Mark Vientos Could Return Monday
Mark Vientos (hamstring) will continue to rehab his injured right hamstring with Triple-A Syracuse this weekend, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. If he gets through Sunday unscathed, he could rejoin the Mets on Monday. The club has gone almost three weeks without Vientos, who landed on the 10-day IL on June 3 with a low-grade strain. Brett Baty and Ronny Mauricio have manned the hot corner in Vientos' absence. However, both Baty and Mauricio have posted horrific production this month. Vientos looked like a breakout slugger during a 27-homer campaign a year ago, but he endured struggles of his own before going on the shelf. The 25-year-old has hit an uninspiring .230/.298/.380 with six HRs and 21 RBI in 208 plate appearances this season.
