The Mets recalled Baty from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

He's grabbing the roster spot vacated by Jesse Winker (oblique). Baty is behind Luisangel Acuna and Jeff McNeil in the pecking order at second base and behind Mark Vientos at third base. His best shot at playing time in the short term might be at designated hitter, although Starling Marte should be at the top of the depth chart there.

The Mets are expected to recall Baty from Triple-A Syracuse prior to Monday's game in Arizona, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll be taking the roster spot of the injured Jesse Winker (oblique). Baty has been dealing with an injury himself lately, having not played since April 30 because of a sore right big toe. However, the toe issue evidently isn't serious enough to prevent a promotion of Baty, who went 3-for-10 with two doubles in three games with Syracuse. With Jeff McNeil back and Luisangel Acuna establishing himself as a regular presence in the Mets' lineup, Baty would appear destined for primarily a reserve role.

Baty has yet to play a game in May for Triple-A Syracuse due to a sore right big toe, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury will likely prevent Baty from being an option to re-join the big-league roster if Jesse Winker (side) lands on the IL. Baty went 3-for-10 with two doubles and three RBI in his first three games following his demotion to Syracuse before the toe issue cropped up.

Baty was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Manny Gomez of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baty launched his first home run of the season Wednesday but has struggled to a .204 average paired with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate across 57 plate appearances to begin the year. With Jeff McNeil (oblique) back on the field, Baty will try to regain his form with Syracuse.

Baty went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Baty got the Mets on the board with a two-out, 425-foot blast off Zack Wheeler in the second inning, his first long ball this season. After going 3-for-27 (.111) in his first 10 games this year, Baty's now gone 8-for-27 (.296) with four extra-base hits in his last nine contests. However, with Jeff McNeil (oblique) expected to rejoin the Mets on Friday, it remains to be seen if Baty has done enough to keep a spot on the big-league roster.

Baty went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Friday's win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

After walking to lead off the third inning and promptly stealing second base, Baty later jump-started New York's two-run fifth frame with a leadoff double on a sharp line drive to right field. The 2019 first-rounder is getting an opportunity as the Mets' primary second baseman while Jeff McNeil (oblique) is on the injured list, and the former is starting to come alive at the plate following a 3-for-27 start. During his current five-game hitting streak, Baty is batting .368 (7-for-19) with two RBI, two doubles, three runs scored and one stolen base.

Baty is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

The Twins have right-hander Joe Ryan on the hill in the series opener, but the left-handed hitting Baty will nonetheless begin the contest on the bench. Baty is just 5-for-36 with a 15:0 K:BB for the Mets this season. Luisangel Acuna will occupy second base and hit ninth.

Baty isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Baty will grab a seat on the bench to start Friday's contest while the lefty-throwing JP Sears takes the mound for the A's. Luisangel Acuna will fill the void at second base and bat seventh.

Baty is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Baty looked to be holding down the strong side of a platoon at second base with Luisangel Acuna while Jeff McNeil (oblique) is on the shelf, but Baty has now hit the bench in three of the Mets' last six matchups with right-handed pitchers. Manager Carlos Mendoza may just be looking to keep both young hitters involved while the Mets are in the midst of a long stretch of facing right-handers, but Baty hasn't helped his case for seeing the majority of the playing time at the keystone either. He enters Monday's contest having gone just 2-for-21 (.095 average) with no walks and eight strikeouts through the Mets' first nine games of the season.

Baty is absent from the lineup for Friday's tilt versus the Blue Jays, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

After starting each of the first three games at second base against right-handers, Baty has now been on the bench for two of the last three contests versus righties. Luisangel Acuna will be at the keystone and batting eighth versus righty Kevin Gausman in the series opener.
