Jun 28 2025Mauricio remained on the 26-man roster after Mark Vientos (hamstring) was activated from the injured list, getting the start at second base Friday against the Pirates and going 1-for-3 with a walk. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old was a candidate to get optioned back to Triple-A Syracuse when Vientos got healthy, but Mauricio's recent performance earned him a reprieve -- he's hit safely in six of his last seven games, going 8-for-24 (.33) with a double and a homer. He also has a 1:8 BB:K during that time, however, and plate discipline remains the biggest obstacle between Mauricio and a true breakout. With Vientos and Brett Baty handling third base and DH reps, the Mets are keeping Mauricio in the lineup at the keystone while Jeff McNeil plays center field, but the roster will get even more crowded when Jesse Winker (oblique) rejoins the team in the next week or two. If Mauricio seems likely to fall into a bench role at that point, a return to Triple-A might be the best route for his development.
Jun 25 2025Mauricio went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mauricio opened the scoring with a solo homer in the third inning while tallying his first career three-hit game. Since making his season debut June 3, he's slashing .224/.274/.414 with three home runs, five RBI, seven runs scored and two steals across 62 plate appearances. The 24-year-old has made 11 of his 16 starts at third base, so he could be at risk of losing playing time with Mark Vientos (hamstring) on track to return from the injured list as early as Thursday.
Jun 22 2025Mauricio will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mauricio will nab his fifth start in six games, though three came while fellow infielder Brett Baty was out with a groin injury, and Sunday's start comes with the lefty-hitting Baty exiting the lineup due to the Phillies sending a lefty (Jesus Luzardo) to the hill. At this point, Mauricio doesn't looked to be locked in as a lineup regular against right-handed pitching when the Mets are at close to full strength, and his playing time could start to trend down once Mark Vientos (hamstring) makes his return from the injured list during the upcoming week.
Jun 15 2025Mauricio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mauricio struck out in two of his four plate appearances, but he made the most of his lone hit with a solo homer to right field in the fifth inning. It was the second long ball and second RBI of the campaign for the young infielder, who has gone 1-for-13 at the plate over his past four games. Mauricio is batting just .188 through 36 plate appearances, but he's getting consistent playing time, starting in seven of the Mets' past eight contests.
Jun 15 2025Mauricio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mauricio struck out in two of his four plate appearances, but he made the most of his lone hit by taking Drew Rasmussen deep to right field in the fifth inning. It was the second long ball and second RBI of the campaign for the young infielder, who has gone 1-for-13 at the plate over his past four games. Mauricio is batting just .188 through 36 plate appearances, but he's getting consistent playing time and has started seven of the Mets' past eight contests.
Jun 12 2025Mauricio is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mauricio will take a seat after he had made starts in each of the last five games -- three at third base, one at shortstop and one at designated hitter -- while going 5-for-16 with a home run, a double, two walks, two stolen bases and three additional runs. Though he doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role at any one position, Mauricio's ability to fit in at three infield spots or at DH will allow the Mets to find him at least semi-regular at-bats so long as he remains productive at the plate.
Jun 8 2025Mauricio went 2-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 13-5 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mauricio contributed offensively throughout the game and has now stolen a base in back-to-back contests. After going 0-for-8 against the Dodgers, the 24-year-old tallied five hits over the weekend at Coors Field. Through five games this season, he's hitting .263 with a solo home run, a double, two steals and four runs scored across 21 plate appearances.
Jun 7 2025Mauricio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mauricio has started four of five games since his call-up from Triple-A Syracuse. Saturday's effort included his first multi-hit game and his first homer of the season, and he also avoided striking out. He's 3-for-16 with one RBI, two runs scored, a homer and a steal so far. He's made three starts at third base and one at shortstop, but the hot corner will be Mauricio's best bet for playing time. He'll compete with Brett Baty there, and Mauricio also offers another switch hitting option at shortstop if Francisco Lindor needs to rest his legs or manage a broken toe that cost him a couple of games earlier this week.
Jun 4 2025Mauricio went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start at third base and batting seventh in his 2025 debut. Mauricio grounded into a double play in the second inning and looked foolish chasing a Clayton Kershaw curveball in the dirt in the fourth, but he's hardly the first hitter to have trouble squaring up the future Hall of Famer. Mauricio could be in line for significant playing time while Mark Vientos (hamstring) is sidelined, platooning with Brett Baty at the hot corner while also seeing action at second base and DH. Mauricio won't match the absurd .515/.564/.818 slash line with three homers and four steals he posted in 39 plate appearances at Triple-A Syracuse, but the 24-year-old has intriguing fantasy upside.
Jun 3 2025The Mets called up Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As expected, Mauricio is getting a promotion as Mark Vientos (hamstring) heads to the 10-day injured list. Mauricio struggled a bit initially after recovering from multiple knee surgeries, as he hit below the Mendoza Line for Single-A St. Lucie and Double-A Binghamton. Following the initial struggles, he has been stellar for Triple-A Syracuse with a 1.382 OPS, three homers and four stolen bases across 39 plate appearances. The infielder is starting at third base for the Mets on Tuesday and is batting seventh, but his role with the big-league club may be limited.
May 31 2025Mauricio is batting .560 (14-for-25) with three homers and three steals through his first seven games for Triple-A Syracuse, but the Mets remain very deliberate in building up his workload, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old infielder has yet to play more than two games in a row without getting a day off with Syracuse, and the Mets are intent on making sure Mauricio stays healthy after he missed the entire 2024 campaign due to knee surgery. "We're most focused on him getting the reps under him, getting the volume, hopefully continuing to swing a really hot bat," president of baseball operations David Stearns said this week. "And then once we get to that point, it gives us something to think about." New York also doesn't have a clear path to consistent at-bats on the big-league roster for Mauricio, and it doesn't intend to call him up just to sit on the bench. "Figuring out exactly what that puzzle looks like is a real part of it," Stearns said. Mauricio still figures to provide the Mets with a boost at some point this summer, but until then he'll continue to torment International League pitching while preparing for an everyday role.
May 22 2025Mauricio went 2-for-2 with two walks, a home run and two RBI for Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, his second straight game with a homer. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In three games since joining Syracuse's roster, Mauricio has gone 7-for-11 with a double, two steals and a 2:1 BB:K in addition to the two long balls. Given that the 24-year-old infielder missed the entire 2024 campaign while recovering from knee surgery, however, the Mets aren't going to rush him to the majors, Will Sammon of the Athletic reports. "Where we are right now is we have a player who is medically healthy, who has checked off a lot of the boxes in the rehab progression, has worked really hard to get there," Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said last week. "And now we're working him back into [being] Ronny Mauricio, the baseball player who was on the verge, seemingly, of really breaking out at the major-league level. And that takes some time as well." New York also doesn't have a clear opening for Mauricio in the big-league lineup, and he has yet to play back-to-back nine-inning games on defense this year. Despite his hot start at Triple-A, a return to the majors isn't likely until some time in June at the earliest.
May 17 2025The Mets reinstated Mauricio (knee) from the injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mauricio missed all of last season while recovering from a torn ACL that required multiple surgeries to repair. With the 20 days on his rehab assignment up, the 24-year-old infielder will report to Syracuse after playing 10 rehab games between Single-A and Double-A, during which he went just 4-for-32 at the plate.
May 12 2025Mauricio (knee) had his rehab assignment moved to Double-A Binghamton on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old infielder played back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday for the first time on his rehab stint, getting the nod at third base in his first contest for the Rumble Ponies before shifting to DH in the second. Mauricio is still trying to find his timing at the plate -- through seven games between Binghamton and Single-A St. Lucie, he's gone just 3-for-21 with a walk and six strikeouts -- but he has plenty of rust to shake off given that he didn't play at all in 2024 while recovering from multiple surgeries on his knee. He's expected to be an option for the Mets over the summer, but with Jeff McNeil healthy and the likes of Brett Baty and Luisangel Acuna making contributions at the big-league level, there's no obvious spot for Mauricio right now on the 26-man roster.
Apr 15 2025Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Mauricio (knee) is scheduled to serve as the designated hitter in an extended spring training game Tuesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mauricio will be participating in his first game action since December 2023, when he suffered a torn ACL in his right knee while playing in the Dominican Winter League. The 24-year-old infielder has faced a longer recovery than initially anticipated, as he required a follow-up procedure July 30, 2024 to remove scar tissue from the knee. He was eased along slowly this spring, but Mauricio is finally ready to test himself in a competitive environment, albeit in a controlled setting and in a non-defensive role. Mauricio could still be multiple weeks away from being ready to play the infield, and the Mets haven't yet offered a concrete timeline for him to be fully cleared.
Mar 28 2025The Mets placed Mauricio (knee) on the 10-day injured list Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mauricio underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee back in January 2024 and had a follow-up arthroscopic procedure in August to remove scar tissue. While he was healthy headed into camp, the 24-year-old infielder is being brought along slowly by the Mets. According to MLB.com, Mauricio is expected to begin a minor-league assignment around mid-April.
Mar 19 2025Mauricio (knee) will remain in St. Lucie for extended spring training when the Mets break camp, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old hasn't had a setback in his recovery from the knee surgery that cost him the entire 2024 campaign, but the organization is being cautious with a player it still considers to be a key piece of the future. Mauricio should eventually work his way up to Triple-A Syracuse once the training staff is confident he's 100 percent, and he could be part of the puzzle at second base for the Mets later this season. Over 26 games in 2023 in his MLB debut, Mauricio posted a .248/.296/.347 slash line, hit two homers while going 7-for-7 on steal attempts, and registered an eye-popping exit velocity of 117.3 mph on his first career hit.
Mar 16 2025Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that Mauricio (knee) will not appear in spring games and will miss the start of the 2025 regular season, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mauricio missed the entire 2024 season after undergoing ACL surgery in December of 2023 before having a cleanup procedure in August. Mendoza said back in February that Mauricio was targeting a mid-March return, but it appears the 23-year-old infielder will start the 2025 season on the injured list.
Feb 11 2025Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Mauricio (knee) isn't expected to play in Grapefruit League games until mid-March, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It effectively rules him out for Opening Day, which isn't a surprise. Mauricio underwent right ACL surgery in December 2023 and then had a cleanup operation on his knee in August, forcing him to miss the entire 2024 campaign. He will be brought along slowly and either begin the season on the injured list or at Triple-A Syracuse.
Feb 7 2025Mauricio seems likely to begin the season at Triple-A Syracuse even if he's fully healthy following last year's knee surgery, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mets have little incentive to rush Mauricio's recovery given that he originally tore his ACL in winter ball after the 2023 season, but then needed a clean-up procedure in August and wound up missing the entire 2024 campaign. The 23-year-old infielder also lost his clearest path to a starting job when New York re-signed Pete Alonso, which will keep Mark Vientos at third base. Mauricio appeared to have mastered Triple-A prior to the injury, slashing .292/.346/.506 for Syracuse over 116 games in 2023 with 23 homers and 24 steals, so assuming he proves he's healthy and has shaken off the rust, he could be pushing for a big-league job very quickly. Second base might be his most likely position with the Mets, as the team heads into spring training with Jeff McNeil still atop the depth chart despite a disappointing 2024 campaign that featured career lows in batting average (.238) and OBP (.308).
Jan 16 2025The Mets are not yet sure whether Mauricio (knee) will be ready for the start of spring training, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mauricio began baseball activities in December as he works his way back from a second right knee surgery. While his rehab seems to be coming along OK, the Mets aren't sure how Mauricio's knee will respond as he continues to ramp things up, so they're taking things day by day with the young infielder. Given his long layoff -- he last played in the Dominican Winter League more than a year ago -- Mauricio is likely to begin the 2025 season in the minors even if he's not limited in spring training.
Dec 9 2024Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said Monday that Mauricio (knee) has begun baseball activities, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mauricio underwent right ACL surgery last December and then had an additional operation on the same knee in August to remove scar tissue. It's been a slow road to recovery for the young infielder, but it appears he's finally ready to start ramping things back up. Whether Mauricio will be 100 percent for spring training is not yet clear.
Oct 23 2024Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said Wednesday at his end-of-season media session that Mauricio's (knee) rehab has gone slower than expected and the 23-year-old has yet to begin baseball activities, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Maurico underwent surgery last December to repair a torn right ACL and then required an additional operation in August to remove scar tissue from the same knee. The Mets had said following the latter surgery that Mauricio was expected to be ready for the start of spring training, but it's unclear whether that might now be in question.
Aug 3 2024Mauricio underwent a cleanup procedure on his right knee Tuesday and will miss the rest of the season, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old prospect tore his ACL in winter ball and underwent an initial surgery in December, but Mauricio had to go back under the knife this week to remove some scar tissue, ending any chance he might have had of playing in 2024. The Mets expect him to be fully recovered in time for spring training next year. Mauricio made his big-league debut in 2023 after posting a .292/.346/.506 slash line for Triple-A Syracuse in 116 games, and assuming he is healthy next spring, he should be competing for a spot on the big-league roster and potentially even the starting job at second base.
Jul 14 2024Mauricio (knee) was cleared to begin running and hitting in late May, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mauricio opened the season on the 60-day injured list after he tore the ACL in his right knee in December while playing in the Dominican Winter League. He underwent surgery in January and is facing a projected recovery timeline of 8-to-12 months, leaving the door open for the 23-year-old infielder to return from the IL in September. While Mets vice president of player development Andy Green said May 31 that "everything is progressing as it should" with regard to Mauricio's recovery, the organization won't have a clear idea on whether he'll be able to return from the IL in 2024 until later in the summer.
