After pursuing a pro career as a young boy, Viñas initially ceased his professional aspirations during his teenage years and began delivering meat to make a living. In 2017, he returned to the sport, beginning his career withJuventud in his nativeUruguay.[3]

On 30 May 2020, it was announced that America had exercised their $1.9 million option to sign Viñas on a five-year contract, with the loan move becoming permanent on 1 July.[7] After falling out of favor with the team during the2022–23 season, making just four league starts over the course of the campaign, Viñas began attracting interest from clubs across the country.[8]
In June 2023, Viñas completed a $2 million move toClub León, signing a four-year deal.[9] He enjoyed a resurgent season with his new club, scoring 16 goals in 33 league appearances, becoming joint-top scorer in the2024 Clausura tournament, and earning the league's Player of the Month award for November 2023.[10][11]
