Mark Vientos Placed on 10-Day IL with Fractured Right Hand

Mark Vientos has been placed on the 10-day injured list after suffering a fractured right hand. The injury occurred when he was hit by a pitch during Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Mets interim manager Andy Green confirmed the diagnosis, which forces a defensive shuffle for the team, including moving A.J. Ewing to second base to cover the vacancy. The injury may impact the team's trade deadline strategy as they navigate this roster loss.
