Brett Baty - Page 18 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Expected back in AAA lineup Friday Baty (thumb) is expected to return to Triple-A Syracuse's lineup Friday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Impact Baty injured his right thumb on Tuesday, but all tests came back negative and he's considered day-to-day. The top prospect is off to a .400/.471/.867 start with two homers and two steals in his first four games with Syracuse this season. That, combined with Eduardo Escobar's slow start, could mean a quick promotion for Baty if he keeps it up.

Mets prospect Brett Baty day to day with thumb issue Imaging showed Baty does not have any structural damage.

MRI reveals no structural damage Baty is day-to-day with right thumb inflammation after an MRI revealed no structural damage, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Baty left Tuesday's game for Triple-A Syracuse after injuring the thumb, and it was a concern for all involved that it was the same thumb that required surgery for a torn ligament back in September. The 23-year-old top prospect will likely sit for a day or two while recovering, but it does appear he's mercifully avoided a serious injury.

Brett Baty Dealing With Thumb Soreness, Will go for MRI Mets top prospect Brett Baty exited Triple-A Syracuse’s game with right thumb soreness. He will go for imaging on Wednesday.

APRIL 4, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

To have scans on right thumb Baty is scheduled to undergo imaging tests Wednesday after injuring his right thumb in a game Tuesday at Triple-A Syracuse, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact It's ominous news given that the 23-year-old top prospect required surgery for a torn ligament in that same thumb last September. This latest issue is being called right thumb soreness for now, but the imaging scans will paint a fuller picture. Baty was challenging for starting third base duties this spring in Mets camp before Eduardo Escobar ultimately claimed the gig.

Huge day for Syracuse Baty went 4-for-5 with a walk, a stolen base, two home runs and five RBI for Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

Impact The 23-year-old forced the Mets to make a tough decision at the end of spring training when they optioned him back to Triple-A, and it looks like Baty is going to keep the pressure on for a quick promotion. Eduardo Escobar has also gone 1-for-16 with seven strikeouts to begin the season at the starting third baseman on the big-league squad, and if he doesn't turn things around soon, New York may decide Baty gives them their best chance to win in 2023.

Sent down to Triple-A The Mets optioned Baty to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Impact Baty more than held his own before the demotion with a .325/.460/.425 slash with a home run and two steals over 50 plate appearances. One of the top hitting prospects in the Mets' system, Baty will head to Triple-A to begin the season, but he has a real chance to help New York and fantasy players before 2023 comes to a close.

Still in third base mix Baty has played well enough this spring at third base to give the Mets a tough decision to make between him and incumbent starter Eduardo Escobar, Tim Britton of The Athletic repor...

Impact Baty's thumped the ball all spring, batting .325 (13-for-40) with a home run and two stolen bases, but the 23-year-old has struck out 14 times in 50 plate appearances, a sign he could potentially use more time at Triple-A. Escobar, on the other hand, hasn't been able to get going at the plate at all and is hitting just .133 (4-for-30) with one extra-base hit, a double. The veteran Escobar remains the likely Opening Day starter at the hot corner, but a slow start could prompt the Mets to make a quick switch and give Baty a chance to take the job, as there's little margin for error in what should be an ultra-competitive NL East.

Glove looking good Baty made a couple nice defensive plays in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros, Fiifi Frimpong of The New York Daily News reports.

Impact The 23-year-old's defense at third base was a concern coming into camp, but Baty is putting in the work to convince the Mets he can handle a starting assignment. He's also been swinging a hot bat through the early part of the Grapefruit League schedule, going 9-for-19 with a double and a homer, and Baty still has a realistic shot at unseating Eduardo Escobar at the hot corner as soon as Opening Day.

Mets' top prospects Francisco Álvarez, Brett Baty look like stars in training

Defensive issues a concern Baty committed his second error of the spring in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins.

Impact The 23-year-old came into camp with a real chance to win the starting third base job over veteran Eduardo Escobar, but erratic defense would likely give Baty a quick ticket back to Triple-A Syracuse to begin the season. His bat appears to be big-league ready after he slashed .315/.410/.533 through 95 games between Double-A and Triple-A last year with 19 homers.

States case for 3B job with HR Baty went 2-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's Grapefruit League contest against the Astros.

Impact The Mets' top prospect has a legitimate chance to be the Opening Day third baseman with a strong camp, per MLB Pipeline. Eduardo Escobar offers a nice veteran fallback option for New York if Baty needs more seasoning at Triple-A, but the 23-year-old prospect is off to an excellent start to spring training.
