Mark Vientos - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sitting again Wednesday Vientos is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Vientos will head to the bench for the second time in the three-game series with Seattle while he's mired in extended slump at the dish. Over his last 12 games, Vientos has slashed .146/.167/.244 while drawing no walks and striking out at a 26.2 percent clip. The Mets will go with Jared Young at first base in place of Vientos on Wednesday.

Not in Monday's lineup Vientos is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Mariners on Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Vientos will get a breather after going 3-for-12 with one home run, three RBI and three runs scored during the Mets' three-game weekend series against the Marlins. Jared Young will start at first base while MJ Melendez serves as the designated hitter for Monday's series opener.

Goes deep against Miami Vientos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Mets' 9-7 extra-inning win over the Marlins on Friday.

Impact Vientos extended the Mets' lead to 5-1 in the third inning after taking Max Meyer deep to left-center field for a solo home run. It was the seventh deep ball of the year for Vientos, five of which have come over his last 24 games since May 3. He is slashing .224/.261/.391 with 24 RBI and 15 extra-base hits over 184 plate appearances this season.

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

Impact Vientos will hit the bench following a stretch of 22 consecutive starts, during which he produced a .227/.253/.420 slash line with four home runs, 15 RBI and nine runs. The Mets reinstated Jared Young (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and will insert him into the starting nine at first base in Vientos' stead.

MAY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Strong May continues Vientos went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Tigers.

Impact The 26-year-old launched a first-pitch cutter from Tyler Holton down the left-field line in the fifth inning, one of five long balls by the Mets on the afternoon. Vientos has been getting a chance to play every day at first base in the absence of Jorge Polanco (Achilles/wrist) and he's found his power stroke as a result. Through 11 games in May, Vientos is slashing .250/.283/.568 with two doubles, four homers and 11 RBI.

MAY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Swats fifth homer in Friday's win Vientos went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Vientos led off the top of the second inning with a solo shot, his fifth of the season, taking Ryne Nelson deep on a slider. He then led off the top of the 10th inning with what proved to be a game-winning RBI double. Vientos has three long balls and eight RBI in six games this month and is slashing .240/.287/.440 with five homers, 16 RBI, 11 runs scored and a 7:24 BB:K across 108 plate appearances this season.

MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Two more RBI in Monday's win Vientos went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's win over the Rockies.

Impact While he didn't have much to show for it, Vientos was scorching the ball all afternoon, and two of his outs left his bat with exit velocities over 100 mph. The 26-year-old is slashing .273/.333/.523 over his last 13 games with two doubles, three homers, five runs and nine RBI as he turns things around after a slow start to the campaign.

MAY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep twice Sunday Vientos went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run homers in Sunday's win over the Angels.

Impact Vientos powered the Mets' offense, getting the club on the board with a two-run blast in the fourth inning before extending the lead in the ninth frame with another two-run shot. It marked the 26-year-old's first multi-homer game of the season and his first long ball since April 18. After a brutal cold spell in the middle of April, Vientos may be starting to heat up, with his OPS up to .737 across 26 contests after entering Sunday's contest at .650.

MAY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Friday Vientos is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Angels on Friday.

Impact Vientos will take a seat for Friday's series opener while Brett Baty draws the start at first base and bats fifth. Vientos has reached base safely in six of his last seven games, and over that span he has gone 6-for-22 (.273) with two RBI and a 4:7 BB:K.

MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Playing regularly at first base Vientos will start at first base and bat cleanup in Thursday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Vientos appeared to fade into a part-time role a couple of weeks ago, but he's re-emerged as a more stable member of the lineup since Jorge Polanco (wrist) was placed on the injured list April 18. He'll claim his ninth start in 11 games Thursday, despite producing a lackluster .231/.333/.346 slash line to go with one home run and two RBI over the prior 10 contests.

APRIL 30 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 15 • 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

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