Ronny Mauricio's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio underwent another knee operation on Friday, which will officially sideline him for the remainder of the summer. This operation was meant to remove scar tissue, while his first operation this season was to repair his torn ACL, which occurred in December. Mauricio made his major league debut late last season and posted a .246/.296/.347 line with two home runs, nine RBI, and seven stolen bases. At Triple-A Syracuse last summer, the 23-year-old held a strong .292/.346/.506 slash line with 23 home runs and 24 swiped bags. The former top prospect in Queens is expected to be fully healthy by Spring Training. He should contend for a spot on the major league roster and could even push for a starting role.

The New York Mets moved infielder Ronny Mauricio (knee) to the 60-day injured list on Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for right-hander Shintaro Fujinami, whose deal became official. Mauricio will most likely miss all of the 2023 season after he tore the ACL in his right knee in early January while playing winter ball. It's a tough break for the 22-year-old infield prospect, who was going to have a legitimate chance to earn playing time at third base for the Mets in 2024. He is facing a six- to eight-month recovery and will be hoping to earn regular playing time in New York in 2025. Mauricio's long-term defensive position is a bit of a mystery right now, but he impressed at the plate in his first 26 big-league games last year, going 25-for-101 (.248) with two home runs, nine RBI and seven RBI.

New York Mets rookie infielder Ronny Mauricio (knee) underwent surgery to fix a torn ACL in his right knee on Wednesday and is expected to be out anywhere from eight to 12 months. Mauricio suffered the serious injury while playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic. The promising 22-year-old will now be forced to miss most of the 2024 season. He was slated to open spring training competing with Brett Baty and Mark Vientos for the starting role at the hot corner, but that job will now likely go to Baty to start the season. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues can ignore Mauricio in spring drafts, but he should be stashed in dynasty/keeper formats. The Dominican switch-hitter batted .248 (25-for-101) with two home runs, nine RBI and seven stolen bases in his major-league debut in 26 games.
