My guess is mid-may is about as far as they'll wait. He has options. They don't lose anything by sending him down.
Vientos' glove is a concern, so a trade is also an option but whether trade or Vientos, I think Baty has 6 weeks, maybe 7.
How about Acuna to 2B and McNeil to 3B?

Vientos glove is a huge concern but he is the best option at this point. I need to be patient with Baty too because he hasn't really had a full season. I do believe the Mets need to give him a full season good or bad. This is the year to do it.

I don't mean to disagree, but "best option for what?" Batty hits the ball hard, he just hits it into the ground too much. Vientos strikes out more. They're both question marks, but also, both potentially good players. I don't know which player will end up the better hitter. Too hard to project right now.
Mauricio looked like perhaps the best option for 3rd base before his injury, but like Vientos, he K's too much and his bat needs work, though the exit velocity is legit. Best fielder at 3rd of the bunch too.
Jacob Reimer is 2 years away, but one to watch if they haven't solved 3rd base by then, and there's always trade or free agency.
I'm skeptical about all 4 of their 3rd base prospects, but I'd love to be wrong.

Yohan Ramirez 3 game suspension was reduced to 2 games. I don't know if that has to do with the rainout or sympathy for the 0-4 mets, or Rhys Hoskin's bench clearing slide and understandable retaliation, but one less game, smaller fine. Nice little change.

More Mets news. I hope he doesn't jump ahead of Butto or Luchessi for now.

LOL. He's 33. He pitched his first game in MLB at 20. Was a top 5 prospect at the time.

That's just what it says on his paperwork from central America. You always have to add another 5 years to what their stated age is.
Seriously, how many years has he pitched in MLB? I think he was up at a very young age. Do you think he's got anything left? It just feels like a desperation move.
Anyhow, the last decent season he had was in 2019.
