Overview

• Mark Vientos appeared in a minor-league rehab game on June 22 and is on the brink of rejoining the big-league club after a right hamstring strain.
• Luisangel Acuña was sent down following a slump that saw him hit just .154/.191/.154 over his last 65 at-bats this season.
• Left-handed reliever Dicky Lovelady signed a one-year deal and former Met Travis Jankowski had his contract selected to bolster the roster.
• The Mets also optioned right-handed pitcher Tyler Zuber and sent catcher Francisco Alvarez to Triple-A Syracuse in the roster overhaul.
• Manager Carlos Mendoza faces a crowded infield logjam with Ronny Mauricio and Brett Baty vying for roles until Vientos regains full strength.
