Appears to hurt hamstring Vientos looked to injure his right hamstring during the 10th inning of Monday's game against the Dodgers, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Vientos didn't make it far out of the batter's box on a groundout in the top half of the 10th, and he was seen grabbing his right hamstring as he walked gingerly to the dugout. He was manning the DH spot, so he didn't need to play the field in the bottom half of the inning, but it looked as though the Mets would've removed him if the game had continued beyond the 10th frame. Vientos is presumably headed for further testing to determine the extent of the injury.

He didn't start but pinch hit for designated hitter Jared Young, so Vientos didn't need to play the field in the bottom half of the inning. Vientos is presumably headed for further testing as the Mets look to determine the extent of the injury.

Playing time slipping Vientos is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Vientos might be slipping into a short-side platoon, as this is the second straight game and the fourth time over the last seven contests against a righty that he's been absent from the lineup. Jared Young is at designated hitter and Brett Baty is at third base for the Mets in Monday's series opener.

Day off Saturday Vientos isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Swats three-run homer Vientos went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run during Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Vientos took Sean Smith yard in the second inning, plating Brandon Nimmo and Brett Baty to get the Mets on the board. The long ball was Vientos' sixth of the campaign, and his second of May. Vientos is in the midst of a slump, as he's 5-for-28 with 11 strikeouts over his last 10 games.

Not included in starting nine Vientos is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Vientos was held out of the starting lineup Friday and Saturday due to abdominal soreness before returning Sunday. There has been nothing yet to suggest Monday's absence is directly related to the abdominal issue, though the team is likely being cautious coming off the injury. Recent call-up Jared Young is starting at DH with Brett Baty at third against right-hander Adrian Houser.

MAY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Sunday Vientos (abdomen) is starting at third base and batting second Sunday against the Dodgers.

Impact Vientos didn't start the first two games of the series due to abdominal soreness, but he'll rejoin the starting nine for Sunday's series finale versus Los Angeles. The 25-year-old has a .266/.324/.344 slash line with one homer, three RBI and seven runs through 20 games in May.

MAY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Saturday Vientos (abdomen) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Dodgers.

Impact Abdominal soreness prevented Vientos from getting into Friday's contest, and he'll sit out again Saturday while he continues to recover. Brett Baty will start at third base in his absence, and Jared Young will serve as the DH.

MAY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched from lineup Vientos was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact It's unclear why Vientos was pulled from the starting nine, but the Mets should provide some more details shortly. In the meantime, Brett Baty will shift over to third base while Luisangel Acuna fills in at the keystone and bats eighth.

MAY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slugs fifth homer Vientos went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Impact Getting the start at third base against Matthew Boyd, Vientos took the southpaw deep for a solo shot in the sixth inning. Brett Baty has started the last three games at the hot corner against right-handed pitching, but Vientos should see more action at DH in those matchups if he keeps hitting. Since returning from a minor groin injury April 22, the 25-year-old is slashing .313/.366/.500 over his last 17 games with three of his five homers and 11 of his 17 RBI on the year.

MAY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Vientos is slashing .220/.301/.370 with four home runs, 15 RBI, 16 runs scored and a 15:30 BB:K on the season.

MAY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Mets' lineup Vientos is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Arizona.

MAY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

On bench for Game 1 Vientos is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Vientos started the previous 10 games at the hot corner and will sit for Sunday's matinee after posting an .814 OPS during that span. Luisangel Acuna will receive a look at third base while Jeff McNeil mans the keystone and Jose Azocar starts in center field.

MAY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slugs fourth homer Vientos went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact The third baseman took Corbin Burnes deep in the third inning. Vientos caught fire in the second half of April -- all four of his homers on the season have come in his last 11 games, a stretch in which he's slashing .310/.362/.667 with nine runs and 11 RBI.

MAY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Stays hot in Monday's rout Vientos went 2-for-4 with two walks, a three-run home run and three additional runs scored in Monday's 19-5 rout of the Nationals.

Impact Hitting ahead of Brandon Nimmo -- who tied a Mets record with nine RBI on the day -- paid dividends for Vientos, but the third baseman also capped the team's offensive eruption in the ninth inning with his third homer of the season. Vientos has hit safely in six straight games and 12 of his last 13, slashing .320/.364/.600 over that stretch with all three of his long balls, 11 runs and 13 RBI.

APRIL 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact The 25-year-old third baseman had a slow start to the season, but Vientos is heating up rapidly. He's hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, batting .289 (11-for-38) during that stretch with six extra-base hits (three doubles, a triple and two homers), seven runs and nine RBI.

APRIL 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Tuesday Vientos (groin) is starting at third base and batting cleanup Tuesday against the Phillies.

Impact Vientos sat out the past two contests after exiting Saturday's game due to groin discomfort, but he's ready to rejoin the starting nine for Tuesday's matchup with Philadelphia. The 25-year-old went 0-for-2 during Saturday's contest, which broke a modest six-game hit streak during which he had an .945 OPS.

APRIL 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains idle Monday Vientos (groin) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Vientos was forced to leave Saturday's game against the Cardinals and will miss a second straight start. With Vientos still idle, Brett Baty will make the start at third base and bat eighth against Aaron Nola.

APRIL 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday due to injury Vientos (groin) told reporters after Saturday's 3-0 win over the Cardinals that he will be out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News...

Impact Vientos was replaced by Brett Baty in the fifth inning with groin discomfort, and the former believed that was due to cramping from dehydration. Vientos didn't seem too concerned about the injury, but he would be sent for imaging if he's still sore in the morning. Baty figures to draw the start at third base in Vientos' absence.

APRIL 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Exits game with groin injury Vientos was removed in the fifth inning of Saturday's game against the Cardinals due to groin discomfort, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Vientos went 0-for-2 before being replaced by Brett Baty in the fifth frame. The severity of Vientos' injury isn't clear, but he'll undergo more testing and an update should be made by the team during or shortly after the conclusion of Saturday's contest.

APRIL 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Homers again Friday Vientos went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Cardinals.

Impact The 25-year-old appears to be shaking off his early-season slump. Vientos has hit safely in six straight games and homered in the last two, batting .292 (7-for-24) over that stretch with two doubles, two homers, five runs and five RBI.

APRIL 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Goes yard for first time in 2025 Vientos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.

Impact It was a much-needed first homer of the year for Vientos, who took Cardinals right-hander Andre Pallante yard to open the scoring Thursday in the second inning. Vientos is slashing a dismal .152/.253/.258 with four doubles, five RBI and six runs scored through 66 at-bats (18 games), but fantasy managers should try to stay patient with the slugging corner infielder. As long as Vientos is hitting in the heart of New York's star-studded lineup, he should see plenty of RBI opportunities going forward.

APRIL 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Taking seat amid struggles Vientos is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Impact Vientos will get his first day off of the season after struggling to a .145/.254/.210 batting line while failing to hit a home run through 71 plate appearances. Brett Baty will get the nod at third base Wednesday, but he's mustered a lowly .361 OPS so far this season and likely doesn't present a major threat to Vientos' standing atop the depth chart.

APRIL 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Early-season struggles continue Vientos went 0-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in Friday's win over the A's.

Impact After a breakout 2024, Vientos has stumbled out of the gates this season with a .109/.241/.152 slash line, zero homers and only one RBI through his first 54 plate appearances. The 25-year-old is showing signs of finding his timing at the plate, however -- he's reached base nine times in the last six games with six walks and three hits, although all three knocks have been singles.
