets so far, hitting .333 (5-for-15) with two RBI and a pair of runs scored.

Robert has yet to appear in a Grapefruit League contest this spring after coming over from the White Sox in a three-player swap last month. The 28-year-old will open the regular season as New York’s starting center fielder following back-to-back injury-marred campaigns. The health question marks aren’t going away, but Robert projects as a reasonable 20-homer, 30-steal threat for fantasy purposes, even in a truncated campaign.

The dynamic 28-year-old outfielder isn’t dealing with an injury, but the Mets want him to work on strengthening his lower half given his extensive injury history. No word yet on when he’ll make his spring debut for the Mets, but he still has plenty of time to get ready for the start of the regular season.

Robert has been largely ineffective the last two years and has quite the injury history, but he’s 28, he’s a legit center fielder and he has a career 111 OPS+. This is definitely worth a shot for the Mets, who will be responsible for paying $22 million for one year or $40 million for two. They’ll presumably handle him better than a White Sox organization that mostly expected position players to play through injury. Tyrone Taylor had topped the Mets’ depth chart in center, but now he’ll serve as the fourth outfielder he’s meant to be. He’ll presumably be on the short side of a platoon with Brett Baty in left initially, assuming the Carson Benge now starts off in Triple-A. With Acuña, who was out of options, departing, Ronny Mauricio seems poised for a utility role.
