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.

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.

Not in lineup Friday Vientos isn't in the starting lineup Friday versus San Francisco.

Impact Vientos isn't starting for the first time in the campaign's second half. Since the All-Star break, he's logged starts at DH, third base and first base and has batted .238 over six games. With Vientos out of the lineup, Jeff McNeil is starting at designated hitter, while Ronny Mauricio is getting the nod at the hot corner.

Drives in three in Friday's win Vientos went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Friday's win over the Royals.

Impact With the Mets down 3-2 in the top of the eighth inning, Vientos stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and cleared them with a double to right-center field, putting New York into the lead for good. The 25-year-old has struggled to recapture his 2024 form, slashing a weak .217/.275/.350 through 64 games this season with six homers and 24 RBI, but Vientos has recorded multiple hits in two of the last three games and has a clear path to at-bats at DH in the short term due to both Jesse Winker (back) and Starling Marte (knee) currently being on the IL.

Sitting again versus right-hander Vientos is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Baltimore.

Impact The Orioles are starting right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano, marking the fourth straight game in which Vientos is absent from the lineup while the Mets face a righty. He's gone just 2-for-27 with a 0:9 BB:K since coming off the injured list June 27 and looks to have moved into a short-side platoon role. Ronny Mauricio will start at third base and bat seventh Wednesday.

JULY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Game 2 Vientos is not in the Mets' starting lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

Impact Vientos will take a seat after going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader. Francisco Lindor will serve as the designated hitter while Ronny Mauricio starts at shortstop.

Strikes out twice in return Vientos went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Friday's loss to the Pirates.

Impact Activated from the IL earlier in the day and seeing his first big-league action since June 2, Vientos got the start at DH and hit sixth but couldn't make a contribution at the plate. The 25-year-old has had a tough year even aside from the hamstring strain that cost him nearly a month of action, slashing .225/.292/.372 through 54 contests with six homers and 21 RBI. If he continues to struggle to regain his 2024 form, the Mets could begin to phase Vientos out of the 3B/DH mix.

Officially activated from IL The Mets activated Vientos (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Impact Vientos is in the lineup fro Friday's series opener in Pittsburgh, batting sixth against Pirates right-hander Mitch Keller.

Returning Friday Vientos (hamstring) said Thursday that he will be reinstated from the injured list Friday for the start of the Mets' series against Pittsburgh, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Vientos rejoined the team in New York on Thursday after playing seven rehab games at Triple-A Syracuse, during which he went 5-for-28 with six RBI and four runs scored. He'll receive an extra day off to rest before rejoining the active roster, at which point he'll likely take over as the Mets' primary DH while making an occasional start in the infield.

JUNE 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could be activated Thursday Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that Vientos (hamstring) could be activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Vientos will rejoin the Mets on Thursday ahead of their series finale versus Atlanta. The team might activate him prior to the contest, or it could wait until Friday to activate Vientos after the infielder played rehab games with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday and Wednesday. Vientos has been sidelined since early June with a right hamstring strain.

JUNE 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will play more rehab games Vientos (hamstring) will remain on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse through at least Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Mets had left open the possibility of Vientos rejoining them for their four-game series against Atlanta that begins Monday, but it now appears likely that the earliest he will return is Friday in Pittsburgh for the start of a road trip. Vientos has missed most of June with a right hamstring strain and has gone 2-for-17 with a double and 3:0 K:BB in four rehab games with Syracuse.

JUNE 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing return Vientos (hamstring) will continue his rehab assignment this weekend and could return as soon as Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Vientos started a rehab assignment Tuesday but has appeared in just one game, going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. If all goes well this weekend, Vientos could be back for the start of a three-game set Monday against Atlanta.

Rehab assignment on deck Vientos (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse early next week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Vientos landed on the injured list June 3 with a right hamstring strain, but he's been progressing quicker than initially expected and is now close to returning to a competitive setting. The Mets haven't specified how long they plan on keeping the 25-year-old infielder in the minors, though a return to Queens before the end of the month seems likely.

Doing baseball activities Vientos (hamstring) said Tuesday that he's back to jogging and hitting, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 25-year-old landed on the injured list last week with a low-grade hamstring strain and was initially expected to return to baseball work after 10-to-14 days, but it appears he's a bit ahead of schedule in his rehab work. Vientos could be looking at a shorter absence than first anticipated, though at this point he's without an official timeline for his return.

JUNE 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with low-grade strain Vientos was diagnosed with a low-grade strain in his right hamstring Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Now that the team has determined the severity of Vientos' injury, the plan is for him to rest and receive treatment for 10-14 days before returning to baseball activities. The 25-year-old had been splitting reps between third base and designated hitter before getting injured, and his absence has allowed Jared Young and Ronny Mauricio to benefit the most from extra playing time.
