Mets to Recall Brett Baty

The lingering mystery of who will replace Jesse Winker on the roster has been solved. SNY’s Andy Martino reported Monday that Brett Baty would re-join the team that day.

Baty, 25, started the season with the big league club but found himself on the outside looking in when Jeff McNeil returned from the IL last month and with Luisangel Acuña‘s hot streak. The now-minted utility player, who saw time at third and second in 2025, was hitting .204/.246/.352/.597 before his demotion. However, Baty hit .333/.429/.611 in his last seven big league games.

The addition of Baty allows the Mets to use McNeil in the outfield more to supplement the loss of Winker and gives the team an additional left-handed bat. Baty has seen time in the outfield in his minor and major league career, last playing left field in 2023.

Of note, Baty was dealing with a toe injury for the past week, which kept him out of minor league play. It’s clear the injury wasn’t severe enough to prevent his call up, but it’s something to keep an eye on as the Mets configure their roster.
