Luis Robert Jr. Back in Mets Lineup | New York Mets News

Luis Robert Jr. is back in the Mets lineup—cleanup spot, first since April—and the team’s move signals they’re ready to trade him before the deadline. Acquired from Chicago in January, Robert wants to stay in New York but knows trades are out of his hands. He’s shown power flashes since returning from rehab, hitting two homers and drawing three walks in his last six games. With less than $7M left on his deal and a $20M option for 2027 (with $2M buyout), he’s a rental. Teams know his injury history but are drawn to his 38-homer, 20-steal potential—and his recent form suggests he’s returning to that level.
