Mark Vientos is progressing well in his recovery from a right hamstring strain. Originally expected to be sidelined for 10-14 days, he has begun baseball activities just a week after the injury. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza noted that Vientos is running, hitting, and taking ground balls, showing a quick recovery. The Mets want him to complete a rehab assignment before activating him from the injured list, as they currently adjust their lineup with Ronny Mauricio at third base. Meanwhile, Jeff McNeil is enjoying a strong offensive stretch, hitting .302 with notable power in recent games. The Mets are set to navigate these roster dynamics as Vientos nears his return.
