Ronny Mauricio Won't Play In Games Until Mid-March
17 seconds agoNew 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.
