Overview

  • Baty exited Sunday’s 9-0 loss to the Rays in the seventh inning after feeling tightness in his right groin chasing a foul ball
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza has classified Baty as day-to-day with no immediate plans for X-rays or an MRI and will reassess his status on Tuesday
  • Baty, 25, suffered a similar groin issue two years ago during a stolen-base attempt and responded well to treatment
  • Mark Vientos is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday after missing time with a hamstring injury
  • Francisco Lindor’s fractured pinky toe continues to improve and is not expected to sideline him long
