SEPTEMBER 20 • Associated Press

Rejoins big club The Mets recalled Acuna from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Impact Acuna, who has seen the vast majority of his playing time at second base with the big club this season, is expected to occupy a bench role in September. The 23-year-old righty hitter hit .303 with zero home runs and eight steals in 28 games at Triple-A and has batted .239 with zero home runs and 12 steals in 175 plate appearances with the Mets in 2025.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Triple-A The Mets optioned Acuna to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Impact Acuna was up with the big club for just one day, after the Mets designated him as their 27th man for Sunday's 7-3 win over the Mariners in the Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pa. He played second base in the final two innings of the game but didn't receive a plate appearance.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from minor leagues The Mets recalled Acuna from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Sunday's game against the Mariners in Williamsport, Pa.

Impact New York is designating Acuna as its 27th man for the 2025 MLB Little League Classic, so he'll most likely head back to Syracuse once the contest in Williamsport is completed. Acuna isn't in the lineup for Sunday's contest but will provide the Mets with added depth in the infield.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down to Triple-A The Mets optioned Acuna to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

Impact To make room for trade acquisition Cedric Mullins, Acuna was sent packing. The 23-year-old Acuna was hardly playing and should benefit from more consistent at-bats in the minors. Acuna figures to be back up to provide bench depth when rosters expand to 28 players Sept. 1, if not sooner.

Mets recall Luisangel Acuña from Triple-A before doubleheader against Orioles

The New York Mets recalled 23-year-old utility man Luisangel Acuña from Triple-A Syracuse before Thursday’s split doubleheader against Baltimore

JULY 10 • Associated Press

Recalled from Triple-A The Mets recalled Acuna from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Impact Acuna slashed .241/.293/.283 with 11 steals in 65 games for the Mets before being sent down last month. He will offer a bit more versatility than Travis Jankowski, whose roster spot he is taking, but Acuna is unlikely to find himself in the lineup on a regular basis.

JULY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Set to be recalled The Mets will recall Acuna from Triple-A Syracuse, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Presumably, Acuna will serve as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader in Baltimore. The utility infielder was sent down to Syracuse last month after slashing .241/.293/.283 with 11 homers in 65 contests.

Mets send rookie infielder Luisangel Acuña to minors in roster shuffle

Rookie infielder Luisangel Acuña has been sent to the minors by the slumping New York Mets amid several roster moves

JUNE 24 • Associated Press

Heading back to minors The Mets optioned Acuna to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Impact The move was probably overdue, as Acuna has played sparingly over the last month with just five starts since May 24. The 23-year-old will get an opportunity to continue his development at Syracuse while playing every day.

JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE

Picking up rare start Sunday Acuna will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Acuna will pick up just his second start in the Mets' last 15 games. He had previously been a regular presence in the lineup against left-handed pitching, though even those opportunities could begin to fall by the wayside after Ronny Mauricio was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse earlier this month. The New York infield will become more crowded when Mark Vientos (hamstring) returns from the injured list during the upcoming week, and it wouldn't be too surprising if one of Acuna or Mauricio was sent to Triple-A in a corresponding transaction.

Sitting against left-hander Acuna is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Dodgers.

Impact Each of Acuna's last four starts have come against left-handed pitching, but he's not in there Friday versus southpaw Clayton Kershaw. He's now been in the lineup just twice across the Mets' last six contests. Brett Baty is handling second base and batting eighth.
