Mets Third Baseman Brett Baty Exits Game with Apparent Side Injury
New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty exited Friday's crucial series opener against the Marlins with an apparent injury to his side. During his first-inning at-bat, Baty grimaced and clutched his side after a swing and miss. Although he played the field in the bottom half of the inning, making a throw to first, he was later seen speaking with trainers in the dugout before heading to the clubhouse and not returning. Ronny Mauricio replaced him at third base, and the team stated the story is still developing.
