Remains out Baty (groin) remains on the bench Saturday against Cincinnati.
Impact Baty is dealing with a groin strain which is considered mild but which is costing him key at-bats as he looks to make his case for a starting role next season. The battle for playing time at the hot corner in Queens seems wide open, with both Baty (.596 OPS in 97 games) and Mark Vientos (.588 OPS in 51 games) failing to stake their claim. Fellow rookie Ronny Mauricio (.743 OPS in 11 games) will start at third base Saturday.

Impact Baty aggravated his groin while running the bases in the Mets' win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday and is not in the lineup for Thursday's series finale, though it sounds like he might be able to avoid the 10-day injured list.

Not in lineup, getting scans Baty is not in the lineup Thursday versus Arizona as he undergoes imaging scans on his left groin, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Danny Mendick has joined the Mets in New York in case Baty requires a stint on the 10-day injured list. The young third baseman felt discomfort in his groin while running the bases in Wednesday's win over the Diamondbacks and manager Buck Showalter revealed afterward that it has been a lingering issue. Mark Vientos will handle the hot corner in Thursday's series finale.

Officially back in big leagues Baty was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.
Impact Baty hit .246/.329/.493 with five home runs in 17 games with Syracuse after being sent down last month. The 23-year-old has hit only .212/.284/.332 to this point at the major-league level but should see regular playing time at third base -- at least against right-handed pitching -- down the stretch. Baty is at the hot corner and batting eighth on Friday against the Mariners.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Returning to majors Friday Baty will be called up from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday when major-league rosters expand, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
Impact Baty has struggled to a .212/.284/.332 batting line in 353 big-league plate appearances since his debut in late 2022, but the 23-year-old was a preseason top-100 prospect and continues to crush it at the Triple-A level. The out-of-contention Mets might as well give him regular looks at third base as they play out the string.

Mets option 3B Brett Baty to Triple A Baty was called up in mid-April and has been New York's everyday third baseman since.
AUGUST 7, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Optioned to Triple-A Baty was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Baty was hitting .075 with a 34 percent strikeout rate over his last 40 at-bats. Jonathan Arauz is getting promoted in a corresponding move, and Daniel Vogelbach could also see more playing time in the short term, as Mark Vientos will presumably play more third base than designated hitter in the coming days.

Impact The 23-year-old third baseman went yard for the second straight day, this time taking Touki Toussaint deep for a solo shot in the third inning. Baty is batting just .200 (7-for-35) in July with a 1:14 BB:K, but he still has significant upside and an everyday role for the Mets if he can begin to solve big-league pitching.

He's slashing .248/.316/.359 with five home runs, 21 RBI, 27 runs scored and two stolen bases over 64 contests this season.
