Javier Baez Returns To Lineup, Reaches Base Three Times
3 years agoNew York Mets shortstop Javier Baez (back) was activated from the injured list on Sunday and went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, an RBI, and was hit by a pitch in the Mets 7-2 win over the Dodgers. Baez's presence appeared to jump-start what has been a lackluster Mets offense over the past two weeks. Though Baez had not done much for the Mets in 10 games since coming over from the Chicago Cubs in a trade deadline deal at the end of July, his presence was certainly felt on Sunday. Hopefully, Baez can build off of this performance and continue to ignite the Mets offense. On the season, Baez has slashed .243/.289/.476 with 24 home runs, 69 RBI, 13 stolen bases, and 54 runs scored in 102 games. Fantasy managers should have Baez back in their lineups in all formats now that he has returned from his stint on the injured list.
