Carlos Mendoza's update on Mark Vientos

New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza has provided with a major update on Mark Vientos ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Mendoza mentioned that Vientos is suffering from a low-grade hamstring strain and will be available after two weeks.

We got relatively good news. It’s a low-grade strain, Mendoza said. Going to treat it for the next 10-14 days until he’s symptom-free and then ramp him back up. Good news there.

You never know, guy goes down the way he did. You kinda expect the worst, Mendoza said. Once he went through all the testing, talking to the trainers - You hate to see him go down at any time, the fact that it’s low-grade, it’s good news.

Vientos suffered his injury after making a dash on the base paths after lining a ground ball in extra innings on Monday. He immediately fell on the ground and walked towards the dugout while holding his hamstring.

It is expected that Mark Vientos will be sidelined for 10 days and will only get clearance if there are no symptoms of an injury.

New York Mets call Ronny Mauricio after Mark Vientos' injury

The New York Mets had to call Ronny Mauricio after their third baseman Mark Vientos sustained hamstring injury. Ronny Mauricio was the in the lineup for the Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ronny Mauricio made his MLB debut back in September 2023 but had to undergo knee ligament surgery, which meant that he had to miss the 2024 season. Despite staying away from the field for a long time, Mauricio is excited about his return to the league.

I’m feeling great, Mauricio said on Tuesday. I’m the same person I was before my surgeries. None of us wanted to rush that process. There were some setbacks in my recovery. We just wanted to take it slower to make sure everything was right.

Mauricio went 0-for-4 on Tuesday as the New York Mets fell short at the hands of Los Angeles Dodgers as they lost the match 6-5. He was 0-for-2 on Wednesday with the Mets leading 3-0 after five innings.
