Mark Vientos' groin tightness forced his exit from Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, raising concerns about the New York Mets' lineup stability. Replacing him in the fifth inning, Brett Baty stepped up as Vientos struggled offensively, recording no hits in two at-bats, which dropped his batting average to .167. Despite this setback, Vientos had shown promising power in recent games, hitting home runs in his previous two outings. His health will be critical for the Mets as they depend on his performance in the cleanup spot.
