The New York Mets listed Brett Baty as their starting third baseman for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.
Baty, a left-handed batter, will stay in the Mets' lineup for Sunday's game against Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott, a sign that the young infielder could start seeing his playing time trend up. He has a career .502 OPS versus lefties, but has been crushing them (in a small sample size) so far in 2024.
Baty is 2-for-4 versus lefties to open this year, with 1 home run and 4 RBI in those opportunities. He is projected for 8.6 FanDuel points against the Reds today.
