· Yahoo Sports
The Mets have made a couple of moves before Friday's game against the Red Sox.

The biggest news is Mark Vientos officially landing on the IL with what's being called a right hand fracture.
Andy Green said that this was the expected outcomes for Vientos after he left Thursday afternoon's victory in the bottom of the second following a tough HBP on the hand.
It's unclear if Vientos will require surgery, but he will certainly be out for awhile.
In a corresponding roster move, infielder Zack Short has been selected to the major league roster.
Short appeared in three games this season for the Mets, but he was DFA'd following Francisco Lindor's return.
Additionally, the club has DFA'd right-handed pitcher Dan Hammer after being up with them for just one game, and Tobias Myers is back up in the big-leagues after being optioned prior to Thursday's game.
Myers has struggled of late, allowing at least one run in each of his last 10 major league outings.
