Mets Call Up Mauricio, Filling Lindor's Shoes

0:00It's April 23rd, I'm Cory with the story, and this is MLB News to-day baseball news powered by AI. The meds finally snapped their 12-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the twins on Wednesday, but it caused them shortstop Francisco. Lendor, who left with left-cap tightness and heads for an MRI today. Right after that news dropped, the team called up infielder Ronnie Mauricio from AAA Syracuse, where the 25-year-old has been on fire. This April, hitting 3-33 with five home runs and a 1.142 on-base plus slugging, fans are buzzing about Mauricio shot to shine, especially after his brief stint earlier this month. He got called up April 6th when Juan Soto went. Down with a calf issue, then delivered a walk-off single in his first played appearance against the Diamondbacks for a 4-3 win. That was the med's last victory until now, and Mauricio's recent tear in 4 AAA games from April 17th to 21st, 8 for 15.

1:01With five homers, makes this timing perfect, dodging the 10-day roster rule thanks to Lendor's injury. With Lendor likely headed to the injured list, Mauricio could fill in a short, second or third, showing off his power, speed, and arm if given real. Playing time. His big leak slash sits at 234 over 89 games, but the upside feels real as the meds push forward.
