NEW YORK METS NEWS

Brett Baty - Hitless in return Baty (hamstring) went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Padres.

Impact Baty missed a couple of games while dealing with hamstring soreness. The third baseman has gone 18-for-61 (.295) over his last 18 games, setting him up nicely if he can sustain the momentum into the second half. He's slashing .248/.316/.359 with five home runs, 21 RBI, 27 runs scored and two stolen bases over 64 contests this season.

David Peterson - Strikes out seven in loss Peterson (2-7) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Padres.

Impact Peterson gave up all three runs in the second inning, but the Mets' offense couldn't provide a sufficient response. He's allowed just three runs over 15.1 innings since his return to the big-league roster June 27, but his place in the rotation remains up in the air, likely hinging on when Jose Quintana (ribs) will be ready to make his season debut. Peterson has a 6.46 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 60:22 K:BB over 54.1 innings this season.

Francisco Alvarez - Continues upward trend Alvarez went 4-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Padres.

Impact Alvarez's home run streak ended at three games, but he was able to put up a third straight multi-hit effort. The catcher has gone 10-for-22 (.455) over six games in July, matching his total number of hits from his last 19 contests in June. The upward trend has him at a .241/.297/.512 slash line with 16 home runs, 34 RBI and 29 runs scored through 219 plate appearances.

Daniel Vogelbach - Gets aboard four times Vogelbach went 3-for-4 with a walk and two RBI in Friday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Padres.

Impact Vogelbach went 0-for-10 over five games between June 28 and July 4, but he's now posted back-to-back multi-hit efforts. The designated hitter provided a pair of RBI singles in this contest. He's slashing just .225/.335/.355 with five home runs, 26 RBI, 20 runs scored and seven doubles across 197 plate appearances while sitting versus most opposing southpaws.

Francisco Lindor - Stays hot Friday Lindor went 3-for-5 with a home run, two stolen bases, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Friday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Padres.

Impact He's homered in consecutive contests and recorded a pair of multi-steal efforts over his last four games. Lindor is swinging a hot bat, going 10-for-24 (.417) through six contests in July. He's up to 19 homers, 13 thefts, 60 RBI and 56 runs scored through 88 contests. He's batting just .239 on the year, but his .805 OPS is more in line with his steady production across the board.

JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Verlander - Solid in no-decision Verlander allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out two over six innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Friday.

Impact Verlander has logged quality starts in four of his last seven outings. He struggled a bit early on Friday, but settled in after that and left with the game tied at 3-3. The two strikeouts matched his season low, while he walked multiple batters for the sixth time in 12 starts. Verlander owns a 3.60 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 57:19 K:BB over 70 innings. He'll likely be in contention to start in a home series versus the Dodgers after the All-Star break.
