New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's tilt against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers at Citi Field. Mark Vientos is at third base and is hitting sixth, while Brett Baty will start at the keystone and bat in the nine-hole against Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta. Mauricio, who is playing in just his second MLB season after debuting for the Mets in 2023, is likely going to continue to find consistent playing time in Queens now that Vientos is back from his hamstring injury. The 24-year-old Dominican infielder has also hit jut .224 (15-for-67) with three home runs, five RBI, seven runs scored and two stolen bases while striking out 22 times and walking five times in 20 games this year. It's possible that he could be sent back down to Triple-A Syracuse so that he can continue to play regularly.

New York Mets second baseman Ronny Mauricio went 2-for-3 in his team's 13-5 road win against the Colorado Rockies. The Mets' No. 9 prospect singled twice, walked twice, scored twice, and stole a base. Mauricio picked up a base knock and scored a run in the top of the second, then did so again in the third, adding a steal this time -- the second since his call-up. After two 0-for-4 efforts, he's picked up at least one hit in three straight games and back-to-back two-hit performances. The 24-year-old tore up Triple-A pitching during rehab from an ACL injury and will get a good bit of run with teammate Mark Vientos (hamstring) on the shelf. He's deserving of a roster spot in most formats.

New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio posted a solid performance at the plate during Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Mauricio took right-hander German Marquez deep in the third inning for his first homer of the season. It was a quality outing from Mauricio who finished the game 2-for-4 with a homer, stolen base, and two runs scored. It was his first multi-hit game of the season, but hopefully there will be more to come. Mauricio figures to split up time at third base with Brett Baty. Fantasy managers in deep leagues can take a look at Mauricio, but he's not a must-have player.

New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio will join the team in Los Angeles for the rest of their series against the Dodgers, after Mark Vientos (hamstring) suffered an injury in the tenth inning of Monday night's win. Mauricio played 26 games for the Mets in 2023 and is a key prospect for them going forward, but missed all of 2024 and got a late start to this season after suffering a torn ACL in the Dominican Winter League in December of 2023. After playing 10 games in the lower minors, Mauricio has looked excellent in nine games in Triple-A with the Syracuse Mets. He went 17-for-33 (.515) with three home runs, four stolen bases, a .583 wOBA, and a 48.3% hard-hit rate in that small sample size. He could step right into an everyday role at 3B if Vientos is out a while, and his well-rounded prospect profile with power, speed, and contact makes him a great pickup in standard leagues. He has a very high ceiling and will likely end up with eligibility at multiple positions while making contributions in multiple categories if he stays in the majors the rest of the year.

New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 12-3 win against Triple-A Iowa. The 24-year-old has been on a heater since making his season debut on April 27. In 57 at-bats, the top prospect owns a .316/.365/.526 slash line with three homers and five steals. He's posted over a 60 percent hard-hit rate during this small sample and appears to be fully healthy. Mauricio has made starts at multiple infield positions to provide him with defensive flexibility when he is eventually called up. That will likely come at some point this summer. Mauricio's blend of power, contact, and speed makes him a good target in standard leagues.

New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio has continued to swing a hot bat at Triple-A and is nearing a return to the major leagues. On Wednesday, the No. 9-ranked prospect in the system went deep in his second straight contest. He also posted his third-straight multi-hit game at Triple-A Syracuse. The 24-year-old missed the entire 2024 campaign and the opening month of the 2025 season recovering from a torn ACL. However, the infielder appears to have returned to form. He made his MLB debut late in the 2023 campaign and posted a .248/.296/.347 with two home runs and seven stolen bases. While the Mets' infield is quite crowded at the moment, if Mauricio continues to hit, he will earn a promotion. Fantasy managers in NL-only formats should continue to monitor his production at Triple-A, as he may be just weeks away from his return to Queens.

The New York Mets announced on Saturday that they reinstated infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse. Mauricio's rehab assignment has ended, but he's going to need more time in the minors after missing all of last season while recovering from multiple surgeries for a torn ACL. The 24-year-old is considered the team's No. 9 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, but he probably won't be a realistic option to return to the big leagues until some point in the second half of this season. He went 4-for-32 during his rehab assignment and hit .248 (25-for-101) with two homers, nine RBI, seven steals and 11 runs scored in 26 games during his MLB debut back in 2023. Mauricio has intriguing power upside but needs to clean up his plate discipline to succeed at the next level. He's strictly a stash option in dynasty/keeper leagues at the moment.

New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) continues to rehab from a torn ACL in his right knee after having arthroscopic surgery on Aug. 2 of last year to remove scar tissue from his original operation. Mauricio played in his fifth minor-league rehab game with Single-A St. Lucie on Tuesday and will move his rehab assignment to Double-A Binghamton on Friday. The 24-year-old was put on the 10-day injured list on March 27 to begin the season. He missed all of last year with the injury, but barring a setback on his rehab assignment, Mauricio is expected to make his 2025 debut in the first half of the season. He has intriguing long-term upside for those in dynasty/keeper leagues, but with a crowded big-league infield, don't be surprised to see Mauricio sent back to the minors when he finishes his rehab assignment.

New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a strikeout during his first rehab outing with Single-A St. Lucie on Sunday. The 24-year-old missed the entire 2024 campaign after undergoing ACL surgery. In 2023, Mauricio made his MLB debut and held a .248/.296/.347 slash line with four doubles, two home runs, and seven stolen bases. Earlier in that season, Mauricio spent most of his time with Triple-A Syracuse, where he flashed high upside as he posted a .292/.346/.506 line with 30 doubles, 23 home runs, and 24 stolen bases. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Mauricio's progress during his rehab outing, as he should be in the mix to return to the majors later this summer. When he returns to the big leagues, he could carry value in category formats, given his power and speed upside.

New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) is expected to serve as the designated hitter during Tuesday's extended spring training game. This is Mauricio's first game action since December 2023 in the Dominican Winter League. He has been sidelined over the past year due to a torn ACL in his right knee. The 24-year-old also faced a minor setback last July when he had to undergo a procedure to remove scar tissue from his knee. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he slowly increases his workload. Mauricio made his MLB debut during the 2023 season and held a .248/.296/.347 line with two home runs and seven stolen bases across 26 games. If he continues to progress well, he could return to the majors in the second half of the season.

The New York Mets have placed infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) on the 10-day injured list. Mauricio is still working his way back from a torn ACL he suffered in January 2024. However, the 23-year-old has faced a few setbacks which has slowed down his recovery process. Mauricio was unable to participate in any spring training contests and will now miss at least the beginning of the minor league campaign. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he would be eligible to begin a rehab assignment later in April. The No. 6 ranked prospect in the New York system made his MLB debut during the 2023 campaign and posted a .248/.296/.347 slash line with two home runs and seven swiped bags. When he is cleared to return, he could eventually compete for time at the keystone in the majors.

New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) will not play in a Grapefruit League game before spring training comes to a close. The skipper also said he "misspoke" earlier this spring when he said that Mauricio would probably play by mid-March. The 23-year-old had surgery to fix a torn ACL in December of 2023 and was unable to play at all last year after he had another surgery last August. He remains the recovery process and will get a delayed start to the 2025 campaign. When Mauricio is finally cleared to play in games, he'll most likely start in the minor leagues. While Mauricio was hitting the ball as hard as anyone in Triple-A before his injury in 2023, he's only a stash candidate in dynasty/keeper leagues. Until the young infielder can show better discipline at the plate, he'll be a boom/bust fantasy infielder.

New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) isn't expected to appear in spring training games until at least mid-March as he continues to rehab from knee injuries. Mauricio torn his right ACL and had surgery on his knee in December of 2023 before needing a cleanup procedure in August of last year. The 23-year-old didn't play at all in 2024 as a result, and he almost certainly won't be ready for Opening Day in 2025. Even if Mauricio was somehow ready for Opening Day, he'd most likely start at Triple-A Syracuse. In his MLB debut in 2023, Mauricio hit .248/.296/.347 with a .643 OPS, two homers, nine RBI, seven steals and 11 runs scored in 108 trips to the plate. Before being recalled to the big leagues in 2023, he was crushing the ball in the minors, although his free-swinging ways could get him in trouble at the next level. For now, Mauricio should be held in dynasty/keeper leagues.

According to Will Sammon of The Athletic, New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) will likely open the 2025 season with Triple-A Syracuse. Given the recent signing of Pete Alonso, there is one less spot open in the infield for Mauricio. Sammon also noted that the team will likely "take things slow" with Mauricio as he is recovering from a torn ACL. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during spring training, as a strong showing could change the team's plans. Mauricio was given a brief taste of the majors during the 2023 season, and he was able to hold his own. Across 26 games, Mauricio held a .248/.296/.347 line with four doubles, two home runs, and seven stolen bases. Across 116 games at Triple-A, Mauricio has held a .292/.346/.506 line with 23 home runs and 24 stolen bases. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Jeff McNeil to open camp as the team's top second baseman.

The New York Post's Mike Puma reports that New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) continues to rehab his knee but might not be ready for the start of spring training next month. Mets officials are taking things day-to-day with Mauricio, who had a second surgery on his right knee last year. The 23-year-old started doing baseball activities in December, but the Mets aren't going to rush the young infielder, and he's most likely not going to be ready to go for the start of the 2025 campaign. He has promising upside offensively for the Mets and fantasy managers, but the fact that he hasn't played in over a year should raise concerns about his ability to contribute at the big-league level in 2025. When he's ready to go, Mauricio will almost certainly start in the minors this year after he tore his ACL playing winter ball last offseason.

New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said on Wednesday that the rehab for infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) has gone slower than anticipated and he has yet to resume baseball activities in October. It's concerning news for Mauricio, who initially had surgery in December of 2023 to fix a torn right ACL. The 23-year-old also need another operation this past August to remove scar tissue. There's still plenty of time this offseason for Mauricio to ramp up his activities, but having him be ready for the start of spring training in February may not be a lock now. The Dominican switch-hitter was hitting the ball very hard in 2023 before his injury and made his big-league debut, slashing .248/.296/.347 with two homers, nine RBI and seven stolen bases in 26 games. With Mark Vientos breaking out in 2024, Mauricio's best path to playing time in 2025 might be at second base.

New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio underwent another knee operation on Friday, which will officially sideline him for the remainder of the summer. This operation was meant to remove scar tissue, while his first operation this season was to repair his torn ACL, which occurred in December. Mauricio made his major league debut late last season and posted a .246/.296/.347 line with two home runs, nine RBI, and seven stolen bases. At Triple-A Syracuse last summer, the 23-year-old held a strong .292/.346/.506 slash line with 23 home runs and 24 swiped bags. The former top prospect in Queens is expected to be fully healthy by Spring Training. He should contend for a spot on the major league roster and could even push for a starting role.

The New York Mets moved infielder Ronny Mauricio (knee) to the 60-day injured list on Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for right-hander Shintaro Fujinami, whose deal became official. Mauricio will most likely miss all of the 2023 season after he tore the ACL in his right knee in early January while playing winter ball. It's a tough break for the 22-year-old infield prospect, who was going to have a legitimate chance to earn playing time at third base for the Mets in 2024. He is facing a six- to eight-month recovery and will be hoping to earn regular playing time in New York in 2025. Mauricio's long-term defensive position is a bit of a mystery right now, but he impressed at the plate in his first 26 big-league games last year, going 25-for-101 (.248) with two home runs, nine RBI and seven RBI.

New York Mets rookie infielder Ronny Mauricio (knee) underwent surgery to fix a torn ACL in his right knee on Wednesday and is expected to be out anywhere from eight to 12 months. Mauricio suffered the serious injury while playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic. The promising 22-year-old will now be forced to miss most of the 2024 season. He was slated to open spring training competing with Brett Baty and Mark Vientos for the starting role at the hot corner, but that job will now likely go to Baty to start the season. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues can ignore Mauricio in spring drafts, but he should be stashed in dynasty/keeper formats. The Dominican switch-hitter batted .248 (25-for-101) with two home runs, nine RBI and seven stolen bases in his major-league debut in 26 games.

New York Mets rookie infielder Ronny Mauricio (knee) will have surgery to fix a torn ACL in his knee shortly after New Year's Day, according to a league source. The 22-year-old is in good spirits after injuring his right knee on Dec. 10 while playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic. He was expected to be heavily in the mix for the job at third base after making his MLB debut in 2023. Now that Mauricio will miss a good chunk of the 2024 season, left-handed batters Brett Baty and Joey Wendle will be the primary options competing at the hot corner in spring training. The Mets could look for another right-handed-hitting option at the position that offers good defense at an affordable price. Giovanni Urshela has attracted interest from both the Mets and New York Yankees.
