Brett Baty, DJ Stewart Sitting On Wednesday
6 months agoNew York Mets third baseman Brett Baty and outfielder DJ Stewart are both on the bench on Wednesday for the series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers with left-hander James Paxton on the hill. Mark Vientos will handle third-base duties and hit cleanup, while Tyrone Taylor will play left field and bat sixth against Paxton. The struggling Baty has been in a strict platoon with Vientos of late and will head back to the bench with the club facing a southpaw on Wednesday. If the 24-year-old cannot figure it out at the plate soon, he could star losing even more playing time to Vientos, who has an impressive 1.085 OPS since being called up from Triple-A Syracuse on May 15. Against a lefty, Vientos will be a popular DFS value play on Wednesday.
