Brett Baty News
New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty (hamstring) will remain out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The young corner infielder has been sidelined since being forced out of Tuesday's game. The organization is hopeful to avoid a stint on the injured list. Baty was able to get through a full workout prior to Friday's game. It sounds like he is making progress, but isn't quite ready to play yet. It'll be Joey Wendle at third base and batting ninth versus right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Friday.
The New York Mets are "very optimistic" that third baseman Brett Baty (hamstring) will avoid the injured list after being pulled from Tuesday's game with a tight left hamstring. Baty came in on Wednesday feeling better than Tuesday night. "I think it just scared me," Baty said. He should be back in the lineup within a few days but is out on Wednesday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. The team has an off day on Thursday before starting a series on Friday in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, so fantasy managers will want to check back then to see if Baty is feeling good enough to play. With Baty resting on Wednesday, Zack Short is starting at third base and is hitting in the nine-hole for the Mets against Pirates left-hander Bailey Falter.
The New York Mets announced that third baseman Brett Baty (hamstring) left Tuesday's game versus the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates due to tightness in his left hamstring. He went 0-for-2 before veteran infielder Joey Wendle replaced him at third base. It's a tough break for the 24-year-old former top prospect, who is batting a strong .305 (18-for-59) with one home run, nine RBI, and seven runs scored over 17 games this season. With very little infield depth in Queens, Wendle and Zack Short would figure to form a platoon for at-bats at the hot corner if Baty needs to miss additional time following Tuesday's departure. Neither of the two have done enough this season to be worth speculative fantasy adds at the moment. Consider Baty day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's series finale against Pittsburgh.

Having seen Brett Baty live around 8-10 times now, there's no doubt in my mind that he's going to be a solid Major League bat. In 237 career minor league games, Baty slashed .289/.390/.493 with 60 doubles and 38 home runs including a .315/.410/.533 line in 95 games last season before his promotion to the New York Mets. Baty has displayed an average to slightly above-average hit tool with the ability to draw walks above 10% of the time. While he's had some swing-and-miss issues at times, he's mostly kept the strikeout rate in check at around the 23-25% range. There's above-average power here as well that should lead to plenty of seasons above 20 home runs and maybe even flirt with 30. The real question is when do we see Baty this season? The Mets still have Eduardo Escobar in the mix at the hot corner and a crowded outfield. Granted, Escobar and Mark Canha (projected LF) aren't surefire locks to hold their respective starting gigs all season so we could see Baty at one or both of those spots if he begins the season hitting well in Triple-A.
