The Mets have been off to a rough start this season, currently sitting in fourth place in the National League East with a 20-23 record.
With the Mets facing a left-handed pitcher on Wednesday night in Josh Fleming of the Tampa Bay Rays, we could see Vientos slot into the lineup immediately.
With their recent struggles, the team is looking to inject some offensive firepower, as they rank 10th in runs scored, ninth in home runs, and have endured a 56-inning homer drought. The arrival of Mark Vientos is hoped to provide a significant boost to the team's production at the plate.
The New York Mets are calling up slugger Mark Vientos, sources tell ESPN. Vientos, 23, is hitting .333/.416/.688 with 13 home runs in 38 games at AAA this season, and as the Mets look to escape this dreadful start, they’ll turn to Vientos as part of the solution.

While Vientos had a modest performance during his previous call-up in September, the Mets are confident in his potential to make a meaningful impact in the major leagues.
The Mets are optimistic that his arrival will bring a much-needed energy boost to their struggling offense, aiming to improve their rankings in runs scored and home runs.
