""We're looking at a guy that pretty much established himself in the everyday lineup -- whether it was at third base, second base," Baty said. "And then what he was able to provide for us offensively, defensively. It's a big blow. But we got other guys that are going to get opportunities and they're going to have to step up.""
"The Mets recalled first baseman/outfielder Jared Young to replace Baty on the active roster. Ronny Mauricio was given the start at third base against Miami. A former heralded prospect, Mauricio's playing time shrunk down the stretch as the Mets unexpectedly found themselves in a fight for a playoff spot after having the best record in the majors as late as June 12."
The New York Mets placed Brett Baty on the injured list with a strained right oblique after he experienced pain on a swing during the first inning of Friday's loss. Baty briefly remained in the game but was later removed and tested the oblique pregame, unable to swing without pain. He will undergo an MRI by the end of the weekend to determine injury extent and postseason availability. Baty, 25, emerged as an everyday infielder this summer, batting .254 with 18 home runs and a .748 OPS in 130 games. Jared Young was recalled and Ronny Mauricio started at third.
