NextImg:Brett Baty exits Triple-A game with injury in potential Mets scare

An injury may prevent Brett Baty from being in consideration for a call-up to the Mets in the near future.

The 23-year-old third base prospect left Triple-A Syracuse’s game on Tuesday afternoon against Rochester in the third inning after appearing to hurt his right hand during a swing.

Baty had surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb late last season, 11 games into his MLB career.

Baty finished the at-bat and drew a walk but he was replaced in the fourth inning by Jose Peraza.

Any serious injury to Baty — the Mets’ No. 2 ranked prospect behind catcher Francisco Alvarez, according to MLB.com — would be a major concern, particularly with Eduardo Escobar getting off to a slow start to the 2023 season.

Baty, meanwhile, is off to a hot start in Triple-A after a strong showing in spring training, going 6-for-15 with two home runs, five RBIs, five runs and a stolen base in four games.

    Over his 11 MLB games last season after making his big-league debut in August, Baty was 7-for-38 (.184) with two home runs and five RBIs.
