The Mets recalled Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.
He's taking the roster spot vacated by Marcus Semien (hip), who was placed on the injured list earlier Thursday. Mauricio could see some action at second base while Semien is out, though Brett Baty is likely to be the primary option at the keystone. Mauricio is 7-for-32 with one home run and a 0:12 BB:K over 10 games at the big-league level in 2026.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Back from IL, optioned to Syracuse
Rotowire
The Mets reinstated Mauricio (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.
Mauricio had been on the shelf since May 3 with a fractured left thumb. After beginning a rehab assignment last week and going 5-for-14 with one walk, two stolen bases, three RBI and three runs in four games between Single-A St. Lucie and Syracuse, Mauricio has been deemed healthy but will wind up sticking around with the Mets' Triple-A affiliate.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Closing in on rehab assignment
Rotowire
Mauricio (thumb) could begin a rehab assignment later this week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Mauricio has been sidelined since early May with a fractured left thumb, but he's been going through baseball activities lately and has responded well. He would seem to have a chance to be activated before the end of June, though it's not a given Mauricio will be put back on the major-league roster at that time.
The Mets placed Mauricio (thumb) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.
According to Laura Albanese of Newsday, manager Carlos Mendoza said that Mauricio is headed for a CT scan and is facing an initial recovery timeline of 6-to-8 weeks. The Mets called up Vidal Brujan to provide another option at shortstop while Mauricio and Francisco Lindor (calf) are on the shelf, but Bo Bichette will start at the position Sunday in Anaheim and will likely see the bulk of the playing time at that spot.
Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Diagnosed with fractured thumb
Rotowire
Mauricio suffered a fractured left thumb in Saturday's loss to the Angels and will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Mauricio suffered the injury diving into first base on an infield single in the top of the seventh inning. He was replaced on defense in the bottom half of the frame and now appears set to miss extended time. With Francisco Lindor (calf) out multiple weeks, the Mets are in a dire situation at shortstop after Mauricio was just called up last week to fill in for Lindor. Bo Bichette moved to shortstop Saturday following Mauricio's departure and could be in line to fill in there for the immediate future.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: First homer a game-winner
Rotowire
Mauricio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Angels.
With the score tied 3-3 in the seventh inning, Mauricio jumped on a Jose Fermin fastball up in the zone and crushed it 421 feet to right-center field for the game-winning hit. It was the 25-year-old's first homer in nine big-league games this season, and since Francisco Lindor (calf) was sidelined in late April, Mauricio has started seven of eight games while going 5-for-25 with an 0:8 BB:K. He's still got intriguing upside and was slashing .293/.349/.638 for Triple-A Syracuse in 15 games with six home runs and five steals prior to his most recent promotion, but Mauricio will need to figure out how to make more consistent contact to fully tap into his potential.
Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Recalled, starting at shortstop
Rotowire
The Mets recalled Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.
Mauricio is taking the roster spot vacated by the injured Francisco Lindor (calf) and is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Thursday's game versus the Twins. Per Joel Sherman of the New York Post, manager Carlos Mendoza said Mauricio will see the majority of the playing time at the position while Lindor is shelved. The switch-hitting Mauricio had a three-homer game with Syracuse earlier this week and has gone deep a total of five times over his last five contests at the Mets' top minor-league affiliate.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Coming back to majors
Rotowire
The Mets will recall Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse prior to Thursday's game against the Twins, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
It could mean Francisco Lindor (calf) is headed to the injured list, but the club has yet to confirm that. If Lindor is indeed sidelined for a bit and the Mets prefer to keep Bo Bichette at third base, Mauricio could get regular reps at shortstop. He would also be a candidate to play third base if Bichette handles shortstop, though Brett Baty could be first in line there. Mauricio had a three-homer game with Syracuse earlier this week and has gone deep a total of five times over his last five games.

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Elevated from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mets recalled Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.
He'll join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for outfielder Juan Soto (calf), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Mauricio slashed a mere .226/.293/.369 across 61 contests for the Mets last season after missing all of 2024 while recovering from knee surgery. He'll offer manager Carlos Mendoza another infield option, but Mauricio will likely operate mostly as a reserve.
The Mets optioned Mauricio to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.
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 if the infield group stays healthy.

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

Mets' Ronny Mauricio: Might be Opening Day shortstop
Rotowire
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.
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.
