Marcus Semien returned from the injured list but did not play in the Mets’ 4-1 victory over the Phillies, as interim manager Andy Green opted for Brett Baty, who contributed with two hits, including a homer. Semien has struggled this season, posting the worst stats of his career and was sidelined since June 24 with a hip injury. Baty acknowledged his disappointing year but has shown improvement recently. To accommodate Semien’s return, Zack Short was designated for assignment after filling in at second base.
