Michael Cuddyer gets night off to rest sore left knee

The Mets outfielder received a rest on Tuesday, a day after delivering two hits to finally have a semblance of comfort at the plate. Cuddyer returned to the starting lineup on Sunday after missing the previous four starts.
“Michael’s knee has been acting up,” manager Terry Collins said before the Mets lost, 3-0, to the Giants at AT&T Park. “I know he’s OK to play. I know he’s probably a little sore after playing on it for a couple of days.”
Cuddyer snapped an 0-for-16 stretch on Monday, but was hitting only .133 over his last 19 games.
