What happened: New York Mets first baseman Mark Vientos suffered a broken right hand and was placed on the injured list. The development is expected to pull him off the trade market.

Why it matters: The injury eliminates a potential asset for a front office evaluating deadline options. New York loses a starting infielder while navigating a difficult season.

By the numbers: The Mets hold a 40-54 record this season, scoring 4.2 runs per game while allowing 4.8.

What to watch: New York will adjust its infield depth and deadline strategy as Vientos begins his recovery.
