Mets Bo Bichette not expected to miss much time…
Bo Bichette isn’t expected to miss much time after struggling a left ankle contusion in the Mets’ loss on Wednesday evening.
The group’s beginning third baseman wasn’t in the lineup for the collection finale against the Brewers on Thursday. Though he was out there off the bench, he did not play.
He hit a foul ball off his left ankle in the third inning a day earlier.
“Kind of the classic contusion from smoking a ball off your ankle,” interim supervisor Andy Green said before the Mets’ 8-2 loss to Milwaukee at Citi Field on Thursday.
“But I think he’s ultimately going to be OK.”
Brett Baty began in place of Bichette at third.

It was another irritating night for A.J. Ewing, the rookie middle fielder who has seen his OPS fall to .667. In August, Ewing is batting .172 (15-for-87).
He did hit the ball exhausting thrice and was robbed of a hit in the eighth inning by Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt.
“I’m seeing a ton of bad luck for a hitter right now, he’s taking some really good swings,” Green said. “Yesterday’s sport began with 106 mph off the pitcher’s back that ricocheted to the third baseman. He’s having better and better at bats that are more in line with who he’s always been.

“That’s really encouraging to see — it’s discouraging from a bottom-line perspective, not getting anything to show up in the box score or the game.”
Juan Soto felt good after taking live batting follow and working the bases Wednesday.
The plan was for him to get more on-field work Thursday, but that didn’t occur because of the climate. Soto has been sidelined since July 24 with a left calf pressure.
