Mark Vientos Injury: Rehab assignment on deck

Vientos (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse early next week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Vientos landed on the injured list June 3 due to a right hamstring strain, but he's been progressing quicker than initially expected and is now close to returning to game action. The Mets haven't specified how long they plan on keeping the 25-year-old infielder on his rehab assignment, though a return to Queens before the end of the month seems likely.
