Brett Baty - Hitting bench against righty Baty is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.

Impact Though he'll take a seat against righty Walker Buehler in the series opener, Baty has maintained a strong-side platoon role for much of August. Baty doesn't have a home at any one position, but his ability to play multiple spots on the diamond and in the outfield had helped him pick up starts in each of the Mets' previous eight matchups with righties.

Christopher Morel - Contract selected by Mets The Mets selected Morel's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Impact Morel inked a minor-league deal with the Mets in late June and has earned a promotion to the big club after slashing .321/.382/.716 with 12 home runs in only 31 contests with Syracuse. The 27-year-old began this season with the Marlins before being cut loose after managing a lowly .425 OPS in 22 contests. Morel could get a chance to play against some lefties.

Bo Bichette - Bangs out three hits Sunday Bichette went 3-for-3 with a walk and a triple in Sunday's win over the Nationals.

2026 MLB Division Winner Odds: Can Padres Make Up Ground On Dodgers?

Luis Torrens - Continues power surge Sunday Torrens went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Nationals.

Impact Though he remains the No. 2 catcher on the depth chart behind Francisco Alvarez, Torrens has capitalized on the opportunities he's received so far in August. Through his seven starts this month, Torrens has gone 8-for-21 (.381 average) with four home runs, four walks, one stolen base, 10 RBI and six runs. Considering Torrens left the yard just twice through his first 65 games of the season and owns an unremarkable .358 slugging percentage over his nine-year big-league career, fantasy players shouldn't count on the journeyman backstop's recent power surge lasting much longer.
