Ronny Mauricio DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) is expected to serve as the designated hitter during Tuesday's extended spring training game. This is Mauricio's first game action since December 2023 in the Dominican Winter League. He has been sidelined over the past year due to a torn ACL in his right knee. The 24-year-old also faced a minor setback last July when he had to undergo a procedure to remove scar tissue from his knee. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he slowly increases his workload. Mauricio made his MLB debut during the 2023 season and held a .248/.296/.347 line with two home runs and seven stolen bases across 26 games. If he continues to progress well, he could return to the majors in the second half of the season.

The New York Mets have placed infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) on the 10-day injured list. Mauricio is still working his way back from a torn ACL he suffered in January 2024. However, the 23-year-old has faced a few setbacks which has slowed down his recovery process. Mauricio was unable to participate in any spring training contests and will now miss at least the beginning of the minor league campaign. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he would be eligible to begin a rehab assignment later in April. The No. 6 ranked prospect in the New York system made his MLB debut during the 2023 campaign and posted a .248/.296/.347 slash line with two home runs and seven swiped bags. When he is cleared to return, he could eventually compete for time at the keystone in the majors.

New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) will not play in a Grapefruit League game before spring training comes to a close. The skipper also said he "misspoke" earlier this spring when he said that Mauricio would probably play by mid-March. The 23-year-old had surgery to fix a torn ACL in December of 2023 and was unable to play at all last year after he had another surgery last August. He remains the recovery process and will get a delayed start to the 2025 campaign. When Mauricio is finally cleared to play in games, he'll most likely start in the minor leagues. While Mauricio was hitting the ball as hard as anyone in Triple-A before his injury in 2023, he's only a stash candidate in dynasty/keeper leagues. Until the young infielder can show better discipline at the plate, he'll be a boom/bust fantasy infielder.

New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) isn't expected to appear in spring training games until at least mid-March as he continues to rehab from knee injuries. Mauricio torn his right ACL and had surgery on his knee in December of 2023 before needing a cleanup procedure in August of last year. The 23-year-old didn't play at all in 2024 as a result, and he almost certainly won't be ready for Opening Day in 2025. Even if Mauricio was somehow ready for Opening Day, he'd most likely start at Triple-A Syracuse. In his MLB debut in 2023, Mauricio hit .248/.296/.347 with a .643 OPS, two homers, nine RBI, seven steals and 11 runs scored in 108 trips to the plate. Before being recalled to the big leagues in 2023, he was crushing the ball in the minors, although his free-swinging ways could get him in trouble at the next level. For now, Mauricio should be held in dynasty/keeper leagues.

According to Will Sammon of The Athletic, New York Mets infield prospect Ronny Mauricio (knee) will likely open the 2025 season with Triple-A Syracuse. Given the recent signing of Pete Alonso, there is one less spot open in the infield for Mauricio. Sammon also noted that the team will likely "take things slow" with Mauricio as he is recovering from a torn ACL. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during spring training, as a strong showing could change the team's plans. Mauricio was given a brief taste of the majors during the 2023 season, and he was able to hold his own. Across 26 games, Mauricio held a .248/.296/.347 line with four doubles, two home runs, and seven stolen bases. Across 116 games at Triple-A, Mauricio has held a .292/.346/.506 line with 23 home runs and 24 stolen bases. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Jeff McNeil to open camp as the team's top second baseman.
