Vientos scratched from Mets’ lineup with abdominal soreness. Nimmo exits due to stiff neck

Third baseman Mark Vientos was scratched from the New York Mets' lineup Friday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers because of abdominal soreness, and left fielder Brandon Nimmo exited the game with a stiff neck. Nimmo banged into the outfield wall with his right shoulder while catching Will Smith's long drive leading off the second inning. Following a 98-minute rain delay in the top of the third, he was replaced by Jeff McNeil in left.
