Brett Baty exits game with hamstring tightness in Mets concern
NY Post
Brett Baty’s good start to the season took a hit Tuesday, as the third baseman was removed from the Mets’ 3-1 win over Pittsburgh with left hamstring tightness.
He felt the injury when he lunged to try to beat out a base hit to lead off the bottom of the fifth and briefly remained in the game.
Both Baty and Carlos Mendoza sounded confident afterward that the injury was caught early and called it day-to-day, with an off day following Wednesday’s series finale at Citi Field.
Baty, who was 0-for-2 with a pair of groundouts, said he initially decided to stay in the game, but still had tightness when he tested it running while at third base in the top of the sixth, so he was removed.
After the game, Baty noted he had a similar injury last year while the team was on the West Coast, but he ended up missing just parts of two games.
He was replaced Tuesday by Joey Wendle — and since everything is coming up Mets these days, the little-used utility infielder delivered a game-tying double in the bottom of the seventh.
Darez Diggs, the brother of Texans wideout Stefon Diggs and Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs, pleaded no contest to a felony charge, received two years of probation last month and will be required to perform 20 hours of community service in connection to an elevator attack that occurred in May 2023, according to TMZ Sports.
PHILADELPHIA — The easy thing is to feed the beast. There is some rawness and some rancor in this series now. There are some hard feelings and some hurt egos. The Knicks are a team forged by ferocity, tempered by toughness, and now there is a silly sense in the air that if they don’t get even with Joel Embiid, Corleone-style, that maybe they aren’t as stolid as we thought.
WASHINGTON — The NHL’s Public Enemy No. 1 took a seat in his stall in the back corner of the room following his team’s optional practice Saturday and drew chuckles from the assembled audience by spinning a tale about being killed 68 times in Halo by Chris Kreider following the previous night’s Game 3.
