Mauricio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Rays.
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.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Heading to bench Thursday
Rotowire
Mauricio is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.
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.
Mauricio went 2-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 13-5 win over the Rockies.
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.
Mauricio 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.
Mauricio has started four of five games since his call-up from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday. Saturday's effort included his first multi-hit game, his first homer and his first steal of the season, and he also avoided striking out. He's 3-for-16 with an 0:4 BB:K 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 second base, but his time at shortstop will be limited unless Francisco Lindor needs to manage a broken toe that cost him a couple of games earlier this week.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Hitless in season debut
Rotowire
Mauricio went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Dodgers.
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.
The Mets called up Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
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.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Expected to be recalled
Rotowire
The Mets are expected to recall Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Mauricio's imminent promotion seems to suggest that Mark Vientos is headed to the 10-day injured list after exiting Monday's 4-3 win with a hamstring injury. The Mets have been careful with Mauricio's workload at Syracuse this season as he gets eased back in following multiple knee surgeries, but the 24-year-old has been productive at Triple-A, going 17-for-33 (.515 average) with three home runs and four stolen bases. Mauricio has yet to play more than two days in a row this season, and it's unlikely he'll see consistent at-bats right away with the Mets.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Still ramping up workload
Rotowire
Mauricio 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.
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.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: No timeline to join MLB roster
Rotowire
Mauricio 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.
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.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Activated, optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mets reinstated Mauricio (knee) from the injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.
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.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Rehabbing at Double-A
Rotowire
Mauricio (knee) moved his rehab assignment to Double-A Binghamton on Saturday and has gone 1-for-6 with a double and an RBI in his first two games with the affiliate.
The 24-year-old infielder received the starting nod at third base Saturday before shifting to designated hitter Sunday. 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 right 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. Once his 20-day rehab window closes and the Mets have to activate him from the 10-day injured list, Mauricio is likely to be optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Swipes bag to begin rehab stint
Rotowire
Mauricio (knee) went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base Sunday for Single-A St. Lucie.
After missing the entire 2024 campaign due to ACL surgery that required a follow-up procedure last August, Mauricio was brought along slowly by the Mets this spring and didn't see his first game action of the year until Sunday. The 24-year-old wasted no time demonstrating that he was fully healthy, singling up the middle in his first at-bat and promptly swiping second base. Mauricio still has a minor-league option left, so there's no guarantee he'll be added to the Mets' 26-man roster once his rehab assignment is over, but it looks like he could be ready to bolster the big-league infield within a few weeks. In his last full season in the minors in 2023, Mauricio slashed .292/.346/.506 over 116 games for Triple-A Syracuse with 23 homers and 24 steals.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Moving rehab to Single-A
Rotowire
Mauricio (knee) will start a rehab assignment with Single-A St. Lucie on Sunday.
Mauricio is in the final stages of his recovery from a procedure in January of 2024 to repair a torn ACL in his right knee. He participated in extended spring training, and he has progressed enough to embark on a rehab assignment in the minors. How Mauricio's knee reacts to increased activity will determine the next steps in his rehab program.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Set for extended spring action
Rotowire
Mets 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.
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.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Heads to IL
Rotowire
The Mets placed Mauricio (knee) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.
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.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Headed for extended spring
Rotowire
Mauricio (knee) will remain in St. Lucie for extended spring training when the Mets break camp, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
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.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Will miss start of 2025
Rotowire
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that Mauricio (knee) will not appear in any spring games, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
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 may start the 2025 season on the injured list or in extended spring training before reporting to Triple-A Syracuse.
