Mets' Slump: Why Not Call Up Mauricio?

0:00On April 22nd, the New York Mets just dropped their 12-stray game to the Minnesota twins, and their offense is straight trash, dead last in. On base percentage at 285, slugging at 332, an OPS at 617. They barely skirt anything off a so-so. Twins pitching staff, with Francisco Lindor's three run homer as the lone bright spot in a ninth inning. Meltdown. Meanwhile, down in AAA Syracuse, prospect Ronnie Mauricio is on fire, smashing three homers in one night and five over the past week, the kind of, pop the big league bats desperately need since Juan Soto hit the injured list. Mets fans are fuming, watching Mauricio rake while the major's lineup sputters, and even with Soto back tonight, one bat won't fix this mess of. Swing and misses. The team gave Mauricio a quick big league taste earlier when Soto first went down, but sent him back after just four at bats, and now rules lock him. In the minors for 10 days minimum, unless there's an injury exception.

1:03They dodged that by calling up a third catcher instead of him last week, even with infielders banged up, but the kid hasn't played once, leaving folks. Wondering why not plug Mauricio at second, third, or DH to spark this slum before buries the season? That's your update from MLB News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story.
