The Mets have averted disaster with Brett Baty’s injury.

The team said Wednesday that the third base prospect, who left Triple-A Syracuse’s game on Tuesday after three innings, has right thumb inflammation and is day to day after undergoing imaging.

Baty, 23, was shaking his hand after taking a swing in the third inning.

He finished the at-bat but was pulled from the game before the top of the fourth.

Last season, 11 games into his MLB career, Baty had surgery to repair a torn UCL in his right thumb.

Baty had a strong showing in spring training but was sent to Triple-A Syracuse to begin the 2023 season.

He’s 6-for-15 with two home runs, five RBIs, two steals and five runs through four games.

Meanwhile, veteran third baseman Eduardo Escobar is off to a slow start for the Mets, going 2-for-20 with one walk in six games.

Luis Guillorme is starting at third base against the Brewers Wednesday afternoon for the second time in three days.
