Brett Baty Likely Done For The Season
4 months agoNew York Met third baseman Brett Baty (finger) is likely done for the rest of the 2024 season after breaking his left index finger while playing in the minors. Baty had a chance to be part of the team's September roster at the big-league level by the end of his week, but instead he's out four to six weeks with an injury he suffered on Sunday. It's highly disappointing for the 24-year-old left-handed hitter, who had a .997 OPS in his last 12 games for Triple-A Syracuse. Not that Baty would have cut into the playing time of Mark Vientos at third base in the Big Apple to close the 2024 season, but it's pretty much official that he won't be an option now for the Mets to close out the year. The former 12th overall pick in 2019 was sent to Syracuse earlier this year after hitting just .229/.306/.327 with 42 strikeouts in 50 games at the major-league level. Baty's fantasy stock going into 2025 has never been lower.
