The Mets will play a pair of split-squad games this afternoon.

In Port St. Lucie, Dillon Gee opposes reigning National League Rookie of the Year Jose Fernandez and the Miami Marlins at 1:10 PM (SNY). In the other game, a contingent on Mets travel to Viera where Jenrry Mejia opposes Gio Gonzalez and the Washington Nationals at 1:05 PM (WOR).

David Wright is scheduled to play in a modified intrasquad game along with Bartolo Colon(three innings), Jonathon Niese (two innings) and Bobby Parnell (one inning) at Port St. Lucie today. Terry Collins has kept Wright and Daniel Murphy out of games for fear of risking injury.

Matt Harvey threw a baseball for the second straight day on Tuesday for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery last September. The big-guy keeps chugging along…

Eric Young, Jr. started for the first time this spring in Tuesday’s win and reached base twice. He had been sidelined with a tight side muscle. After the game he said he felt fine with no issues.

Here are today’s lineups for the Mets.
