New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos got the scoring going for the Mets in Friday's 6-4 win over the Reds with a two-run home run in the first inning, then finished it off with a two-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning. It was part of a 3-for-5 day at the plate, giving him four multi-hit games in his last five and eight of his last 13. The former second-round draft pick has gone into full breakout mode in 2024 since he arrived for good in May, slashing .289/.342/.563 with 20 doubles, 24 home runs, and 62 RBI in just 91 games. Despite being a zero in the stolen base department, he's greatly increased his fantasy stock for 2025.
New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez, third baseman Mark Vientos and outfielder Harrison Bader are all retreating to the bench for Thursday's series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Luis Torrens is doing the catching and batting ninth, Jose Iglesias is at the hot corner and hitting seventh, and Brandon Nimmo is in center field and batting third against D-backs right-hander Ryne Nelson. Nimmo is obviously the most attractive DFS play of the trio in the three-hole and he has two hits in four career at-bats against Nelson. Alvarez has hits in both of his last two games, but he could use a break after going just 2-for-24 with 10 strikeouts in his last eight games since Aug. 20. Vientos has taken advantage of Brett Baty's continued disappointment to post his first 20-homer season in 2024. Bader will get some rest despite homering in each of the last two games.
New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos went yard twice on Thursday, but it wasn't enough for a win in the loss to the visiting Oakland Athletics at Citi Field. Vientos extended the Mets' lead to 3-0 with a two-run home run off A's right-hander Mitch Spence to right-center field in the third inning, later giving New York a temporary 6-4 lead with a solo homer in the fourth frame on Thursday against Oakland. The 24-year-old hard-hitting corner infielder has blossomed into a massive power threat in Queens during 2024, slashing a robust .275/.333/.557 with 19 home runs, 17 doubles, and 48 RBI through 262 at-bats.
New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos (ankle) is back at third base and is batting seventh for the Mets on Wednesday at Citi Field against the visiting Oakland Athletics and right-hander Joey Estes. Vientos is returning to the starting lineup after missing the last two games due to soreness in his left ankle. Due to the ongoing struggles of young third baseman Brett Baty, the 24-year-old Vientos has taken advantage and become the Mets' primary starter at the hot corner in 2024. He's hitting a career-best .272 (69-for-254) and has also already set career-highs with 17 long balls, 44 RBI and 35 runs scored in 71 games played in his third year in the majors. Vientos is useful for his power stroke as a corner-infield option in deep mixed leagues, but he's been cold in August, going 5-for-30 (.167) with a homer, two doubles, two RBI and six strikeouts in eight games.
New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos (ankle) is dealing with a sore left ankle and is not in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Oakland Athletics. Veteran Jose Iglesias will take over at the hot corner and will bat seventh against A's right-hander Joe Boyle, who will be making his first big-league start since May. Vientos was scratched from Sunday night's lineup against the Seattle Mariners and will now miss a second straight game despite having Monday off. The 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now. Iglesias has seemingly come out of nowhere to hit over .300 in his short time with the Mets in 2024, but he's slowed down a bit of late, batting .250 (6-for-24) with two doubles and two RBI in seven games in August, and he remains a low-upside DFS sleeper near the bottom of the batting order.
