The loss of Luis Guillorme to a groin injury has placed the Mets in a somewhat precarious position. They’ve already been fielding one near-automatic out in their lineup, as James McCann (52 wRC+) and Tomás Nido (58 wRC+) have both been dreadful offensively out of the catcher spot. Having one black hole in the lineup is not ideal; having two is obviously a whole other level of concerning. While Guillorme is hardly a world-beater offensively, his production against right-handed pitchers is pretty respectable, and even when he’s not providing much value with the bat, his sterling defense generally makes up for it.
The Mets need to call up Brett Baty
