Mets' Ronny Mauricio Out for 2024 Season Following Knee Surgery

The 22-year-old infield prospect, who debuted last September, was expected to compete for regular playing time in the upcoming season.

  • Mets' infield prospect Ronny Mauricio underwent surgery to repair a torn right ACL, likely sidelining him for most or all of the 2024 season.
  • Mauricio sustained the injury while playing for Tigres del Licey in the Dominican Winter League in December.
  • The 22-year-old made his major league debut in September and was expected to compete for regular playing time at second base, third base or both in the upcoming season.
  • With Mauricio sidelined, the Mets may look to external options or rely on fellow youngsters Brett Baty and Mark Vientos to compete for the third base job.
  • The team also has the option to play versatile Jeff McNeil at second, which would open room in the outfield.
