Mets' Jose Bautista: On bench for Thursday's matinee

Bautista is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against Philadelphia.

Bautista will receive a little breather after starting the past five games, during which he's gone 3-for-18 with three RBI and three runs scored. Austin Jackson will roam center field during Game 1, but look for Bautista to return to the starting lineup in the nightcap.
