The Mets announced that Baez was removed in the fifth inning of Sunday's game due to left hip tightness, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
Baez went 0-for-2 on the day before exiting following his at-bat in the top of the fifth when he appeared to tweak the hip in question. The Mets haven't provided an indication on Baez's status for the upcoming week, and he could undergo further testing before a determination is made on his availability for the three-game series versus the Nationals that begins Tuesday. Jonathan Villar moved over to shortstop after Baez's exit and would become the primary option at the position if Baez is forced to miss additional time.
