Brett Baty Fantasy Stats

According to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty is considered a potential option for the Red Sox. The Red Sox have been actively looking to improve their depth at third base during the offseason. They heavily targeted top infielders Bo Bichette and Alex Bregman in free agency but were unable to get a deal done. While they have also been linked to Houston's third baseman, Isaac Paredes, Baty appears to also be in the mix. With the Mets signing Bichette, reports in New York suggest they may view Baty as a corner outfielder going forward, as their infield is now quite crowded. Last season, Baty took a massive step forward in his development, posting a .254/.313/.435 line with a career-best 13 doubles and 18 home runs. Baty would take on an everyday role in Boston and would carry sneaky sleeper appeal as a corner infielder, given his productive showing last season.

According to Jon Heyman of The New York Post, New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty is expected to play numerous positions, including left field. On Friday, the team signed infielder Bo Bichette, who is now slated to take over the everyday role at third base, shifting Baty into a super-utility role. While Baty may struggle to find at-bats in the infield, he could carve out a role in the New York outfield that traded Brandon Nimmo this offseason and failed to sign Kyle Tucker. Throughout his MLB career, Baty has only made one appearance in left field, but is expected to earn opportunities there during camp. Last season, the 26-year-old held a .254/.313/.435 line with 13 doubles and a career-best 18 home runs across 130 contests. While Baty's short-term fantasy value did take a hit following Bichette's signing, he could eventually carve out a role in the outfield. For now, he is best left for deeper redraft formats.

The New York Mets have placed infielder Brett Baty (oblique) on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique and recalled infielder Jared Young from Triple-A Syracuse. Baty's IL placement doesn't come as a surprise after he injured his oblique during a 6-2 loss to the Miami Marlins on Friday. Manager Carlos Mendoza admitted afterward that it could end Baty's regular season. While Baty might be able to return from the IL sometime in October, it'll be a moot point if the Mets don't overtake the Cincinnati Reds for the NL's last wild-card spot this weekend and then advance in the playoffs. The Mets have collapsed over the past couple of months, but Baty slashed a superb .313/.375/.504 between the start of August and the end of his season. He'll wrap up the campaign with a .254/.313/.435 line, 18 homers, 50 RBI, 53 runs scored, and eight stolen bases in 130 games and 432 plate appearances. Defensively, Baty spent most of 2025 splitting time at third base with Mark Vientos. The Mets started Ronny Mauricio at the hot corner on Saturday.

New York Mets infielder Brett Baty (oblique) injured his right oblique on Friday and may be done for the season, manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters. After Baty left a 6-2 loss to the Miami Marlins in the second inning, the Mets brought in Ronny Mauricio to replace him at third base. The club will have more information on Baty's status on Saturday, but with just two regular-season games left, he seems unlikely to play this weekend. With oblique injuries often leading to lengthy absences, Baty may not be available for the start of a wild-card series on Sept. 30 if the Mets rally to earn a playoff berth. They and Cincinnati have the same record (82-78), but the Reds own the NL's last playoff spot based on the tiebreaker.

New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty (side) was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. Baty was pulled in the second inning due to right side tightness. He was hitless in his lone plate appearances of the night. Ronny Mauricio has taken over at third base. Fantasy managers should get an update on Baty's status following the contest. For now, fantasy managers should consider Baty as day-to-day until more information is known.

New York Mets infielder Brett Baty (groin) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Atlanta Braves, but he said that his injured groin is feeling better. Baty was able to do some running and change-of-direction drills before the game and noticed some improvement. However, he's unclear if he'll be available off the bench. Ronny Mauricio draws another start at third base and will hit ninth against Braves right-hander Spencer Strider with Mark Vientos (hamstring) still on the injured list. Although Baty is feeling better, he could join Vientos on the IL if he's unable to return to the field during this weekend's big divisional clash in Philadelphia against the Phillies. Baty was one of the team's more consistent hitters in May but has gone 6-for-44 (.136) with two homers, four RBI and 14 K's in 14 games in June to drop his season average to .219.

The New York Mets are considering an injured list stint for infielder Brett Baty (groin), who missed his second straight game in Wednesday's loss to the Atlanta Braves with a groin injury, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. Baty is making progress, but slower than the Mets had hoped. They are likely to make a decision before Thursday's series finale in Atlanta. Regular third baseman Mark Vientos (hamstring) is already on the IL, so if Baty heads there, too, young infielder Ronny Mauricio would continue to see the majority of the starts at the hot corner in Queens. Baty hasn't played since Sunday and has gone just 6-for-44 (.136) with two homers, four RBI, a steal and 14 strikeouts in 14 games in the month of June after having his best month offensively in May. Mauricio has intriguing long-term upside but lacks plate discipline and came into Wednesday's game hitting just .184 in 11 games in 2025.

New York Mets infielder Brett Baty (groin) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Baty was forced to exit early during Sunday's game due to groin tightness. The Mets had a scheduled off day on Monday, but since then Baty has missed the next two games. For now, Baty should be considered day-to-day, but could end up requiring a trip to the injured list. The Mets are currently shorthanded with Mark Vientos (hamstring) on the shelf. That being said, Ronny Mauricio will cover third base and bat ninth versus left-hander Chris Sale on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineup accordingly ahead of first pitch.

New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the division-rival Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. Ronny Mauricio will man the hot corner instead and will hit eighth against Braves right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach. Despite a day off on Monday, Baty will not make the start after exiting Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays with tightness in his right groin. In addition to his injury, the 25-year-old has hit a rough patch at the plate in the month of June, going 6-for-44 (.136) with two homers, four RBI, a steal and 14 strikeouts in 14 games played to drop his season slash line to .219/.267/.419 with a below-average .686 OPS. The former first-rounder has been seeing regular playing time at third with Mark Vientos (hamstring) on the injured list. Mauricio has gone 7-for-34 with two homers, two RBI and two steals in his first 10 games of the season.

New York Mets infielder Brett Baty is making the start at second base and is batting fifth in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the visiting Chicago White Sox and right-hander Jonathan Cannon. Baty has been one of the team's most productive hitters in the month of May, leading to his highest lineup positioning of the year. The 25-year-old former 12th overall pick in 2019 has gone hitless in the last two games but is 14-for-50 (.280) with five home runs, a double, 13 RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base in 17 games in the month of May to raise his season slash line up to .240/.275/.471 with a .746 OPS in 104 at-bats. It's nothing to write home about, but the post-hype prospect could finally be finding his groove offensively at the big-league level. Baty is worth a waiver-wire pickup if he's available in deep-mixed leagues and is an attractive DFS play on Tuesday as well.
