Mark Vientos Serving As DH Against Blue Jays
11 months agoNew York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos is serving as the club's designated hitter and is batting seventh on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Chris Bassitt. Vientos will be playing in just his 27th major-league game after debuting for the Mets in 2022. In 10 games so far in 2023, Vientos has gone just 5-for-26 (.192) with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in 28 plate appearances. The 23-year-old has mostly been seeing at-bats against left-handed pitching this year, but New York is going to give him a try against a right-hander on Friday. Against right-handers in 2023, Vientos has just 15 at-bats and has three hits (one homer) and three RBI.
