Vientos went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's loss to the Giants.

The 24-year-old continues to stake a claim to the starting job at third base ahead of Brett Baty. Since getting called back up to the majors May 15, Vientos has gone 8-for-25 (.320) with six extra-base hits, including two of his three big-league homers this season, and a 4:6 BB:K.

Martinez went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Giants.

The veteran DH also struck out three times, as he continues to lock in his timing at the plate following a delayed start to the season. Through 25 games as a Met, Martinez is slashing .289/.326/.456 with three homers and 10 RBI. The home run was Martinez's third from May 11 through Friday.

Garcia (hamstring) is taking part in full baseball activities and will be evaluated for a return to game action in the next few days, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The outfielder last appeared in a game April 27, so he could need an extended rehab assignment before being activated from the IL. Garcia was slashing a meager .240/.255/.380 over 51 plate appearances when he landed on the shelf, and the 32-year-old's hamstring issues have become chronic -- he's spent time on the injured list due to a left hamstring strain in each of the last three seasons.

Hoeing felt mild tightness in his hamstring after a two-inning rehab appearance Tuesday, and he's been working on strengthening exercises since, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander originally appeared on track to rejoin the Marlins bullpen as soon as this weekend, but that plan is out the window. Hoeing likely won't need too much time to ramp up once he's deemed ready to resume his rehab assignment, but the team will be cautious with him rather than risk aggravating the injury. He had been one of Miami's most effective relievers prior to landing on the shelf in early May, posting a 1.83 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB through 19.2 innings.

Cabrera (shoulder) has yet to resume throwing after a May 17 bullpen session, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The Marlins elected to shut Cabrera down after the session, and the club is still trying to figure out the best plan for the right-hander to begin ramping up again. He received an injection in his shoulder May 8, but his stop-start progress since then isn't encouraging. It seems unlikely Cabrera will be back in the big-league rotation before late June.

Atlanta recalled Herget from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Herget was acquired from the Angels on May 2, and he has since allowed three earned runs across seven innings with Gwinnett. He will now come up to give Atlanta a fresh bullpen arm, replacing Darius Vines, who was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Alonso went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Giants.

Another bullpen meltdown wasted a big night from the Mets' offense, as Alonso's seventh-inning solo shot off Nick Avila was New York's third homer of the game. The first baseman extended his hitting streak to nine games, and over the last 15 contests Alonso is slashing .313/.362/.609 with four of his 12 homers on the season and 10 of his 26 RBI.

Scott came away with a no-decision in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Giants, allowing two runs on two hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out four.

Matched up against Kyle Harrison in a battle of premiere rookies, Scott threw only 54 of 94 pitches for strikes but generated plenty of soft contact aside from a second-inning solo shot by Jorge Soler. It was the third quality start in four outings for the right-hander since his promotion, and Scott will take a 3.97 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB through 22.2 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Dodgers.

Bailey went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a stolen base in Friday's 8-7 win over the Mets.

The 24-year-old backstop took Reed Garrett deep in the eighth inning to put the Giants ahead 7-6 and help them make history, as they became only the fourth team since 1900 to win three straight games in which it had been trailing in by four or more runs. Bailey has gone 5-for-11 in four games since returning from a concussion, and on the season he's slashing .301/.352/.495 with four homers, two steals, 13 runs and 16 RBI in 30 contests.

Doval gave up a run on two hits and a walk while striking out one in the ninth inning Friday to record his ninth save of the season in an 8-7 win over the Mets.

The Giants scored six of their runs in the eighth and ninth innings to create the save chance, but Doval very nearly squandered it following a leadoff double by pinch hitter DJ Stewart and a fielding error by Marco Luciano. It was the first earned run the right-hander has allowed since May 8 at Coors Field, and on the season Doval carries a 3.05 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 27:15 K:BB through 20.2 innings while converting nine of 10 save opportunities.
