Meckler<\/a> (head) is starting in left field and batting third Monday against the Diamondbacks, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.<\/p>\n

Meckler was lifted from Sunday’s loss to Tampa Bay after he ran into the wall in center field during the fourth inning. However, he managed to avoid a significant injury and will be right back in the lineup for Monday’s series opener. Meckler is 2-for-14 with one double, two RBI and three runs scored over his last five appearances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This page may contain affiliate links.
