Mets Scramble at Shortstop, Call Up Brujan

0:00On May 3rd, the New York Mets are scrambling a shortstop after a wave of injuries hit their infield. They just acquired Boba Shet from the Toronto Blue Jays, but had to slide him over to short on Saturday when things got dire. Francisco Lindor has been out for a while, and now Ronnie Mauricio joined him on the injured list. To patch things up, the Mets called up Vidal Brujane from Triple A Syracuse on Sunday. He's stepping in as another option to cover the whole, at least short-term, while Bishet shifts back to his usual spot. Brujane brings solid defense and versatility from his time across five big league teams like the Rays, Marlins, Cubs, Brays and Orioles. His career MLB average sits at 199, more of a glove first utility guy without much popper speed. This year in Syracuse, he's hitting 241 with three doubles, one Homer, five steals and a 618 OPS. It's not star power, but with the Mets shorthanded, every arm counts. Andy Ebenez is already up as a utility option, though shortstop isn't his strongest suit.
