James Wilson Posted 4 hours ago Report Posted 4 hours ago The New York Mets placed infielder Ronny Mauricio on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left thumb just days ago. In corresponding roster moves, the team recalled versatile infielder Vidal Brujan from Triple-A Syracuse and designated another player for assignment. Mauricio suffered the injury while playing shortstop during the Mets’ series against the Angels. The setback adds to the team’s defensive challenges, especially with Francisco Lindor already sidelined by a calf strain. Brujan’s immediate recall provides much-needed flexibility across the infield. This transaction is significant because the Mets’ infield depth is being severely tested early in the season. Mauricio had been contributing valuable versatility, and his absence forces the club to lean more heavily on call-ups and positional shuffling to maintain competitiveness. The move underscores the importance of organizational depth as the Mets navigate multiple injuries while trying to stabilize their 2026 campaign.
