Overview

  • Ronny Mauricio, rehabbing from two knee surgeries, is halfway through his 20-day assignment and will move to Double-A Binghamton this week.
  • The Mets must decide by next week whether to activate Mauricio to the major-league roster or option him to the minors, with Triple-A being the likely choice due to infield depth.
  • Mauricio has shown positional versatility during his rehab, playing shortstop, second base, third base, and DH, though his batting performance remains rusty at .133.
  • Frankie Montas, recovering from a lat strain, completed his third bullpen session and is nearing a return to facing live hitters.
  • Sean Manaea, rehabbing a strained oblique, has resumed long-tossing at 105 feet, targeting a mid-June return to the Mets' rotation.
