Vientos Injury Rocks Mets Roster | New York Mets News

Mark Vientos’ Mets career hit another snag as he was hit by a fastball, forcing him out of the game and raising concerns about a potential hand injury. Already struggling at the plate with a .211 average and losing playing time, this setback threatens to derail his season. The Mets scrambled, moving Brett Baty to third and sending A.J. Ewing — a center fielder — to second base for the first time in the majors. If Vientos is sidelined long, Ronny Mauricio could be called up from the minors to fill the void. The Mets’ roster is in flux, and fans are waiting for medical updates. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
