Brett Baty, Harrison Bader Sitting On Tuesday
7 months agoNew 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.
