Mark Vientos News: Heading to bench amid poor stretch

Vientos is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Vientos will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Mets go with Jeff McNeil at designated hitter, Brett Baty at second base and Ronny Mauricio at third base. Since swatting a grand slam July 28, Vientos has fallen into a skid at the plate, posting a .526 OPS over his last eight contests.
