Mark Vientos Dealing With Ankle Injury
4 months agoNew York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos (ankle) fouled a ball off his right ankle in the top of the fourth inning in Sunday's series finale in Anaheim against the Los Angeles Angels, which is why he did not play on Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Manager Carlos Mendoza said Vientos was scheduled to go through his regular pregame routine in St. Louis but that he was being held out of the starting lineup. "Kind of [swelled] up after the game, but he's better today," Mendoza said. "He's a player for us, but I just wanted to give him a day." The Mets basically just wanted to give the 24-year-old a day off on Monday, so there's a good chance he'll be back in action on Tuesday versus the Colorado Rockies at hitter-friendly Coors Field.
