The Mets promoted Vientos from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Vientos' only particularly notable tool is his power, but he's shown enough of that to be one of the Mets' top prospects. In 72 games for Binghamton this season, he's hit .281/.346/.580 with 22 homers. His 28.4 percent strikeout rate is potentially cause for concern, as striking out that much at that level could indicate that he'll whiff an untenable amount by the time he gets to the big leagues. However, he won't turn 22 until December, so he is well ahead of schedule.

Belt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-4 triumph against the Dodgers on Sunday.

Belt opened the game's scoring with a 420-foot long ball off Los Angeles starter Walker Buehler in the first inning, though he failed to be productive in his other at-bats. It was the lefty's fourth home run in his last 10 games as he continues to build on a new career high while posting his highest slugging of any full season at .535.

Vogelbach hit a walkoff grand slam in Sunday's 6-5 win over St. Louis.

Vogelbach stepped in as a pinch-hitter with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and crushed a walkoff homer off Alex Reyes, his eighth long ball of the year. It was his first home run since June 22 after a lengthy stint on the injured list. The lefty slugger is slashing .220/.324/.401 with 20 RBI and 16 extra-base hits this season.

Blackmon is out of the lineup Sunday against Atlanta.

Blackmon went 2-for-3 with a home run, two total RBI, two total runs and a walk during Saturday's contest against Atlanta, which marks three straight games with a home run. However, he'll receive Sunday off with Raimel Tapia, Garrett Hampson and Sam Hilliard starting from left to right in the outfield.

Pederson is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

Pederson will head to the bench for the third time in the past four games despite the fact Atlanta is facing another right-handed starter (Ryan Feltner) on Sunday. The 29-year-old outfielder is 2-for-25 with a home run, two RBI, three runs and eight strikeouts over his past 12 games and appears to have fallen into a timeshare in Atlanta's outfield. Adam Duvall will shift to center once again, while Eddie Rosario starts in left.

McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Marlins on Saturday.

McCutchen's fourth-inning solo shot accounted for the first run of the game and looked like it would stand up until Miami put up three runs in the eighth frame to snatch the victory. The veteran outfielder has been on a hot streak of late, going 6-for-15 with a pair of homers and eight RBI over his past four games. Though he's long past the days of being a .300 hitter, McCutchen has shown that he still has pop in his bat with 23 long balls on the campaign -- his most since the 2017 season.

Turner went 1-for-3 with two runs, a stolen base, a walk and a strikeout in Saturday's 6-1 triumph over San Francisco.

Turner contributed to a three-run first inning by walking, stealing second and scoring and later singled and scored in the sixth. The theft was only his second all season, though both have come since the beginning of August, and the veteran third baseman has compiled a solid 7-for-19 span at the dish over his past five games.

Dickerson was placed on the injured list with a right hamstring strain Saturday.

Dickerson wasn't likely to start Saturday against lefty Julio Urias, but he'll now be out until at least Sept. 14. Whether or not he'll miss additional time beyond that point is not yet clear. Mauricio Dubon was recalled to take his place on the roster.

Miller is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Miller will head to the bench with a lefty in Trevor Rogers due up for Miami -- no surprise given Miller's platoon splits. He also sat earlier in the week against a righty starter, but Miller still looks like the favorite for starts vs. RHP down the stretch given his experience, which could prove important with the Phillies still in the postseason hunt. Rhys Hoskins (abdomen) is out for the year.

Blackmon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly in a 4-3 victory versus Atlanta on Friday.

The veteran outfielder tied the game with his solo shot in the first inning and gave Colorado its first lead with a sacrifice fly in the third. He has homered in consecutive games for the second time this season, and five of his 12 long balls on the campaign have come in his past 16 contests. Over that span, Blackmon also has 17 RBI and 15 runs scored.
