Vientos (hamstring) said Tuesday that he's back to jogging and hitting, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old landed on the injured list last week with a low-grade hamstring strain and was initially expected to return to baseball work after 10-to-14 days, but it appears he's a bit ahead of schedule in his rehab work. Vientos could be looking at a shorter absence than first anticipated, though at this point he's without an official timeline for his return.

Vientos was diagnosed with a low-grade strain in his right hamstring Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Now that the team has determined the severity of Vientos' injury, the plan is for him to rest and receive treatment for 10-14 days before returning to baseball activities. The 25-year-old had been splitting reps between third base and designated hitter before getting injured, and his absence has allowed Jared Young and Ronny Mauricio to benefit the most from extra playing time.

The Mets placed Vientos on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right hamstring strain, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vientos injured his right hamstring in the top of the 10th inning during Monday's 4-3 victory over the Dodgers. He grounded out, and he was unable to make it out of the batter's box and was seen grabbing his hamstring as he retreated to the dugout. With the 25-year-old heading to the injured list Tuesday, the Mets called up Ronny Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse.

Vientos looked to injure his right hamstring during the 10th inning of Monday's game against the Dodgers, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vientos didn't make it far out of the batter's box on a groundout in the top half of the 10th, and he was seen grabbing his right hamstring as he walked gingerly to the dugout. He was manning the DH spot, so he didn't need to play the field in the bottom half of the inning, but it looked as though the Mets would've removed him if the game had continued beyond the 10th frame. Vientos is presumably headed for further testing to determine the extent of the injury.

Vientos is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Vientos might be slipping into a short-side platoon, as this is the second straight game and the fourth time over the last seven contests against a righty that he's been absent from the lineup. Jared Young is at designated hitter and Brett Baty is at third base for the Mets in Monday's series opener.

Vientos isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Vientos will take a seat Saturday after striking out in all three of his at-bats during Friday's series opener. His absence will allow Jared Young to serve as New York's DH and bat sixth.

Vientos went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run during Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Vientos took Shane Smith yard in the second inning, plating Brandon Nimmo and Brett Baty to get the Mets on the board. The long ball was Vientos' sixth of the campaign, and his second of May. Vientos is still in the midst of a slump, as he's 5-for-28 with 11 strikeouts over his last 10 games.

Vientos is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Vientos was held out of the starting lineup Friday and Saturday due to abdominal soreness before returning Sunday. There has been nothing yet to suggest Monday's absence is directly related to the abdominal issue, though the team is likely being cautious coming off the injury. Recent call-up Jared Young is starting at DH with Brett Baty at third against right-hander Adrian Houser.

Vientos (abdomen) will start at third base and bat second Sunday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Vientos didn't start the first two games of the series due to abdominal soreness, but he'll rejoin the starting nine for Sunday's series finale. The 25-year-old has a .266/.324/.344 slash line with one home run, three RBI and seven runs through 20 games in May.

Vientos (abdomen) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Abdominal soreness prevented Vientos from getting into Friday's contest, and he'll sit out again Saturday while he continues to recover. Brett Baty will start at third base in his absence, and Jared Young will serve as the DH.
