Ronny Mauricio set for MLB comeback as team faces Dodgers in Los Angeles

Ronny Mauricio has returned to the major leagues. The former top prospect will be promoted on Tuesday and he will go to Los Angeles for the second game of the team's four-game series against the Dodgers, according to Joel Sherman of The Post. While the reason for this move is yet unknown, Mark Vientos seemed to flex his hamstring during the tenth inning of Monday's 4-3 victory. Mauricio, 24, has not played in a big league or minor league game since tearing his ACL in 2013. This year, he has been striking well in the minor leagues, earning time at all three levels and recording an OPS of.892 and an average of.323.

Mets will ‘continue to monitor' Ronny Mauricio as he rakes in Triple-A

Try it free The Mets did not lose track of Ronny Mauricio since his major league debut in 2023, nor after undergoing ACL surgery in December of that year. Now it's nearly impossible to ignore him as the 24-year-old Dominican is swinging a hot bat for Triple-A Syracuse. Advertisement In his last seven games before Friday night's game against Iowa, Mauricio had gone 14-for-25 (.560) with three home runs and seven RBIs. The infielder is ramping back up to regular reps. He has played in three consecutive contests, but has yet to make the jump to playing three days in a row. Advertisement Still, Mauricio has the Mets' attention. 'He's doing a great job. Number one is health and getting him back and building up the volume. We're continuing to do that,' president of baseball operations David Stearns said before the Mets faced the Rockies on Friday night at Citi Field. 'Any time you see players consistently hit lasers all over the field, which is what he's doing right now in Triple-A, you pay attention. We're paying attention and will continue to monitor that and see where it goes.' Ronny Mauricio, who has been red-hot at Triple-A, works on a hitting drill during Mets' spring training. Corey Sipkin / New York Post Advertisement Mauricio returned to action for the first time in 18 months on April 27 for Single-A St. Lucie, going 1-for-3 with a run scored and a strikeout. The Mets are pleased with Mauricio's progress since, but his impressive numbers are a small sample size. Stearns explained there are no specific thresholds in mind for Mauricio to pass, but a solid foundation at Syracuse while keeping his bat hot will be required. Advertisement 'There aren't specific, 'You need to check this box. You need to check that box,' ' Stearns said. 'I think it's more subjective. Is he comfortable playing the field regularly? Does he look right? Offensively, it sure does seem he got himself right pretty quickly, which is very impressive. He certainly has development left in his offensive game. He's likely never going to be the type of guy with Juan Soto-type plate discipline. But there are probably some strides he can make there. 'I think it's fair if he were 100 percent healthy and has had 200 plate appearances already this year, it's a much easier decision.' Ronny Mauricio connects on a RBI single in 2023. JASON SZENES FOR THE NEW YORK POST While not a pressing decision at the moment, the Mets would have a challenge in finding where Mauricio fits. Mark Vientos is in the DH spot, Brett Baty is hitting confidently and holding down third base, and Jeff McNeil and Luisangel Acuña are at second base. However, Acuña's playing time has dipped since April.
