Uribe (chest) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Reds.

Uribe was able to pinch hit in Wednesday's game, so it's possible he is feeling better and simply is not starting Thursday. However, consider him day-to-day until he returns to the starting lineup.

New York Mets third baseman Juan Uribe will not start Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds because of a chest injury, according to the team's official website.

New York Mets third baseman Juan Uribe will not start Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds because of a chest injury, according to the team's official website. Uribe pinch hit Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves.

Uribe (chest) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Braves.

X-rays were negative after Uribe hurt his chest diving for a groundball Sunday, but he was said to still be "pretty sore" Tuesday, leaving him unavailable to pinch-hit. His availability off the bench Wednesday is uncertain. Expect David Wright and Daniel Murphy to see most of the reps at third base until Uribe gets back in the mix.

Uribe (chest) is probably not available for Tuesday's contest against the Braves, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.

Uribe was believed to be injured diving for a ball during Sunday's game against the Yankees. Initial X-rays didn't reveal any structural damage, however the 36-year-old is still experiencing some soreness related to the injury, probably nixing any chance Uribe had at pinch-hitting against his former club.

Uribe's injury on Sunday night has been diagnosed as a chest contusion and he will get an MRI on Monday.

Initial x-rays on Uribe were negative. "He's pretty sore on the upper part of the chest," manager Terry Collins said after Sunday's game. "The X-ray didn't show anything, but we'll get him looked at tomorrow."

New York Mets third baseman Juan Uribe suffered a chest contusion Sunday against the New York Yankees, according to the team's official website.

New York Mets third baseman Juan Uribe suffered a chest contusion Sunday against the New York Yankees, according to the team's official website. Uribe will get an MRI on Monday after initial X-rays returned negative.

Uribe exited Sunday's game against the Yankees with an apparent injury to his right collarbone Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

The extent of Uribe's injury still remains unclear, although it was likely suffered in the third inning when diving for a ball in the field. Further news on his injury status will be released in due time, but as for now, Daniel Murphy is the projected starter for Monday's series opener against the Braves.

Uribe hit a two-run, pinch hit home run in the seventh inning to give the Mets some breathing room in their 5-1 win against the Yankees on Friday night.

With David Wright back in the lineup, Uribe has been relegated to a reserve role, but he has 14 home runs with 43 RBI, and his veteran presence, while not a huge contributor in fantasy circles, is a significant factor in the Mets playoff push.

Uribe went 3-for-4 with a double and three runs batted in Thursday, lifting the Mets to a 7-2 win over the Braves.

Uribe went above and beyond in his spot start at third base, reaching base three times from the cleanup slot. The Mets will give David Wright occasional days off down the stretch, presenting playing time for the veteran Uribe. Uribe's value to the Mets comes from a reserve role, eliminating him from relevance in most fantasy formats.

Uribe went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run Sunday against the Red Sox.

Uribe's two-run double gave the Mets the lead in the sixth inning, although they'd need late-inning heroics to eventually win the game. August has easily been his worst month of the season, as he's hitting .192. His worst month other than that saw him hit .233.

Uribe is starting at second base in Sunday's lineup against the Red Sox.

This is Uribe's first start at second base with the Mets, but he also got one with the Braves earlier this year. Before that, he hadn't seen the position since 2011.

Uribe went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Saturday against the Rockies but is close to losing his starting job with the pending return of David Wright (back).

Wright is due back Monday but won't be a full time player, which should afford Uribe some playing time. If Wright has any setbacks or pain in his back, Uribe, who is just 14-for-75 with the Mets but with five home runs and 11 RBI, would move back to a starting role.

Uribe is not in the lineup Tuesday against Baltimore, Adam Rubin of ESPN reports.

Uribe has been entrenched as the starter at third base, but he'll take a seat Tuesday as Daniel Murphy takes over the hot corner. Murphy will bat second in the order behind lead off man Curtis Granderson.

Uribe went 1-for-6 with a solo home run in a 5-3 loss to the Pirates on Saturday.

Uribe has only four hits in his last 30 at-bats and it appears he's too focused on being a power hitter right now. With five of his last six hits being extra-base hits, he may be better off choking up and trying to hit some singles to raise his diminishing batting average.

Uribe went 2-for-3 with an RBI double, a walk and a run scored Wednesday against Colorado.

If it counted as revenge every time Uribe played a former team, he'd be giving Batman a run for his money in that department. Uribe's still only hittin .196 (9-for-46) since joining the Mets, but those few hits he's gotten have been important ones, including the double that opened the scoring Wednesday. He's been in the lineup nearly every day of late, so fantasy owners in deep formats who are desperate for some pop might want to keep an eye on him, especially with the Mets heading to Colorado for a series next weekend.

Uribe is not in the lineup Monday against Colorado.

Uribe has seen time at third base and DH of late, but he'll be replaced by Daniel Murphy as the Mets square off with Rockies' right-hander Jon Gray.

Uribe is starting at third base, batting fifth, Sunday against the Rays, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

Uribe has started nearly every game at the hot corner since the Mets' acquired him from the Braves, With David Wright expected to kick off his rehab stint Monday, Uribe's hot on the spot may only last another week or so until Wright returns. Until then, Uribe will bring his solid defense and power bat, albeit with weak batting and on-base averages, to the lineup.

Uribe went 1-for-4 with his first homer as a Met against the Padres on Thursday.

The veteran's Mets career is off to a strong start, as he's collected a hit in all four games he's appeared in since being traded from the Braves. However, Uribe appears confined to a part-time role for the moment, as the Mets are typically rolling fellow newcomer Kelly Johnson at second base, which pushes Daniel Murphy to third and Uribe to the bench.

Uribe isn't in the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

Uribe made his Mets debut off the bench in Saturday's 15-2 win, going 1-for-2 against his former team. It's not clear if the Mets plan on opening up regular duties for Uribe at third base, though doing so would allow the team to move Daniel Murphy back to his more natural position at second base.

Uribe and Kelly Johnson are headed to the Mets for John Gant and Rob Whalen, Joel Sherman of the NY Post reports.

Uribe likely will start at third base with David Wright (back) still sidelined. That would then mean Daniel Murphy shifts to second base with Wilmer Flores moving back to shortstop and Ruben Tejada to the bench. Uribe gives the Mets some power from the right side of the plate, something lacking with Wright out.
