Ronny Mauricio - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

NY Mets send top infielder prospect Ronny Mauricio to Triple A despite hype ahead of 2026 MLB season Despite having plenty of hype surrounding his name, infielder Ronny Mauricio will start the season in Triple A instead of the MLB's New York...

Misses Opening Day roster The Mets optioned Mauricio to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Impact Although he slashed .313/.389/.531 with five RBI, three runs scored and two steals through 13 spring games, Mauricio will not be included on the Mets' Opening Day roster. He may be called up during the season to serve as bench depth, but with Marcus Semien, Bo Bichette and Francisco Lindor (hand) projected to start regularly in the Mets' infield, it would still be difficult for Mauricio to crack the starting nine.

Shows off wheels in spring debut Mauricio went 0-for-2 with a stolen base in the Mets' Grapefruit League opener against the Marlins on Saturday.

Impact After reaching on a throwing error by Connor Norby in the second inning, Mauricio promptly swiped second base. It was an encouraging sign for the 24-year-old infielder. Prior to missing the entire 2024 season after ACL surgery, Mauricio had gone 31-for-38 on the basepaths over 142 games in 2023 split between Triple-A Syracuse and the majors, and per Statcast he recorded a sprint speed in the 60th percentile. In his return last season, he went just 4-for-4 in 61 big-league games on steal attempts with a 15th percentile sprint speed. If Mauricio has regained his wheels and is more confident in the health of his knee a year further removed from surgery, he could make a surprising impact in the SB category if he's able to earn consistent playing time.

Might be Opening Day shortstop Mauricio will be one of the top candidates to replace Francisco Lindor (hand) at shortstop early in the season, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Vidal Brujan appears to be the other likely replacement for Lindor, with Grae Kessinger and Jackson Cluff also in the mix. Mauricio missed the entire 2024 season due to a torn ACL and struggled to make consistent contact last year in the majors after his return, managing a .662 OPS in 184 plate appearances with the Mets while mainly playing third base. With the injury another year further behind him, the 24-year-old may be staring at his last chance to regain the upside that made him one of the organization's top prospects prior to blowing out his knee. Mauricio should at least be locked into a bench spot on the Opening Day roster, even if doesn't become the primary replacement for Lindor.

Another Costly Loss. Why do the Mets Keep Doing This to Themselves?

Finishing year on bench Mauricio has just six plate appearances in September, going 1-for-5 with a single and a walk.

Impact The 24-year-old infielder disappeared from the second base/third base mix down the stretch, while Brett Baty and Mark Vientos took on near-everyday roles. Per Tim Britton of The Athletic, Mauricio remained on the big-league roster rather than being swapped out for a player that manager Carlos Mendoza might have been more willing to use to preserve his final minor-league option for 2026 -- had he spent three more days on a minor-league roster, the option would have been burned. Through 58 games this year for the Mets, Mauricio is slashing .231/.293/.381 with six homers and four steals, but he still appears to be part of the organization's long-term plans.

Losing out on starts Mauricio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Washington.

Impact On the bench for a third straight contest, Mauricio looks to have faded into more of a part-time role after he had been serving as a near-everyday player coming out of the All-Star break. The downturn in playing time comes while Mauricio has mustered a weak .154/.214/.154 slash line since the beginning of August. The Mets appear to be prioritizing Brett Baty and Mark Vientos ahead of Mauricio while the former two players have been more productive at the plate so far this month.

On bench for series finale Mauricio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Mauricio will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Mets go with Mark Vientos at third base and Jeff McNeil at second base. With the acquisition of Cedric Mullins ahead of Thursday's trade deadline likely to limit McNeil's time in center field moving forward, Mauricio will face more competition for playing time from the likes of Vientos, McNeil and Brett Baty in the New York infield.

Ken Rosenthal On 'The Herd': The Yankees Don't Want To Trade Top Prospects

Goes yard again Monday Mauricio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Padres.

Impact The switch-hitting infielder took Padres closer Robert Suarez deep in the top of the ninth inning to tie the game at 6-6, only for San Diego to walk it off in the bottom of the frame. Mauricio has homered in back-to-back contests, and over 16 games in July he's slashing .292/.358/.563 with four doubles, three home runs, one steal four RBI and 10 runs as he stakes a claim to a strong-side platoon role at third base.

Homers in four-hit game Mauricio went 4-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Giants.

Impact Mauricio is batting .295 (13-for-44) over 15 contests in July after posting his best game of the season. Sunday saw him hit his first homer and supply his first RBI since July 8 in Baltimore. The infielder is up to a .252/.320/.441 slash line with five homers, eight RBI, 16 runs scored and three stolen bases over 122 plate appearances this season. He's currently in a strong-side platoon role at third base while Mark Vientos picks up extra time at designated hitter while Jesse Winker (back) is out.
