2026 MLB Trade Deadline Primer: Who's Buying, Selling ... And Landing Tarik Skubal?

Brett Baty Must Recognize Consequences as His Mets Season Goes Awry As the Mets' season continues to slip away from them, the same can be said for third baseman Brett Baty's time in Queens.

JUNE 24 • SI.COM

On bench versus lefty Baty is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Baty will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed batters MJ Melendez and Jared Young while the Cubs send southpaw Shota Imanaga to the bump for the series opener. With Baty taking a seat, Bo Bichette will shift over to third base and Zack Short will enter the lineup at shortstop.

Schwarber, Harper homer again as Phillies beat Mets 6-2 to win series

Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper each homered for the second consecutive game, and Zack Wheeler struck out seven as the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the New York Mets 6-2

JUNE 22 • Associated Press

Idle against southpaw Baty is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Baty will retreat to the bench in the series finale, ceding his spot on the left side of the infield to Zack Short while the Reds send a lefty (Nick Lodolo) to the bump. While starting in each of the Mets' last three games, Baty was able to get on base seven times, but he's still slashing an underwhelming .226/.303/.318 on the season. He could fade into more of a part-time role once the Mets get Francisco Lindor (calf) and Jorge Polanco (Achilles/ankle) return from the injured list.

JUNE 17 • ROTOWIRE

Mired in slump Baty went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Monday's loss to the Reds.

Impact The 26-year-old continues to get regular starts at third base while the Mets cover for the absence of Francisco Lindor (calf) and other infielders, but Baty has done little with the opportunity. He hasn't homered in 24 straight games, slashing just .211/.277/.237 over that stretch with two doubles, five runs, six RBI and a 28.9 percent strikeout rate that would be a career-worst mark. Lindor is ramping up his activity level and is expected back before the end of the month, and his return should bump Bo Bichette back to third base and send Baty back to the bench, or potentially even Triple-A Syracuse.

Last Night in Baseball: Unreal Ending To Athletics-Angels

Extends hit streak with homer Baty went 2-for-6 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's extra-innings win over the Nationals.

Impact The 26-year-old launched a solo shot off Jake Irvin in the fourth inning before getting in on the fun during the Mets' 10-run eruption in the top of the 12th with a two-run single. Baty's long ball was just his third of the season, but two of them have come during his current seven-game hitting streak, a stretch that has seen him hit .345 (10-for-29) with a double, four runs and seven RBI.

Through 138 plate appearances, he's slashing .220/.290/.333 with two steals, 15 RBI and 17 runs.
