Mets' Mauricio Fractures Thumb, Sidelined

0:00It's May 3rd. This is New York Metz News Today, powered by AI Everything Happening With Your Team. I'm Cory, with the story. Metz shortstop Ronnie Mauricio is bound for the injured list after fracturing his left thumb in Saturday Night's Game against the Los Angeles Angels. The injury hit in the seventh inning on a slow roller, too, first. Mauricio Dove headfirst to beat the throw, turning an initial outcall into a safe ruling after the Metz challenged it successfully. He seemed rattled right after the slide, but stayed in long enough to run the bases, showing that grit you expect from a young infielder pushing for, playing time. Manager Carlos Mendoza pulled him in the bottom half when Brett Beatty entered a third base, sliding Boba's shirt over to shortstop to keep things. Steady? With Mauricio's sideline for recovery, the Metz now scrambled to stabilize their infield depth as they pushed through the season.
