Mark Vientos - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sitting again amid slump Vientos is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Cubs.

Impact For the second straight game, the Mets will utilize Brett Baty at first base and MJ Melendez at designated hitter. Vientos is hitless over his last seven games and has seen his season OPS drop from 1.236 all the way down to .596 over that span.

Sitting Wednesday Vientos is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Impact Vientos has not recorded a hit over his last seven games, going 0-for-23 with eight strikeouts and a sacrifice fly over that span. He'll be on the bench for Wednesday's game while Brett Baty starts at first base and bats third.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Sitting amid slump Vientos is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Vientos has settled in as the Mets' primary first baseman but will hit the bench Sunday while in the midst of an 0-for-15 slump. Jared Young will take over at first base and bat third in the series finale versus the A's.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Settling into full-time role Vientos will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Vientos will remain in the starting nine for an eighth straight contest after going 9-for-23 with a home run, two doubles, five runs and two RBI over the previous seven games. Though he had been limited to a short-side platoon role to begin the season, Vientos should be in line for a regular spot in the lineup versus both left- and right-handed pitching in the wake of Juan Soto's (calf) recent move to the injured list.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Slugs first homer of year Vientos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Giants.

Impact Getting the start at first base and batting sixth against Robbie Ray, Vientos got hold of a slider from the southpaw and drove it 406 feet into the left-field seats. It was the 26-year-old slugger's first homer and first RBI of the season, and while he's been used sparingly so far, Vientos has gone 3-for-9 with a double in his limited action.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from Opening Day lineup Vientos is not in the lineup for Thursday's opener versus the Pirates.

Impact With right-hander Paul Skenes on the bump for the Pirates, the Mets will go with Jorge Polanco at first base and the left-handed-hitting Brett Baty at designated hitter. The right-handed-hitting Vientos is unlikely to be a strict short-side platoon bat, but he could sit regularly against tougher righties.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Connects for first spring homer Vientos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's split-squad game against the Nationals.

Impact Getting the start at first base and batting second, Vientos took Gus Varland deep in the eighth inning for his first long ball of the spring, but also struck out against PJ Poulin in the sixth. Vientos appears to have a spot on the Opening Day bench locked up, but with only two hits in 35 at-bats during Grapefruit League action (.057 batting average) and a 1:7 BB:K, the 26-year-old appears to be a long way from regular playing time.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Spring struggles continue Vientos went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros.

Impact Getting the start at first base and batting second, Vientos wasn't able to catch up to a 95.3 mph fastball from Ryan Weiss in the fourth inning, striking out on a foul tip into Carlos Perez's glove. The Mets are still hoping Vientos can rebound from a tough 2025 and become a key part of the offense, but he's batting a miserable .048 (1-for-21) this spring with a 0:4 BB:K. Given his defensive limitations, if the 26-year-old isn't contributing with his bat, his playing time could dwindle quickly once the regular season begins in favor of other young players like Brett Baty or Ronny Mauricio.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Idle again Vientos is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Miami.

Impact Vientos will be on the bench for a second straight game as he works through a 4-for-34 (.118) slump across his last 11 games. Starling Marte will slot in at DH on Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from lineup Vientos is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Miami.

Impact Vientos is just 7-for-47 (.149) with no home runs over his last 14 contests, so he'll get a day to regroup. The Mets are going with Francisco Alvarez in the designated hitter slot.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tossed from Sunday's loss Vientos went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Nationals before being ejected from the game in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Impact Vientos was run from the game after he expressed his displeasure with a third-strike call after he appeared to check his swing. The 25-year-old isn't expected to face any further punishment stemming from his ejection, but it adds to what's been a frustrating finish to the season. Vientos will head into Tuesday's series opener versus the Cubs having gone 2-for-20 with eight strikeouts over his last seven games.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Retreats to bench Vientos is not in Saturday's lineup against the Nationals.

Impact The 25-year-old third baseman had started 12 of the last 14 games, with his two off days coming against righties. Vientos is hitting .179 with two home runs and 19 strikeouts in 17 games this month. Brett Baty will man the hot corner while Starling Marte gets the start at designated hitter against righty Cade Cavalli.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Exiting lineup Wednesday Vientos is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Impact Vientos has been one of the Mets' top hitters since the All-Star break, but he's cooled down a bit over the past couple weeks. Over his last 10 games, Vientos has gone just 5-for-33 (.152 average) with 11 strikeouts, so manager Carlos Mendoza will give the slugger the night off to get a mental reset. Starling Marte will replace Vientos as the Mets' designated hitter.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Receiving Sunday off Vientos is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact With Brett Baty occupying third base and Juan Soto filling the designated-hitter spot, Vientos will exit the lineup for the first time since Aug. 16. While starting in each of the previous 19 games, Vientos slashed .310/.390/.761 with nine home runs, 24 RBI and 16 runs.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep in win Vientos went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

Impact Vientos made an early impact, driving in a run and scoring in the first inning before crushing a 427-foot homer in the third. The 25-year-old has been on a tear since the All-Star break, batting .285 with 19 extra-base hits and 32 RBI over 35 games. For the season, he owns a .245/.298/.441 slash with 16 home runs, 56 RBI and 41 runs scored across 396 plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Homers again in loss Vientos went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 11-8 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Vientos jump-started the Mets' offense with a three-run homer in the third inning. After seeing his 10-game hitting streak end Thursday, he's bounced back by homering on consecutive days for the third time in August. The 25-year-old began the month with seven long balls but is now up to 15 on the year while carrying a .246/.293/.439 slash, 53 RBI and 37 runs scored across 375 plate appearances.

AUGUST 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Extends hitting streak to 10 games Vientos went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Phillies.

Impact It was Vientos' seventh game of the year with at least three RBI, and he also swatted his 13th homer of the season. The 25-year-old slugger's .723 OPS in 2025 is disappointing after he posted an .838 OPS in the 2024 regular season, though he's now riding a 10-game hitting streak. During that span, Vientos is batting .395 with six big flies, four doubles and 17 RBI over his last 38 at-bats.

Homers again in loss Vientos went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Vientos followed up Saturday's two-homer game with a two-run blast in the second inning to give the Mets a 2-0 lead. The 25-year-old is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak that's produced five home runs, two doubles and 11 RBI. For the year, he's slashing .238/.284/.412 with 12 long balls, 43 RBI and 31 runs scored across 349 plate appearances.

AUGUST 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Continues surge with two homers Vientos went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 9-2 win over Atlanta.

Impact The 25-year-old slugger had arguably his best game of the season on Saturday, going deep in the seventh and the ninth inning, giving him 11 homers and his first three-hit game of the year. Vientos has been swinging a hot bat over his last six games, going 9-for-24 (.375) with four homers and nine RBI in that span. The third baseman is starting to resemble the hitter who tallied 27 home runs across 111 games just a year ago.

AUGUST 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hits another home run Vientos went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact Vientos has now gone yard in back-to-back starts after tagging Jake Irvin for a two-run shot as part of a five-run third inning. In his last 18 games, Vientos is 18-for-65 (.277) with three home runs, four doubles and 14 RBI. He's logged a hit in 15 of those 18 contests.

AUGUST 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Clubs homer Sunday Vientos went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Mariners in the Little League Classic.

Impact Vientos supplied a sacrifice fly in the second inning and then took one out in the fifth. It was Vientos' first homer since July 28. The third baseman has started two of the last three games for the Mets after sitting out four straight contests amid a slump. He's struggled this year, slashing .232/.276/.372 with eight homers, 36 RBI, 26 runs scored, 14 doubles and two triples over 84 contests. Vientos will continue to compete with Ronny Mauricio and Brett Baty for time at the hot corner.
