The New York Mets aren't going to have a key cog in the middle of the lineup for the foreseeable future.
On Thursday, Mets slugger Mark Vientos was hit by a pitch on his hand and suffered a bone fracture, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.
"News: Mark Vientos suffered a bone fracture on that HBP. The Mets aren't offering more details at the moment, but he's obviously going to miss weeks," DiComo wrote.
Simply put, this is a brutal blow. Vientos is landing on the Injured List.
