Baty went 1-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Monday's 8-5 win over Atlanta.
Baty broke things open in the first inning with his first career grand slam off Bryce Elder. The 26-year-old Baty has gone just 4-for-27 over his past 10 games, but two of those hits have left the yard. On the season, he's slashing .215/.286/.330 with eight homers, 38 RBI, 42 runs scored and five steals across 379 plate appearances.

Mets' Brett Baty: Goes deep Wednesday
Rotowire
Baty went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Guardians.
Baty, who was making his first start in four games, opened the scoring in the third inning with an opposite-field shot off Tanner Bibee, his seventh homer of the year. Baty had gone just 3-for-22 (.136) in eight games prior to Wednesday as he'd seen his playing time diminish with the returns of Luis Robert and Jorge Polanco. Overall, Baty's slashing .219/.290/.330 across 362 plate appearances this season with 41 runs scored, 32 RBI and five stolen bases.

Mets' Brett Baty: Heading to bench Sunday
Rotowire
Baty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Baty will hit the bench Sunday after he made starts at three different infield positions in the previous three games. The 26-year-old doesn't have a clear path to steady playing time at any one position, but his ability to play all over the infield as well as both corner outfield spots should allow him to continue seeing semi-regular at-bats versus right-handed pitching.

Mets' Brett Baty: Starts Wednesday, but could lose PT
Rotowire
Baty will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
With Juan Soto and Luis Robert resting for the series finale in Milwaukee, Baty will pick up a start in the outfield alongside A.J. Ewing and Carson Benge. Robert's return from the IL earlier this week looks like it could result in Baty fading into more of a part-time role, as the Mets already sent the 26-year-old to the bench against right-hander Brandon Sproat during Tuesday's 4-0 win. Baty has produced a palatable .273/.293/.436 slash line thus far in July, but he's still holding down an underwhelming .614 OPS over 340 plate appearances on the season.

Mets' Brett Baty: Hits late homer vs. Boston
Rotowire
Baty went 3-for-4 with a steal, a solo home run and an additional run scored during the Mets' 6-2 loss to the Red Sox on Friday.
Baty made Friday's score look a little more respectable for the Mets by belting a solo home run in the ninth inning, his fourth long ball of the season and first since May 18 against the Nationals. His three hits were a season high and his most in a game since Sept. 17, 2025. Baty's hitting streak is up to 10 games, during which he has gone 13-for-38 (.342) with two steals, five RBI, five extra-base hits and eight runs scored.
Baty is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
Baty will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed batters MJ Melendez and Jared Young while the Cubs send southpaw Shota Imanaga to the bump for the series opener. With Baty taking a seat, Bo Bichette will shift over to third base and Zack Short will enter the lineup at shortstop.

Mets' Brett Baty: Idle against southpaw
Rotowire
Baty is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
The left-handed hitter will retreat to the bench in the series finale, ceding his spot to the newly acquired Zack Short, with Bo Bichette shifting back to third base from shortstop while the Reds send lefty Nick Lodolo to the bump. While starting each of the Mets' last three games, Baty was able to get on base seven times, but he's still slashing an underwhelming .226/.303/.318 on the season. He could fade into a part-time role once the Mets get Francisco Lindor (calf) back from the injured list.

Mets' Brett Baty: Mired in slump
Rotowire
Baty went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Monday's loss to the Reds.
The 26-year-old continues to get regular starts at third base while the Mets cover for the absence of Francisco Lindor (calf) and other infielders, but Baty has done little with the opportunity. He hasn't homered in 24 straight games, slashing just .211/.277/.237 over that stretch with two doubles, five runs, six RBI and a 28.9 percent strikeout rate that would be a career-worst mark. Lindor is ramping up his activity level and is expected back before the end of the month, and his return should bump Bo Bichette back to third base and send Baty back to the bench, or potentially even Triple-A Syracuse.
Baty went 2-for-6 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's extra-innings win over the Nationals.
The 26-year-old launched a solo shot off Jake Irvin in the fourth inning before getting in on the fun during the Mets' 10-run eruption in the top of the 12th with a two-run single. Baty's long ball was just his third of the season, but two of them have come during his current seven-game hitting streak, a stretch that has seen him hit .345 (10-for-29) with a double, four runs and seven RBI.

Mets' Brett Baty: Ends power drought Thursday
Rotowire
Baty went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Tigers.
The utility player took Keider Montero deep in the fourth inning, tying the game at 3-3 before the Mets turned on the jets in an eventual 9-4 victory. It was Baty's first long ball since April 23, snapping a 17-game drought, and just his second of the season. Through 138 plate appearances, he's slashing .220/.290/.333 with two steals, 15 RBI and 17 runs.
Baty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Baty will hit the bench for the series finale while the Diamondbacks send left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill. Andy Ibanez will cover third base in Baty's stead.
