In a subsequent move, the Mets promoted top prospect Ronny Mauricio, who will take over Vientos’ spot for now and wear the No. 10 uniform, according to Phillip Martinez of SNY.

Vientos sustained a hamstring injury during Monday’s 4-3 victory over the reigning World Series champions at Dodger Stadium, as he was tripped while trying to reach first base. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza shared his thoughts on Vientos’ injury following the series-opening win by his team.

“Yeah, I was just there in the training room, he’s getting looked at by the trainers, it’s the hamstring obviously,” Mendoza said (h/t Collin Martin of SNY). “Didn’t look good. Like I said, he’s going through all the testing so we’ll wait and see.”

“He’s a good player,” Mendoza shared. “He’s very talented. We know there’s skills there. But we have to be patient with him. Yeah, he had some really good results. It was a long process for him. We really took the time. We thought we were going to give him some opportunities in spring training and that didn’t happen. The whole progression and all that.

Before suffering the lower-body injury, Vientos was hitting .230/.298/.380 and recorded a total of six home ruins and 21 RBIs through 53 games in the 2025 MLB regular season — his fourth with the Mets.
