Vientos (hamstring) will continue his rehab assignment this weekend and could return as soon as Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Brett Baty 3B | NYM
Mets' Brett Baty: Good to go Friday
Baty (groin) is starting at third base and batting eighth Friday against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Baty appeared to be in danger of heading to the injured list due to the groin injury, but he'll end up rejoining the lineup Friday after sitting out a few games. The third baseman has yet to get on track in June, as he's gone 6-for-44 (.136 average) through 14 games.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Hits 350th career homer in win
Arenado went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox, an 8-6 extra-inning win.
Arenado had a nightcap to remember Thursday, hitting his 350th career home run in the third inning and what proved to be a game-winning single in the 10th. Per Casey Drottar of MLB.com, he's now the seventh player ever to reach 350 homers while also winning at least 10 career Gold Gloves. While his season slash line sits at just .247/.310/.397, the 34-year-old has decent counting stats with nine long balls, 38 RBI, 34 runs scored and one steal across 294 plate appearances.

Suarez put the Diamondbacks on the board in the second inning with a two-run homer off Kevin Gausman before extending the Snakes' lead in the third with a two-run double. Thursday marked Suarez's sixth multi-RBI game of the month, and his 62 RBI this season is second most in the majors behind Pete Alonso (63).

Brett Baty 3B | NYM
Mets' Brett Baty: Not starting, may be available
Baty (groin) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta, but he could be available off the bench, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
Ronny Mauricio will pick up a third consecutive start at third base while Baty sits due to a groin injury he suffered Sunday. The Mets were considering placing Baty on the injured list Wednesday, but he arrived at the ballpark Thursday feeling much better and showed improvement during pregame drills. That bodes well for his chances of avoiding a stint on the injured list, but it remains unclear when he'll be cleared to appear in a game again.

Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN
Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Riding pine in nightcap
Hayes isn't in the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers.
After an 0-for-4 performance during a 9-2 loss in Game 1, Hayes will grab a seat on the bench for the back half of Thursday's activities. Jared Triolo will replace him at the hot corner and bat sixth.

Connor Norby 1B | MIA
Marlins' Connor Norby: Ends homer drought
Norby went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.
The third baseman hadn't left the yard since May 24th, stretch of 19 games in which he'd slashed just .174/.230/.217. Norby has a somewhat disappointing four homers, six steals, 20 RBI and 25 runs and .673 OPS in 51 contests, but his 27.6 percent strikeout rate is a step up from last year's 33.0 percent mark.

Matt Chapman 3B | SF
Giants' Matt Chapman: Resumes light baseball activities
Chapman (hand) is expected to continue wearing his splint through the end of the week, but he is now participating in light conditioning and baseball activities, per MLB.com.
Chapman was placed on the injured list June 10 due to sprained ligaments in his right hand. The third baseman saw a hand specialist, and his X-rays came back negative. However, he could still end up being unavailable for at least the rest of June, according to Buster Olney of ESPN. Casey Schmitt is expected to continue starting at third base while Chapman is sidelined.
