LOS ANGELES (AP) — Touted prospect Brett Baty has been called up by the New York Mets and immediately inserted into the starting lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 23-year-old Baty replaces slumping veteran Eduardo Escobar at third base after getting off to an outstanding start at Triple-A Syracuse this season. Escobar was hitting .125 with one homer, six RBIs and a .402 OPS in 14 games for the Mets. A left-handed hitter, Baty went 1 for 4 with an RBI single in New York’s 8-6 victory. He batted eighth against Dodgers right-hander Dustin May.
