Mark Vientos News: Playing time slipping

Vientos is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

Vientos might be slipping into a short-side platoon, as this is the second straight game and the fourth time over the last seven contests against a righty that he's been absent from the lineup. Jared Young is at designated hitter and Brett Baty is at third base for the Mets in Monday's series opener.
