Prior to tonight’s game against the Dodgers, the Mets revealed that Bretty Baty has suffered a torn UCL in his right thumb. The Mets placed Baty on the 10-day IL, retroactive to August 29, and he will undergo surgery on Thursday. Given the typical five-week recovery timeline , he will likely miss the remainder of the regular season, though he could still be in play for October.
Baty suffered the injury making a play at third base against the Rockies. He missed last night’s game against Los Angeles but was available to run if needed.
