Baty went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.
Baty opened the season with a four-game hitting streak, and now he's hit safely in four of his last five as well. He's seeing the ball well of late, but that hasn't translated to a lot of production from a fantasy perspective. Despite hitting .275 through his first 40 plate appearances, he sports a .668 OPS with no homers, three doubles, a triple, six RBI, six runs scored and a 11:0 K:BB.

Mets' Brett Baty: Good to go Tuesday
Rotowire
Baty (thumb) is starting in right field and batting fifth Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.
Baty sat out Sunday's matchup with the Giants due to a jammed thumb, which he sustained on a slide during Saturday's contest. The 26-year-old, who has a .242/.242/.364 slash line with no homers and one steal through 33 plate appearances this year, is ready for action after taking Monday's team off day to recover from the injury.

Mets' Brett Baty: Expected back Tuesday
Rotowire
Baty (thumb) is expected to be available for Tuesday's series opener against the Diamondbacks, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Mets' Brett Baty: Absent from starting nine
Rotowire
Baty is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Mets' Brett Baty: Draws Opening Day start at DH
Rotowire
Baty will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Thursday's opener against the Pirates.
With righty Paul Skenes on the bump, the left-handed-hitting Baty gets the call over righty-swinging Mark Vientos. Baty is also likely to see starts at first base against right-handed pitching, but Jorge Polanco is getting his first career start there Thursday.
Mets' Brett Baty: Pops first spring homer Thursday
Rotowire
Baty went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals.
Getting the start in right field and batting fourth, Baty drove a Miles Mikolas first-pitch fastball the other way for his first homer of the spring. The 26-year-old is likely ticketed for a utility job to begin the season, but if the Mets decide that Carson Benge needs more minor-league seasoning, it could open the door for Baty to start, or at least be on the strong side of a platoon, in right field.

Mets' Brett Baty: In Saturday's lineup
Rotowire
Baty (hamstring) will start at first base and bat fourth in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals.
Baty tweaked his hamstring during an offseason workout shortly before the start of spring training, but he's now been cleared to begin playing in exhibition games. Now that he's healthy, the 26-year-old is expected to compete with top prospect Carson Benge for the starting job in right field this spring. If Baty loses the battle, he will likely still make the Opening Day roster as a utility man.
