Baty isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Baty will get a breather Saturday after going 2-for-4 with a home run in Friday's series opener. His absence will give Jeff McNeil a start at second base, opening up center field for Tyrone Taylor.

Baty went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old infielder cracked his ninth home run of the season and his first since June 14. With Mark Vientos continuing to struggle -- he owns a .636 OPS in 2025 -- the door remains open for Baty to settle into a strong-side platoon role at third base going forward. Even so, Baty hasn't performed much better at the plate this year, as he's slashing just .224/.275/.410 with seven doubles, two triples and 29 RBI over 223 plate appearances.

Baty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
After he recently missed out on three straight starts due to a groin injury, Baty returned to the lineup this weekend and went 0-for-8 with a walk and a run scored while covering third base in the first two contests of the series. He's not believed to be dealing with any sort of setback with the groin injury, as his absence from the lineup Sunday likely has more to do with southpaw Jesus Luzardo taking the hill for the Phillies. Baty has produced a lowly .420 OPS thus far in June, and he could be at risk of losing out on playing time against right-handed pitching when Mark Vientos (hamstring) likely returns from the injured list during the upcoming week.

Baty (groin) is starting at third base and batting eighth Friday against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baty appeared to be in danger of heading to the injured list due to the groin injury, but he'll end up rejoining the lineup Friday after sitting out a few games. The third baseman has yet to get on track in June, as he's gone 6-for-44 (.136 average) through 14 games.

Baty (groin) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta, but he could be available off the bench, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ronny Mauricio will pick up a third consecutive start at third base while Baty sits due to a groin injury he suffered Sunday. The Mets were considering placing Baty on the injured list Wednesday, but he arrived at the ballpark Thursday feeling much better and showed improvement during pregame drills. That bodes well for his chances of avoiding a stint on the injured list, but it remains unclear when he'll be cleared to appear in a game again.

Baty was unavailable off the bench for Wednesday's game against Atlanta and may be placed on the injured list if he doesn't show any improvement Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baty hasn't played since Sunday due to his groin injury, and he's been progressing more slowly in his recovery than the Mets originally expected. If he's still unable to play Thursday or doesn't at least show significant improvement, the Mets may opt to place him on the IL, which would keep him sidelined through at least June 26.

Baty (groin) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
With lefty Chris Sale toeing the rubber for Atlanta, there's a good chance the left-handed-hitting Baty would have been out of the lineup even if he wasn't dealing with right groin tightness. The bigger test for his availability figures to come Thursday, when righty Spencer Strider starts for Atlanta in the series finale. The Mets are going with Jeff McNeil at second base and Ronny Mauricio at third base Wednesday.

Baty (groin) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old exited Sunday's loss to the Rays due to right groin tightness and will miss at least one start coming off Monday's team off day. According to DiComo, Baty said he's feeling better but isn't sure if he'll be available off the bench. Ronny Mauricio will start at third base Tuesday in place of Baty.

Baty (groin) was pulled from Sunday's 9-0 loss to the Rays in the seventh inning with right groin tightness, Manny Gomez of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baty was replaced at the plate by Ronny Mauricio to open the bottom of the seventh inning, finishing his day 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Manager Carlos Mendoza explained after the game that Baty was dealing with a groin issue and that he can be considered day-to-day for the time being. The Mets are off Monday before they travel to Atlanta for a three-game set beginning Tuesday.

Baty went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old infielder took Seth Halvorsen deep in the seventh inning, snapping a 14-game homer drought for Baty and giving him seven long balls on the season. While he continues to see regular playing time at third base with Mark Vientos (hamstring) on the shelf while also spelling Jeff McNeil at second base, Baty's bat has cooled down and he's batting just .143 (4-for-28) to begin the month of June. If he doesn't heat up, Ronny Mauricio could begin to steal starts away from Baty.
