Brett Baty is back with the Mets after Jesse Winker's trip to the injured list, which opens up some interesting possibilities to get him playing time.

Jesse Winker returned to New York on Monday for further tests on his oblique injury, the results of which were not encouraging.

New York Mets infielder Brett Baty has had the full fringe big-league player experience just a few weeks into the season. The 25-year-old started the year at the top level before being optioned to the minors on April 24. The Mets (23-13) then called him back up to the majors on Monday.
