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

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 • 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 • 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.

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.

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 • 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.

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 likely continue to compete with Ronny Mauricio and Brett Baty for time at the hot corner.

Remains on bench Tuesday Vientos remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Vientos hasn't started three of the Mets' past four contests and appears to be falling into a reserve role, as Brett Baty is starting at third and batting ninth Tuesday while Starling Marte handles DH duties in the sixth spot in the order. Vientos has a .191/.269/.191 slash line across 11 at-bats over the last seven days.

Heading to bench amid poor stretch Vientos is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Vientos will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Mets go with Jeff McNeil at designated hitter, Brett Baty at second base and Ronny Mauricio at third base in the finale. Since swatting a grand slam in the Mets' July 28 loss to the Padres, Vientos has fallen into a bit of a skid at the plate; he's posted a .526 OPS over his last eight contests.

Slugs grand slam in loss Vientos went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in a loss to the Padres on Monday.
Impact It could have actually been a bigger game for Vientos -- he was robbed of a homer by Fernando Tatis in the fourth inning. When Vientos next came to the plate with the bases loaded in the fifth, he ensured Tatis couldn't rob him again, smashing a 385-foot shot to clear the bases. The long ball ended a lengthy power drought for Vientos, whose previous home run had come May 28, a span of 23 games. Vientos now has seven homers over 74 contests this year, well off the pace of the 27 home runs he belted across 111 regular-season games in 2024.

Heading to bench Sunday Vientos is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Impact Vientos went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's win over San Francisco to extend his hit streak to six games, but he's not in the starting nine for Sunday's series finale. Starling Marte will bat sixth as the designated hitter against Giants lefty Matt Gage, who is serving as an opener ahead of righty Carson Seymour.
JULY 27 • ROTOWIRE
Key double in win Vientos went 1-for-3 with a two-RBI double in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Giants.
Impact Vientos made his lone hit count Saturday, delivering a two-run double in the sixth inning that provided all the offense the Mets needed in their 2-1 win. It's been a rocky follow-up to his breakout 2024 campaign, but the third baseman is currently riding a six-game hitting streak and has doubled in back-to-back games. This season, he's slashing .226/.280/.358 with 20 extra-base hits and 27 RBI over 74 games. By comparison, through his first 74 regular-season games last year, Vientos had a .275/.333/.557 line with 36 extra-base hits (17 doubles, 19 homers) and 48 RBI.
