Idle against lefty again Mauricio is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.
Impact The switch-hitting Mauricio will head to the bench for a second straight matchup with a left-handed starter (Tyler Anderson), after the infielder was previously held out of the lineup in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Reds while southpaw Andrew Abbott toed the slab for Cincinnati. Luisangel Acuna will pick up another start and could end up settling into a loose platoon with Mauricio, who has gone 1-for-15 with six strikeouts versus lefties so far this season.

Working with Soto on patience Mauricio has been putting in work in the batting cage with Juan Soto to try and improve his plate discipline, Will Sammon of the Athletic reports.
Impact Chasing balls out of the zone is the biggest weakness for Mauricio, and he couldn't ask for a better tutor in the art of staying patient than Soto, who boasts a career .418 OBP in the majors. "He has been progressing really well," Soto said Sunday. "He's a really smart kid. He's been doing a really good job in the cage. He's trying to stop chasing a little bit, and he's doing it the past couple weeks with good takes, better decisions and swinging the bat well. He is on the right path." The numbers back up the superstar's assessment -- after a 2-for-4 showing in Sunday's loss to the Royals, Mauricio is slashing .302/.388/.512 over his last 14 games with three doubles, two homers, and a palatable 22.4 percent strikeout rate against a 12.2 percent walk rate. If the 24-year-old switch hitter continues to work the count and get better pitches to hit, he could be in line for a big second half, and potentially alleviate the need for the Mets to pursue an upgrade at third base before the trade deadline.

Absent from Saturday's lineup Mauricio is not in Saturday's lineup against the Royals.
Impact Mauricio likely would have been in Saturday's lineup, but Angel Zerpa has replaced Michael Lorenzen (illness) as the starting pitcher for the Royals. With a lefty now on the mound, Mauricio will shift to the bench with Tyrone Taylor entering the lineup to man center field.

Not in lineup for second contest Mauricio is absent from the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader in Baltimore.
Impact Mauricio went hitless in four plate appearances in the first game of the double dip and will now receive some rest in the second contest. Brett Baty is at third base and Luisangel Acuna is at second base for the Mets.

Slugs fourth homer Mauricio went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Orioles.
Impact The 24-year-old infielder got the Mets on the board when he took Brandon Young deep to lead off the sixth inning. Mauricio has only started three of New York's last seven games, but he's come off the bench in two others during that stretch and could be forcing his way back into consistent playing time with his performance at the plate. Over his last 10 contests, Mauricio is slashing .344/.417/.594 with two doubles, two of his four homers on the year, three RBI, seven runs and a very palatable 19.4 percent strikeout rate against an 11.1 percent walk rate.

Losing out on playing time Mauricio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Impact On the bench for the fourth time in six games, Mauricio looks to have moved into a utility role following the return of Mark Vientos from the injured list. With Vientos settling back in at third base, Brett Baty has been getting more exposure to second base, which has closed off Mauricio's primary avenues to playing time. The switch-hitting rookie's outlook for at-bats won't improve when Jesse Winker (oblique) likely returns from the injured list during the upcoming week to give the Mets another option at designated hitter.

Losing out on playing time Mauricio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Impact On the bench for the fourth time in six games, Mauricio looks to have moved into more of a utility role of late following the recent return of Mark Vientos from the injured list. With Vientos settling back in at third base, Brett Baty has been getting more exposure to second base, which has closed off both of Mauricio's primary avenues to playing time. Mauricio's outlook won't improve in the near future when Jesse Winker (oblique) is back from the injured list. At least when the Mets face right-handed pitching, Winker's return will clog up the designated-hitter spot, where the team has been rotating a variety of players lately.

Out of Tuesday's lineup Mauricio is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Brewers.
Impact Mauricio has now started two of four games since Mark Vientos returned from the 10-day injured list, and he could continue to struggle to find consistent playing time. Brett Baty is at second base and batting ninth for the Mets in Tuesday's series opener.

Could stick in majors Mauricio 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-f...
Impact 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.

Homer, three hits in win Mauricio went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.
Impact 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.
