NEW YORK — Mets infielder Brett Baty exited Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. In the moment, with the Mets trailing 6-0, it looked like Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was trying to spark something, pinch-hitting Ronny Mauricio in Baty’s place. Negative. After Sunday’s 9-0 loss to the Rays, Mendoza revealed that Baty had suffered right groin tightness while trying to make a play in the top of the seventh inning. “He’s day-to-day,” Mendoza said.

NEW YORK — The Mets were quickly running out of arms, so when closer Edwin Díaz had to be pulled in the middle of the 10th inning with a hip injury on Wednesday, manager Carlos Mendoza acted with unease.

Judge’s age likely played a factor in his decision to participate in the tournament. The slugger turns 33 next week and is dead in the middle of his prime. Is another Mets player headed to IL?
