Mets' Brett Baty: Might be tried in outfield
New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns, when speaking Tuesday, didn't rule out the possibility of Brett Baty being tried in the outfield next season, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.Baty has played a bit of left field in the minors and was used there for one inning with the Mets in 2023, but he hasn't started a game in the outfield since 2022. The Mets were impressed with how he adapted to second base when used there last season, and it appears the team is aiming to continue to increase Baty's defensive versatility.

Mets' Brett Baty: Back in action at Triple-A
Triple-A Syracuse reinstated Brett Baty (finger) from the 7-day injured list Wednesday. Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.Baty had been sidelined since late August with a fractured left index finger. New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that Baty playing again in the majors this season is "in play," per Tim Healey of Newsday. However, given his .633 OPS in 50 games with the Mets this season, it's unlikely he'll have much of a role even if he does get recalled. He'll make his return to the Triple-A lineup Wednesday against Charlotte as Syracuse's designated hitter.

Mets' Brett Baty: Could get work at second base
Brett Baty might see action at second base with Triple-A Syracuse, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.The New York Mets have struggled to get production from the keystone all season, with Jeff McNeil slumping to a career-worst .624 OPS. Jose Iglesias has filled in admirably against left-handed pitching of late, but the 34-year-old isn't a long-term solution. Baty could get a chance to fill that hole later in the year, especially if McNeil gets traded, but first he'll need to get himself straightened out at the plate -- Baty lost the starting job at third base due to a .229/.306/.327 slash line through 50 big-league games.

Mets' Brett Baty: Heading to bench Wednesday
Brett Baty is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.Baty was in the lineup for three of the last four games with the New York Mets facing four right-handed starting pitchers, but he'll give way to the righty-hitting Mark Vientos on Wednesday while southpaw James Paxton takes the hill for the Dodgers. Vientos should continue to regularly replace the lefty-hitting Baty when the Mets face lefties, but the distribution of starts at third base between the two against right-handed pitching still looks to be up in the air. Baty has helped his cause by getting on base five times in 12 plate appearances over his last three starts, but Vientos owns a 1.085 OPS since his May 15 call-up from Triple-A Syracuse to keep himself in the mix for starts against righties.
