SAN DIEGO -- Brett Baty’s rocky season came to perhaps its conclusion on Sunday, when the Mets announced he has a broken left index finger and will miss four to six weeks. Anything other than the most optimistic end of that recovery timeline will end Baty’s regular season. The Mets’

SAN DIEGO -- The play was still ongoing when Paul Blackburn crumpled to the ground, clearly stunned after taking a high-velocity line drive off his pitching hand. For a long while, Blackburn sat on the slope of the pitcher’s mound, legs splayed, as a group of trainers and coaches checked

NEW YORK -- After a 3-2 loss to the Marlins on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field, the Mets find themselves two games behind the Braves for the third National League Wild Card spot. On the bright side, it appeared New York dodged a bullet when it comes to left fielder
