Vientos Out Six to Eight Weeks | New York Mets News

Mets’ rising star Mark Vientos is sidelined for six to eight weeks after fracturing his hand in a pitch, avoiding surgery — a major relief. His absence cuts short his promising first half and impacts his second, with a return likely in late August or mid-September. A key piece of the Mets’ long-term puzzle since 2017, Vientos was hitting 11 homers and driving in 35 runs before the injury. The team is filling the void with Zack Short while assessing their roster during a critical stretch. Recovery is the priority — and the Mets are hopeful he’ll return stronger than ever.
