Vientos Leaves Mets Game vs. Royals After HBP on Right Hand
Mark Vientos was hit by a 92 mph fastball and left after fracturing a bone in his right hand, forcing the Mets to reshuffle their lineup.
- On Thursday, New York Mets first baseman Mark Vientos was placed on the injured list after fracturing a bone in his right hand, manager Andy Green confirmed following the team's 7-3 win over the Kansas City Royals.
- Vientos, making a rare start at third base, was hit by a 92 mph fastball from Kansas City Royals pitcher Michael Wacha during the second inning at Citi Field.
- The 26-year-old has struggled this season, batting.211 with 11 home runs and 35 RBI, unable to regain the brilliance that produced 27 home runs in 2024.
- Manager Green shuffled the lineup following the injury, moving Brett Baty to third base, rookie AJ Ewing to second, and inserting Tyrone Taylor, who hit a game-tying home run.
- Immediately removed from the contest, Vientos staggered and fell after the pitch struck his hand, adding another difficult hurdle to an already challenging season.
