US EditionVientos scratched from Mets' lineup with abdominal soreness. Nimmo exits due to stiff neck
- The New York Mets scratched Mark Vientos from the lineup and removed Brandon Nimmo from left field during their Friday game at Citi Field against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
- Vientos missed the start due to abdominal soreness announced about 65 minutes before the game, while Nimmo left after hitting the outfield wall chasing a long drive by Will Smith in the second inning.
- Nimmo appeared in just over two innings and made a notable throw from the outfield that retired Dodgers catcher Will Smith, but he left the game due to neck stiffness that started Friday morning and affected his ability to swing effectively.
- At 25 years old, Vientos entered the game with a batting average of.232, having recorded five homers and 18 runs batted in, along with a.674 on-base plus slugging percentage; however, he had difficulty producing with runners in scoring position, managing just six hits in 45 at-bats under those circumstances this season.
- The Mets replaced Nimmo with Jeff McNeil after a 98-minute rain delay in the third inning, while uncertainty remains on Nimmo's Saturday availability and Vientos' fitness going forward.
