Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Not on World Series roster
Camargo was dropped from the roster ahead of the World Series against the Astros, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Camargo has filled a very limited role in the postseason thus far, going hitless in four at-bats off the bench. Pinch hitters will be needed less frequently with the series partially taking place under American League rules, so while Camargo does provide some defensive flexibility, he's been deemed less useful than pinch-running specialist Terrance Gore.

Ronny Mauricio SS | NYM
Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Awarded for High-A performance
Mauricio was named the High-A East's Top MLB Prospect and also made the circuit's All-Star squad.
A .242/.290/.449 batting line isn't much to write home about, but it's good for a 20-year-old in High-A ball, and he showed noteworthy grit by working his way out of a lengthy early-season slump that lasted from late May to mid-July. He also didn't look daunted after getting promoted to Double-A, batting .323/.364/.452 across eight games there to close out the campaign. Expect Mauricio to open next season in Double-A, where he'll be expected to continue working on trimming his strikeout rate while getting to his power consistently in game action.
