Brett Baty Thumb Injury Sparks Concern for Mets Top Prospect and Major League Team

Brett Baty, the Mets' second-ranked prospect, left a Triple-A game with a thumb injury that required imaging.
Baty underwent surgery on the same right thumb last season, heightening worry for a serious re-injury.
Baty's injury and slow start from Eduardo Escobar at third base puts pressure on the Mets to make a move.
Tests revealed only inflammation in the thumb, giving the Mets hope Baty can return quickly.
Baty's development and health remain crucial for the Mets' success this season and beyond.
