New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty and outfielder DJ Stewart are both on the bench on Wednesday for the series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers with left-hander James Paxton on the hill. Mark Vientos will handle third-base duties and hit cleanup, while Tyrone Taylor will play left field and bat sixth against Paxton. The struggling Baty has been in a strict platoon with Vientos of late and will head back to the bench with the club facing a southpaw on Wednesday. If the 24-year-old cannot figure it out at the plate soon, he could star losing even more playing time to Vientos, who has an impressive 1.085 OPS since being called up from Triple-A Syracuse on May 15. Against a lefty, Vientos will be a popular DFS value play on Wednesday.
New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty is back on the bench on Wednesday in the series finale in Cleveland against the Guardians against a right-handed pitcher. Mark Vientos is getting another start at the hot corner in his place and is hitting sixth against Guardians right-hander Triston McKenzie. Baty, who is hitting .228 (31-for-136) on the year with three home runs and 15 RBI, is quickly losing playing time at third base to Vientos, who homered on Tuesday night, amidst his offensive struggles. The 24-year-old left-handed hitter has just two hits and 12 strikeouts in his last 26 plate appearances in nine games since May 10. At this point, not even Baty's stellar defensive play at third can save him from losing playing time. It's still early in the year but Baty currently has lost the hold on the starting job at third in New York.
New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty and outfielder Harrison Bader are out of the lineup on Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians. Baty went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts on Monday and is now hitting just .228 (31-for-136) with three homers and 15 RBI this year. The 24-year-old has already lost some playing time at the hot corner to Mark Vientos, and he could be on the bench more often moving forward if he doesn't start hitting soon. It appears to be just a normal day off for Bader, who is batting a solid .281/.322/.341 in 135 at-bats with a homer, 12 RBI and six stolen bases for the Mets. Vientos is at third base and is batting seventh on Tuesday, with Tyrone Taylor in center field and hitting fifth against Guardians right-handed spot starter Xzavion Curry.
New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty, who opened the year as the team's starting third baseman, has already seen his playing time cut because of a timeshare with Mark Vientos. It's unclear how long the Mets plan to continue the platoon at third, but it's not a roster construction designed for the long haul. At some point, the Mets will need to make a decision. In four games since rejoining the Mets, Vientos is 4-for-14 with two doubles, while Baty is 2-for-10 with a double. Over the last month since April 20, Baty is 13-for-77 (.169) with a 30.2% strikeout rate. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. Baty has given the team strong defense at third, but they need more from him at the plate from a position that's known for providing much more offense. If the 24-year-old Baty doesn't pick things up soon at the plate, he could start losing even more playing time to Vientos.
New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty is idle from the starting lineup on Saturday as the Mets will face southpaw Braxton Garrett. Mark Vientos will get the nod at third base instead. Vientos was promoted from Triple-A Syracuse earlier this week and looks to have claimed the short side of a platoon role with Baty at the hot corner. Vientos has already begun to make an impact since his recent promotion, tallying two hits, including one double on May 15. The 24-year-old could be a value play in DFS as Braxton Garrett struggled in his first start of the season on May 12 and enters Saturday with an 8.44 ERA and 1.31 WHIP.
