Mets to call up Ronny Mauricio following injury to Mark Vientos, reports say
LOS ANGELES — With Mark Vientos suffering a hamstring injury during the Mets' win over the Dodgers on Monday night, the club will call on a top prospect to be his replacement. Ronny Mauricio will join the Mets in Los Angeles, according to multiple reports. Mike Rodriguez was the first to report the news of Mauricio's call-up. Advertisement Mauricio, the Mets No. 9 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, last played a major league game in 2023 when he was a September call-up and slashed .248/.298/.347 with two home runs, nine RBI and 11 runs in 26 games. In the Dominican Winter League, Mauricio suffered a torn ACL in his right knee that kept him out the entire 2024 season. He needed an additional procedure to remove scar tissue. The Mets were cautious in bringing the 24-year-old infielder back. He did not appear in any spring training games and was placed on the injured list to begin the season. The Dominican Republic native made his first rehab assignment on April 27 in Single-A St. Lucie and moving to Double-A Binghamton for five games before ultimately being reinstated and optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on May 17. Since joining Syracuse, Mauricio has been on fire offensively. He's 10-for-33 (.515) with three home runs, eight RBI, 10 runs and four stolen bases in nine games. The switch-hitting 24-year-old has split his time between third base, second base and designated hitter. Advertisement With a penchant for hitting the ball hard, particularly against right-handed pitching, Mauricio could see most of his time with the Mets at designated hitter or second base. Brett Baty appears to be set to get the majority of the time at third base following Vientos' injury. Mauricio was a $2.1 million international signing by the Mets out of San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic, in 2018.

Yankees bring two intriguing pitching prospects one step closer to majors
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free Yankees promotions have brought two intriguing starting pitchers closer to the majors. The Yankees have bumped up Cam Schlittler and Carlos Lagrange one level, Schlittler rising to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Lagrange to Double-A Somerset. Schlittler is now one step away from The Bronx after a strong 2024, a nice showing in major league spring training and excellent work with Somerset this season. In 10 games with the Double-A club, the 6-foot-6 righty pitched to a 2.38 ERA while striking out 64 in 53 innings. Cam Schlittler Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Carlos Lagrange MLB Photos via Getty Images The No. 10 prospect in the organization, according to MLB Pipeline, led the system in strikeouts (154) last year and is looking like a realistic option to debut this year if a need arises. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS The big-league Yankees have navigated around several injuries already and expect Luis Gil and Marcus Stroman to return in the coming weeks. Lagrange, a 6-foot-7 righty fireballer, probably is not an option for this year but is providing plenty of hope for the future. The 22-year-old is the first to be promoted from a loaded rotation at High-A Hudson Valley after posting a 4.10 ERA in eight starts in which he struck out 64 and walked 12 in 41 ⅔ innings.

Reports: Royals bringing up No. 1 prospect Jac Caglianone
June 2 - The No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 draft by the Kansas City Royals, highly touted prospect Jac Caglianone is on the verge of getting the call to the majors, according to multiple reports on Sunday night. Ranked as the No. 10 prospect by MLB Pipeline, the 22-year-old Caglianone has been tearing it up in his first professional season. At two levels, the 6-foot-5, 250-pound slugger is slashing .322/.389/.593 with 15 home runs and 56 RBIs in 49 games, including .319/.370/.723 with six home runs and 13 RBIs in 12 games at Triple-A Omaha. Caglianone has mainly played the outfield while at Triple-A and is expected to remain there when he joins the Royals for a road series against the St. Louis Cardinals that opens Tuesday. He was a two-way player at the University of Florida but set pitching aside to play first base when he was drafted last July. The Royals, who have scored the second-fewest runs (194) in MLB, are hopeful Caglianone's powerful bat in the middle of the lineup can boost a slumping offense, especially among the outfielders. Kansas City's outfield group ranks last in home runs (seven), RBIs (46) and slugging percentage (.330). --Field Level Media
