Two years ago, he felt groin tightness on his left side while attempting to steal a base.<\/p>\n<p id=\"J6KMT3MPFJHX3K4AJ5CEMERMXI\">\u201cIt was a similar motion,\u201d Baty explained, \u201clike stepping over and pushing off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"RIDBC42EJJENXDC5OBO77LZONE\">The young infielder responded well to treatment after that experience. The Mets will take a similar course of action this time around.<\/p>\n<p id=\"WGKF2ORU2BHDNED45XZHGVDKS4\">\u201cWe\u2019re just going to take it day by day,\u201d Baty said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"IK44XGGILJAADB4K7OJB6LUY2U\">Baty looked like he had finally figured out big league pitching after being recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on May 5. He batted .326 with a 1.053 OPS, including five home runs and 13 RBIs in the 15 games after that.<\/p>\n<p id=\"52D2Q6LZQRC7PBIS2OZ5KO7QFI\">Since then, his struggles at the plate have returned. He\u2019s 12-for-63 (.158 batting average) with two home runs in his last 20 games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"MX6OUXJGFBFLPCXPYJWDJE6BXU\">Perhaps a short break is just what the infielder needed at this time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mets infielder was pulled in the seventh inning against the Rays<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":70608,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
