Brett Baty Out, Eduardo Escobar In For Tuesday's Contest
2 years agoThe New York Mets are keeping third baseman Brett Baty on the bench to start Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The top prospect, fresh from the minors, made his Major League debut on Monday, going 1-for-4 with a single. Southpaw Clayton Kershaw is on the mound for the Dodgers, so switch hitter Eduardo Escobar will play third base instead and bat eighth. The 34-year-old is only batting .125 with one homer over 14 games this season. However, Escobar slashed .259/.299/.519 against lefties in 2022, so fantasy managers might want to take a chance on him.
