NY Mets vs Braves updates, score, analysis of Wednesday doubleheader

NEW YORK — Andy Green understands that there is a fine line he needs to walk while managing the Mets with five days to go until Major League Baseball’s trade deadline.

With the Mets in clear sell mode, Green is open to talking with the players who believe they are on the block, but has not been inundated with questions.

As for keeping workloads in check with deals on the horizon, the Mets have the benefit of an unscheduled off day on Tuesday after thunderstorms rolled through the area. The top arms in the bullpen, which are likely to be pillaged at the deadline, is largely fresh coming off the idle day and a blowout 14-3 victory over the Braves on Monday.

The Mets will now look to find success with a rested roster in Wednesday’s split-admission doubleheader against the Braves on Wednesday, with games slated for 1:10 p.m. and 7:10 p.m., at Citi Field.

Sean Manaea (2-5, 4.52 ERA) will take the ball the ball for the Mets in the opening game against AJ Smith-Shawver, who is making his first start since late May last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Manaea is coming off one of his best starts when he held the Dodgers to one run across six innings.

The second game will feature Christian Scott (3-2, 3.13) for the Mets against Braves ace Chris Sale (11-6, 2.19).
