Mark Vientos's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos went yard in Wednesday night's loss to the division-rival Washington Nationals, smashing his 11th home run of the season. Vientos crushed a two-run homer in the fourth inning to give the Mets a temporary 3-0 lead, tagging Nationals left-hander Mitchell Parker for the blast. In 145 at-bats this year, the 24-year-old hard-hitting infielder is batting .297 with 11 long balls and 29 RBI alongside a .931 OPS. Vientos has solidified himself as New York's everyday player at the hot corner going forward, and he should be rostered in all fantasy leagues until further notice.

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos stayed hot at the plate in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Yankees. Vientos went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs and a strikeout. Vientos hit the first of four HR off of Gerrit Cole in the second inning and added another one in the fourth inning. The 24-year-old has put together a solid offensive season, slashing .297/.349/.576 with nine HR, 21 runs scored, and 20 RBI in 129 plate appearances. Vientos' biggest skill is his power, so he should continue to be a fantasy contributor if he can provide that along with a serviceable batting average.

New York Mets outfielder Harrison Bader and third baseman Mark Vientos are both out of the lineup on Saturday at Wrigley Field against the hosting Chicago Cubs. Brandon Nimmo is manning center field and batting second, with DJ Stewart drawing into the lineup in left field and batting fifth against Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon. Veteran infielder Jose Iglesias is starting at third base and occupying the nine-hole in the lineup. Bader could use the rest after going hitless in nine at-bats with four strikeouts in his last three games to drop his season line to .262/.308/.374 with four homers, 27 RBI and nine stolen bases. Vientos is also struggling of late at the plate, going hitless in nine at-bats with three strikeouts in his last two games played.
