Mark Vientos

Fractured right hand after taking a Michael Wacha fastball in the second inning July 9. Expected to miss 6–8 weeks, pushing his earliest return to late August. The injury reshapes the Mets' trade deadline approach — they'll need to address the corner infield via trade.

Right hand fracture from a Michael Wacha 92-mph fastball in the Mets' July 9 win over Kansas City. Medical staff has flagged a possible hamate fracture that could require surgery with a 4-6 week post-op recovery — worst case puts him back in September. Was batting .211 with 11 HR and 35 RBI across 73 games.
