SS Ronny Cedeno earned leadoff duties Thursday in large part due to his .391 on-base percentage heading into the game, by far a career high. In manager Terry Collins' words, Cedeno has "bought into" the team's concept of plate discipline. Despite never having drawn more than 30 walks in a season, he already has nine free passes in 23 games. He finished 0-for-5.

Cedeno had two hits Monday in a 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh.
Advice: Cedeno is 7 for 20 in his last five games.

Cedeno, who was given a day off Wednesday, returned to the lineup with a bang, blasting a three-run, home run in the Mets' 9-4 win over the Reds on Thursday.
Recommendation: Cedeno should be in the lineup nearly every day with Ruben Tejada (quad) sidelined. Despite the home run today, don't expect much power from him, but he should get you some counting stats while he plays.
